You want a gimme pick ??? I just bought 2000 ISFC at $12 1/4. This is a gimme . Recnet savings and loan conversion to stock ownership...Cash approx $10/share, book value approx $17/share.... Yahoo and other news services haven't yet updated the cash/book values , etc to account for the $10/share they raked in on the conversion offering to depositors. At year-end, ISFC should give a $5-$6/share cash dividend which is a non-taxable return of investment. So you will end up holding a bank stock with a book value of say $11, and your cost basis will be about $6 bucks at the time.... INCREDIBLE VALUE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will look to continue accumulating shares of ISFC as long as it is under $13. YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO ISFC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jimbo.
