Solid management, solid principles, solid business model, and solid ROE (9.25%). When you see a lot of companies cutting (or completely eliminating) their dividends in times of economic flux to the downside, the Board of Directors at SWS increased the company's quarterly cash dividend to 9 cents per share, a 12.5 percent increase from the former rate of 8 cents per share, at its recent meeting Friday, February 29th. Now we're looking at close to 3% yield on this stock and a book value of $11.50... am I missing something here, or is SWS a steal at $10.85/share?

Nice regional brokerage. With consolidation is investment services arena, SWS could get a look from several suitors. Purely a speculative play for acquisition though.
