Finally jumping on this one after a recent price pullback; cash-generating machine with excellent management team that is prudently opportunistic; hedge against a faltering U.S. consumer

I bought this back in January when everything was a bargain at $30. I sold about a week later for $36 for a nice 20% gain. I was hoping for a big earnings upset today to bring the price down so I could buy again, but their outlook seems to be very ...

More likely than not a buy it and forget it kind of stock. PRAA can perform well in an up market, when its 'clients' are marginally better able to pay and PRAA can outperform their paper pricing predictions. They can also perform well in a down mark...
