This is one of my STARZ.
Here is the thought process on this STAR:
a) Divided rate over Zero
b) 3 Year Beta between -5 & +3
c) 15% + Insider ownership
d) No greater than -50% Growth rate for the last 3 years (tought= last couple of years so goo that insiders are still owning the stocks)
e) Current CAPS rating between 3 Stars & 5 Stars
Open to all Industries and Sectors screened this down to just 250 stocks. I like round numbers. 12 of them I already own through other screening tools. I tend to be somewhat conservative but looking for 3 things at this point in my investing:
1. Stability & Strength
2. Yield and Modest Growth
3. Strong Position within a sector regardless of whether the entire sector is strong or not. Each sector has to perform to some degree for the whole world economy to function. I am looking for 5 or more years down the road, ROI, and Growth.
Not looking for rockets, just stars. This is a Star!!

Very undervalued. Recently got extended credit line. Good environment for the business.

They are still struggling with managing portfolios purchased at high prices and subsequent portfolio impairments. Poor EPS will continue for next 1-2 years and stock should underperform as a result.

I'm betting that my neighbors will be defaulting on loans. This will create increased opportunities and revenues for AACC who collects on debt that others have written off.

America is a nation of deadbeats. Maybe some foreign nations will hire them to collect on the national debt. Won't that be something?

Recently this stock lost 1/2 it's value over the perception that it's at risk of loosing control of the debt it purchases. It seams to me that a lot of bargains for cheap high quality debt are available. The next year may look rocky, but it should pay off.
Recs
Too cheap.

Picks out only high quality debt and, above all, understands that it's job is to give back to the shareholders vice "diworsify" or buy growth.

this is a company on the rebound, in a sector that is on the rebound. The management bears watching, unproven, but are making encouraging moves.

Has recently lost ground, but with the dividend coming up and the trend of rising consumer debt, I like this one!

People will continue to get deeper in debt for the forseeable future and default is evident at the first real economy slow down.

Asset Acceptance purchases charged-off debt from credit issuers, consumer finance companies, retail merchants, telecommunications and other utility providers and is committed to recovering the amount owed, even if it takes several years. On average, the Company has been able to collect more than three times the amount paid for a portfolio.

Cash collections were marginally up 3.5% at $80.9 million and except good collection in the first and second quarter of 2007 owing to the consumers receiving tax refunds. An investment to the tune of $27.6 million in the recent quarter had been spent to purchase debt portfolio with $23.1 and $4.5 million in traditional and non-traditional portfolio respectively.

Purchased receivable revenues were reduced by 6.6% due to lower expected returns from purchase made since 2004 and net impairments charges. The increase in collection expenses was primarily due to legal expenses.
The recent purchasing environment remains highly competitive characterized by elevated portfolio pricing. The conservative practice of the management focusing on
