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.

Recs 1 (JTX) OutstandingOdds (21.90) Submitted: 6/13/08 10:21 AM : Start Price: $12.00 JTX Score: 41.69 Investors have the opportunity to purchase this quality business with stable and growing cash flows at a depressed multiple to those cash flows...at roughly $12 JTX is just too cheap for a capital light business with above average growth prospects and a history of using its excess cash to buy back stock. Although the near term outlook is admittedly not great, long term investors willing to take advantage of a classic case of "time arbitrage"...should be well compensated for there efforts, and not just because JTX is paying a 5.25% dividend yield (with a sustainable payout ratio). JTX also has several growth drivers that should propel EPS growth in the mid teens for years to come. Despite the recent turmoil JTX is still a great business with little capital requirements, good growth potential, not to mention a huge addressable (& highly fragmented) market. Current negative sentiment makes it impossible to know how JTX will do over the next few months, but at today's prices patient investors with an eye towards the long term should enjoy outsized, risk-adjusted returns over the next 3-5 yrs Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!

Recs 0 (JTX) chitownjester (< 20) Submitted: 5/21/08 4:28 PM : Start Price: $14.36 JTX Score: -24.60 Disappointing 2Q numbers. Contrast this with the blowout quarter of Intuit. I think this speaks volumes about the state of the tax preparation industry. I myself have used TurboTax and HRB's TaxCut for years now- so should have seen this coming. Betting on trend to continue. People are looking to cut costs- why go to someone else to type the numbers into the computer for you? Why not do it yourself? Still pump your own gas?
