Recs
Selling at nearly 1/3 of book with a healthy dividend over 5%. In a recent Boston Globe Business piece (Globe 100) the President Douglas Starrett said that the next 6 months will be very challenging as "our industry has always lagged the economy; we are late at getting into problems." Equity will probably continue to decrease for the next 9 months but I'm willing to wait it out and see the capital appreciation. This stock has very limited downside.
