i joined you on aig. i think they should benefit from some of the debt thats on sale now. i think its a great buy.
with respect to brinker-i dont know how big a share chili's is of that co. but i went to chili's recently and thought the food was barely edible. I had been to an applebee's a couple of weeks earlier and would definitely choose applebee's over chili's if I had to choose between the two. applebees was cleaner too.

Some interesting companies. :)

NYT - I own GCI, which may or may not be better value. Same problems and not clear if worth holding...

ASFI - yes, attractive assuming you trust the management to know the value of the distressed debt they buy. I may buy this one...

AEO - Holding it. IMO great value.

BBBY - still watching. A buy IMO.

Brendan W. Some attractive ideas in your 12/31 list. I placed a couple on my watch list. I added to [t]ASFI[/t] recently. It seems to me there are so many more stocks trading now at value prices that it's difficult to select from among them. Even for me, who seemingly buys everything. -g-

Like the contrarian list. Will look into Brinker, Masco and Bed Bath. Already have been smoked on NYT and continue to hold. As you mentioned, that one may take infinite patience, particularly with controlling shareholders with their own agenda.
