Zapata Corp (ZAP)

**

The Company is a holding company which currently has one operating company, Omega Protein Corporation in which the Company now has a 33% ownership interest. In addition, the Company owns 98% of Zap.Com Corporation, which is a public shell company.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

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.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

ZAP is trading at about a 20% discount to its Net Tangible Asset Value... They actually have $7.93/share in CASH, no debt, and the stock is trading at $6.76. This is a no-brainer.

Buying Zapata Corp is just a way of getting a dollar on your 90 cents. Currently the company is valued at 136M and they have just north of 153M in tangible cash and short term cash equivalents. As someone so righteously put, this pretty much is a no-brainer. They have rid themselves of Omega Protein Corp and now are riding solo with Zap.com. As long as they continue to invest their money wisely I don't see why this isnt a perfect buffer for a volatile environment. Slow but steady the turtle always seems to win the race over the hare.
