How does the small investor analyse the consumer finance sector? SEC filings certainly do not provide sufficient detail on loan quality. Looking at yahoo business summary I immediately want to know how GNT can make 318 million on 937 million in revenues? Is there really a tooth fairy? I recently initiated a small position of AAC with a stock purchase and ratio write of out of the money calls only because the stock seemed undervalued relative to past performance and so called book value. But I am certain that such parameters are not sufficient to classify a stock as a value play. The entire sector seems relatively inexpensive based on these parameters but such thinking is contrary to the value investors rule of truly understanding the business of the purchase.
