Another stock too dependent on investing and banking.

This Stock alone helped me recoup 12,000.00 dollars of my money that went missing - Geez I hope I don't have to go thru that again, what a nightmare, I literally pulled out my eyebrows and I had to take Zanex, What the H E double hockey sticks do I know about the stock market - I will tell you - NOTHING - that is why I should have never hired a "Financial Advisor" I should have just put all my new found money at the time (2007) in a CD but Nooooooo I got mocked and talked into mutal funds that were going to get me a 18% return, well that didn't happen, in a panic I cashed out Thank God I only lost 22 thousand. I wanted to get my money back and I wanted to get it back Fast so I watched Fast Money and Charles Neener (little bit out there that guy he uses sunspots for part of his research) He recd ING which worked out even better than JEF anyhow I traded all by myself and I have a happy ending finally - I don't recommend trying this at home if you are a lowly, simple career receptionist like me. I have no right to be a score leader - because I had luck not market savy - Thanks for listening not that anyone cares - so let it be written so let it be done - I will never watch CNBC again for the rest of my life

This company was individually screened to verify that during the boom years ('04-'08), their Balance Sheet expansion appeared excessive. The company operates within the FIRE (Financial Insurance Real Estate) sector of the economy which has been hot the past few decades, yet will run out of steam this coming decade. At some point or another, something's gotta give with this company. Income will start collapsing due to debt levels, and/or dividends will be slashed or removed, and/or significant losses will be realized. The chances of this being a growth company or having significant growth is heavily muted due to its dividend paying obligations at the current levels of today.
This company was personally found after using a screener.

initial google screen:
Market cap over 400M
Dividend yield over 1%
1 Year price change better than -35%
price to book 0.9 or higher
total debt/equity (recent qtr) greater than 50%
13 week price change greater than 17%

After individually screening for companies appearing overvalued due to Balance sheet expansion, it yielded the following stocks to short:
EVR NTRS PRSP JEF LAZ FIS RJF

For the heavy shorting within the FIRE sector as part of the above picks, I will offset them with the following longs relating to FIRE companies:
LONG on BX CVBF UTR

This will be the primary focus of this profile, to seek & obtain alpha from long/short dividend opportunities across various industries.
