Any writeup on ITT? What's attractive, what's problematic, what are your targets, etc? What do you think about CAS sale finance.yahoo.com ? About management overall?

Took an opening position in HCBK yesterday. With the price drop this AM, I doubled up.

Hopefully, the bank will perform as it has for the past 10 years and all we'll have to do is figure out how to deploy the dividends.

ALTE - bought a starter in ALTE, a diversified insurance company and one of Dale Bakers picks. As many others trading at below tangible book and a low PE.

HCBK - adding more HCBK at 12.1$, 11.4$ and 11.3$ on recent weakness. Right now HCBK is a bank that is in temporary headwinds (due to low interest rates), trading at a 5% dividend yield and just a hair above book. Management is honest and has an excellent reputation as well as a good LT track record.

I think it is a Buffet franchise if there ever was one in banks.
