American Financial Group (AFG)

CAPS Rating:
****

A holding company, through its subsidiaries, is engaged primarily in property & casualty insurance, focusing on specialized commercial products for businesses, & in the sale of fixed & variable annuities & various forms of supplemental insurance products.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

I simply find it very difficult to ignore a stock that has a sub-1 price to sales ratio, especially when they still have decent earnings. Good P/E ratio as well, and a very low 1.11 PEG. (Especially low for a company in such a low-growth industry.)





All in all, a good small-...More

Found this company under the insurance tag. Sell all property insurance and casualty stocks, or see your portfolio bcome a casualty! Warren Buffett is negative on the sector and that's good enough for me. Financial sector s--t has to work iits way through the whole goose.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
