Rumor on what?

I still own BD and DTG. I bought because the return on equity of 13% (per Yahoo) is reasonable for the book values Yahoo states, $20 and 13 respectively. Both BD and DTG are selling below these book value amounts; therefore a good indication to me of value. Although the TANGIBLE book value per share is much lower, I believe much of that is due to purchase of franchise operations --- there's an intangible component that BD and DTG have to pay if/when they buy out their franchisees. For both BD and DTG, I notice insider buying within a couple of dollars from the current prices. That's possibly a good sign also. JMO, and I've been wrong many times before. Paul Senior
