DESCRIPTION:

Date updated:10-31-2007

The first and only thing I consider when modeling my portfolio is safety margin.

That margin is assured by a combination of three things, as I think:
1) a great cash flow (a good yield is a plus);
2) low multiple;
3) a business that you understand.

Now and then, you can consider a turn around story. Or a special situation stock.

Those three things aside, you are trading, not investing.

As of march 24th, sold out FDP, WPI and CHR.
Bought NG, MRH and DGX.
Increased ECPG and XJT.

  • GGC
    Georgia Gulf Cp N
  • $13.59
  • -3.96%
  • $14.06

Too much battered down stock, considering its level of free cash flow.

People owning GGC also tend to own: AIGBBDCBHEWSFXIIMMRPCL

  • XJT
    Expressjet Hldgs
  • $3.92
  • -1.51%
  • $3.97

Another stock that provide tons of cash regularly. EV/Ebitda absolutely ridicolous.

People owning XJT also tend to own: BGBHEBIGCPTSDYNGWRGYMB

  • DGX
    Quest Diagnostc
  • $58.15
  • +0.03%
  • $58.06

A sector I like, good margins and cash flow, and favourable technicals.

People owning DGX also tend to own: ABTEPDFMDGSKJNJJOSBJTX

  • NG
    Novagold Resource
  • $5.27
  • -1.13%
  • $5.30

Probably the most cheap stock in its sector compared to the quantity of resources it controls, and with the best managment too (they have to prove theirself operationally, by the way). Almost surely Barrick will try to get it again, after the failed tentative at 16 $ some months ago.

People owning NG also tend to own: AUYGGRAMLNARDARLPAUA.VBQI

  • FRO
    Frontline Ltd

Great managment and yield.

  • PGH
    Pengrowth Egy Uts
  • $9.52
  • -1.65%
  • $9.57

Some good acquisition, and great yielding at least for the next four years.

People owning PGH also tend to own: AXACCMDDREPLFSTGG

  • MRH
    Montpelier Re Hld
  • $17.20

  • $17.01

Same story as CHR, which it substitutes. Hoping for the same outcome.

People owning MRH also tend to own: HRTUSGCRYPDFCGRALQUNYX

  • HW
    Headwaters Inc
  • $5.00
  • -1.57%
  • $5.03

Multiples too low, and worries about its business too high.

People owning HW also tend to own: BHPGTECLRKDUKFTEKIMGNIVAN
