VLO. Low psr attracts (attracts me, anyway). Added a few more shares as stock falls further.

I'll take a few shares of Mobile Mini at current price.

On the one hand, the numbers show what I don't like: very low roe yet relatively high p/e. Otoh, there's generally (but not always) rising stated bv and, in favorable times a p/bk >1. (Now though .85x) Company seems to be aggressive in trying to expand its business:

(Co. may have a difficult time if part of its expansion plan is an attempt to compete head-to-head with UHAL.)

Amerco (UHAL). Looks to me like a decent quarterly from U-Haul. I averaged up a few shares on my few-share position. Attraction for me is relatively low p/e, rising stated bv, great brand name awareness. Negatives for me are controlling family shareholders, diversity of business (insurance business).
