OT: Started a tracking position in Western Union.
WU is the premier company in the money transfer business. And its business certainly has been/will be affected by immigration (USA) issues, joblessness, smaller worker paychecks.
WU's short history since spin out from First Data indicates it's somewhat shareholder friendly: There've been on-going stock buybacks and a small dividend. At trailing p/e now of 13 and with stock near 12-mo low, I'll take a few shares. I can't justify it to myself as a value stock though.
