Recs
On 9-2-2010 @ $102/share: Market Cap = 31.5B; P/E=9.8; P/B=2.08; P/E*P/B=20.38 (Barely value); Current =2.90 (healthy!) ; LT Debt to Eq = 0.16 (almost nil); ROE (TTM) = 23.07; ROA (TTM) = 12.0; ROA (5 years) = 9.8 ; Div = 1%. In the last five years PKX has traded in a range of $40 to $190. I would be VERY INTERESTED in getting in below $80. Starting @ $78.
On 11-23-2010 @ $95.45/share: Market Cap = 29.6B; P/E=8.78; P/B=1.87; P/E*P/B=16.42; Current=2.90; LTD/Eq=0.16. Sudden drop is due to fear in a military escalation between North and South Korea. A more realistic entry point is around $88.
I'm in with first, small position @ $88/share on 08-25-2011.
