When I first started looking at BGC on March 18, the price was at $17.57. I don’t know why I didn’t make the CAPS recommendation until April, but we are now hitting my first target price. This is the price where I lock in part of my profits, and let… More

When I first started looking at BGC on March 18, the price was at $17.57. I don’t know why I didn’t make the CAPS recommendation until April, but we are now hitting my first target price. This is the price where I lock in part of my profits, and let the rest run for a while longer.

As part of my re-evaluation as a target is reached, I re-run my valuations with updated information. When I look at those numbers, I can see that some things improved and others deteriorated. For example, all of the financial safety numbers improved; for the trailing 12 months, the Altman is 5.63, Piotroski is 7, and Sloan is -3.81, all quite good. However, given the country’s financial condition, the valuations all suffered. Now I would be less likely to buy, but I am willing to hold and hope to see my secondary targets reached as I begin to transition from one stock holding to others.

This was one of the easiest stock picks to make this year, I see no reason that they want deep going up and up and up.
