ABIX,

ABIX is still a decent long-term value IMO, but I'll point out that I think in the short term that earnings could be far last year, given the lack of hurricane-related sales.

LOAN just announced a 100k share buyback. Who knows if they will follow through, but better than nothing. At least the press release seemed optimistic enough that I don't expect a blow-up this quarter.

ABIX,

Even though the stock is a little down since the release, I was actually thrilled with the earnings. Given the recession and the lack of storm activity, I expected their earnings would be way down.

I am happy holding them below book and a reasonable PE here given depressed earnings. I had actually been lightening up a little prior to earnings.
