If you can pay significantly less than BV for a piece of a company that grows BV at 12% to 16% per year, you'll eventually do very well.

Niche insurance play - Huurican Irene clobbered this one, but I'm a buyer of Tower at current levels; well-managed company with high historical ROIC trading near bottom of both its own and peer group comparisons - buyer around $20

Long on this undervalued insurance stock. $2.75 EPS estimated for next year. Should rise to the $25-30 mark within a year if they can meet their expectations.

Stock is cheap with a low P/E. Sports a nice dividend yield. Cosistant revenue & earnings and a pretty nice balance sheet. Worth a look while it's this cheap!

Stock price is trading at less than 10 times trailing earnings and the forecast on Yahoo Finance is for 15 percent growth the next two years. Seems to be room for price appreciation from this point.

Currently oversold, trading at very attractive price multiples:
P/FCF: <9x
P/S: <0.7x
P/TBV: <1.4x
Fwd P/E: <8x

In addition to this you have founder and CEO, Michael Lee holding almost 10% of the company. While you wait for the market to fully recognize TWGP's value, you receive a 2% dividend that has grown at an average of >30% per year and still maintains a low payout ratio of under 15%.

This company is way undervalued. When looking at the average trailing 5 year P/E of 14, the EPS of 2.45 and an est.5 year growth rate of 19.67%, this stock is worth 14 x 2.45 x 1.1967^5 = 84 dollars in 5 years from now. When your looking for an annual return of >20%, this is your stock (84 / 2,5 = 33,6), current price is way undervalued given the price/book ratio of 0.96, the 0.47 PEG ratio and a steady growing dividend %.
Company's management effectiveness is way better than the industrial average! Insiders holdership of 8% is a extra plus. I'm in!
