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.

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!

Defensive stock that has underperformed over the last year due to adverse loss anticipation. Investors typically overestimate bad news which creates buying opportunities. Yield is a plus, but not a dividend leader. Price is below book despite earnings growth.

Its PE is really low, yet its earnings and assets both grew a lot in 2009. This when insurance wasn't really the place to be. In fact I need to find some bad news for why this is low, because I don't see why.
