Advanta is in the banking business but concentrates on Master Card for businesses rather than for individuals. The company lends to two hundred business qroups on forty sectors. The company was originally formed in 1951 as Teachers Service Organization, Inc. but changed its name to TSO and finally in 1988, to Advanta. The company is headquartered in Spring House, PA.

As of Monday, June 23, 2008, the stock price was $7.55 / share. In 2007, the stock price was as high as $33.00 / share, more than four times what it is now, yet the company is doing quite well. The last reported Earnings per share was $1.00 and Advanta pays an annual dividend of $.70 / share for a dividend yield of 9%.

Although Advanta has had its stock price beaten down along with the others financials, they are actually in a slightly different business from most of them and not subject to exactly the same problems. Advanta's P/E is only 5.1! I expect the stock to rebound within the next year to about double todays price and climb from there.

solid company, some risk obviously, but feel that this company has been hammered by the credit crunch more than it deserved. This will be corrected substantially come recovery time.
