BGCP: Too tough for me. leave it to you, and assume you'll do well with this, as you have with your other picks here. I see a company with spotty returns over the past decade. In the past five years equity (book value) has stayed about in the $3 area. Looks like (at Yahoo) it's about $2/sh now. On this equity, it's earning about 5% -- about the same as it's earned in the past few years. How the company can pay out .48 in dividends (annualized amount), and not only not shrink, but instead can be expected to grow substantially -- I've no idea. For you guys who do the research, maybe it's there -- I don't get it, so for me, a pass.
