All good enough for my money. I only suggest stocks that I own !
(See posts 388/584/665/760/1051/1807/2213/3546/3755/4046/4208/4225/4345/4573/4818/5241/5242/5310/5461/5579/
5169/7651 on 'Investment Analysis Clubs / Dynamic Value Investing ' board for extra due diligence applied ). **MaxPrice is a generic version of Mike Klein's Maxprice and ROC and Earnings yields are generic versions of Greenblatt's metrics. *** PosFCF generic % free cash flow yield taken from AAII and posts 5248 and 5253
See 'Investment Analysis Clubs / Dynamic Value Investing' board and my CAPS profile for further excellent companies selling at a discount to Maxprice with excellent current metrics. CAPS only shows my selections over 100Mill (unfortunately due to restricted lower market cap applied by MF CAPS).
As stated on the 'Investment Analysis Clubs /Dynamic Value Investing' board my aim is to obtain up to 50% returns p.a. as Buffett stated he could obtain (3 times) recently. A very difficult task but you can follow along with my buys and sells on my CAPS page, where I put my money where my mouth is . If I perform well I hope you can benefit. If not , feel free to ignore my comments. CAPS allows each and everyone of us to be clinically judged on our stock picking abilities over the LONG TERM.
Please always do your own due diligence before investing.

I like buying blue chips on sale. I'm more than happy to pay $2/share for nearly $5 billion of sales. They had a nice Q2 earnings surprise.

A bit of a hedge/has been, but if the market goes down UIS should go down pretty hard. Doesn't look very promising long term either way.

Hoping the new government contact gives this company a boost, although the recent military contact didn't seem to help.

Unisys has maintained a 'bean-counter' approach to profitability for the past twenty years. They theorize that the path to profitablity is to cut costs. While this can be true, growing revenue must also be part of the equation at some point. Sadly, management has always turned a blind eye to actually selling their product. Management has never really been able to decide what their product is. With a well-tuned marketing strategy, they could have milked the mainframe niche market cash-cow and grown a good herd of clients. Now all they have is a few captive clients that are nervously eyeing some sort of exit strategy that wouldn't cost more than having to purchase the next Unisys hardware or software upgrade.

I current work for them as a lower end tech. To be honest I don't see all of the problems everyone keeps talking about. I can say one thing that whoever MMI is dead wrong. They care just for the short term value of the stock rather than the long. All that "pressure" did was drop the share. If Unisys sells the government business we might as well fold up shop in the next few years.
Not to worried though. To be honest it’s stupid to think its possible. Most service company’s use techs that do multiple jobs. Government, Business and even end users. Unless you can find a way to cut your core skilled people in thirds, it’s not even practical to split up the business.
Unisys does have problems or that management is kind of iffy. However, we have great sales people and good structure.

UIS is a classic value play at this point. Hitting historical lows, small debt load. I like playing these as they hit lows since downside is minimal but a year or two from now you have good chances of seeing a nice recovery where it doubles if not more...that works out to 50+% returns annually. Just wait and see.

Unisys has a huge amount of long-standing and on-going business in the bag with the private sector, governments and institutions world-wide. Their earnings will be a fraction of the S&P but that should be enough to push share prices above $6.00. That would be a 20+ percent increase from today. Think maybe its safe for me to think S&P 500 will not do >10% for the year? UIS can do
this asleep at the wheel.

I predict a change in technology will bring a greater advantage. Virtualization is spreading like butter. I believe unisys in the next year will reach $26/share. Hints of an upward trend will become noticeable in the beginning of the year.
Now will be a time of revamping, strategy, and brainstorming. This is worth sitting in for the longer haul. watch your pot Quadruple.
