Interesting trades. Case is a screaming buy, but I would not sell New Holland to buy it. Maybe I should. What was your reasoning. And St. Joe into FLA is also very interesting to me, considering I sold St. Joe outright on Friday...right at the market bottom at noon. (To be fair to myself, I sold 500 of my 600 shares of JOE in the 30s. But that last 100 had psychological significance because I intended to hold them forever. I don't recognize my own portfolio without St. Joe in it.)

Hey Mike:

I want that target hit sooner rather than later.

I'm with you so far. :-)

Part of a margin of safety is knowing that the company will be there for a while

I'd go one step further - without this, there is no margin of safety. Because like it or not, we may have to hold it for a while.

and part of it is the potential to go up in a reasonable time frame.

We just have to be realistic as to what constitutes a reasonable time frame. Companies, especially small ones, can be underpriced for years. Our margin of safety really should allow for this.
