Even with their secondary offering earlier this year, GOV comes in w/ better than expected earnings. Analysts have 2012 estimates at $2.02/year. At current prices GOV sells at a 11.7 PE. Still a good value at current pricese. I plan to peel off a few shares at a PE over 12 when the price moves above $25.00/share.
