Welcome to Value Investing thread. Hope I did not
scare you from the G&K thread. ;-) G&Ks are
great companies and worth buying at the right prices.

Out of the stocks you mention, I think C is close
to a buy point with expected annual return of ~14%
if it maintains 17% ROE. If not, returns are lower.

I don't have much comment on the others.
I only invest in companies that have >15% ROE for >5
years and <.8 (often <.5) in debt/equity, which
leaves ALD, C, FBF, FRE and EV. I'll let you know
if I look at these.

BTW, there was a writeup on ALD here:
fool.com
It has some good points on investing in financials
and why I usually avoid financial companies.
There are exceptions though such as
Berkshire Hathaway and Wesco. C, FRE, maybe FBF
may be also worthwhile investments.

Good luck

Jurgis
