re LPHI - buying back life insurance below face value ( from dying insurance owners short on cash, I presume) is a shady business and could easily get into the regulators crosshairs. Besides that, if I regard this as an insurance company, at 4X book value the "franchise" better be bulletproof. Even something close to bulletproof like PGR only goes for 2X book (and might be a buy for a GAAP investor).

Life Partners Holdings, Inc. (LPHI)
Looked like it was finally heading toward a proper valuation before a string of bad press held shares down. With zero debt, a 5.3% dividend yield, and a forward earnings multiple of just 7.4, an investment in this unconventional business possesses a huge margin of safety.
