re UG, FPIC
I do not see the valuation case for UG and if I am going to consider a stock as dinky as UG, i want to see a valuation edge relative to larger peers. I just don't see that with UG.

I got a counterproposal; FPIC - a dinky little insurance company. Trading below tangible book (P/B about 0.9) PE=8. What caught my eye is that they are buying back stock in droves. Their last earnings were pretty decent:

approved trading by American residents of derivatives related to the main share index at the BM&F Bovespa, the multi-asset exchange formed by the merger of Brazil’s derivatives and stock exchanges in May last year.

Bovespa gets US greenlight
By Jonathan Wheatley in São Paulo

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the agency that regulates commodities and derivatives markets in the US, on Thursday approved trading by American residents of derivatives related to the main share index at the BM&F Bovespa, the multi-asset exchange formed by the merger of Brazil’s derivatives and stock exchanges in May last year.

It follows an agreement on Wednesday between the Brazilian exchange and Nasdaq OMX of the US to discuss commercial and technological partnerships, and is the latest of several developments to expand BM&F Bovespa’s reach into overseas markets.

Added Hawaiian Air to my airline positions.

I like HA's partnering up with Delta (codeshare). HA is going to initiate service to Korea and Japan next year, so that should add revenue, maybe profits. HA has a very good cash position. I assume (but don't know) that cash will diminish as new aibus planes are received (and paid for) for use in Asian routes.

My airline positions and recent activity:

HA: new buy
ALK: trimed. Intenf to add back if stock drops on no adverse news
RJET: trimed. Will add back if stock drops to lows on no adverse news.
ALGT: recent small add

Repeating yesterday again today with another sale of BEN and another add to BK and PAG.
Additionally, closed UG (stub remains).
