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.

Very cheap stock, with buyback program and a hefty dividend. They have a good amount of long term debt, but is consistent with prior years and appears to be suitable for the business. See also recent Baron's article.

I am very sorry to have missed $15 on this stock. I suspect, given its location in 93 dealerships, it will always have great access to sellers, resellers and directly to general public retailers. I like that they're expanding out to Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Arkansas and Texas; and are looking to get more market share by getting additional locations in the South. While this stock is taking a beating now, I believe the current economic downturn will have people repairing their cars instead of buying new ones. Hopefully, the gas prices will find some adjustment downward with government intervention and vehicles will get back to hitting the road, resulting in the need for more parts. Also, they're providing cars and parts on the high-end side that have been holding steady in sales (the rich stay rich, even during a recession.) I want in on this stock before $20.

Like a number of companies in the automotive sector, ABG has been punished severerly, losing half its value since its peak of $30 at the endof April last year. Since putting in a bottom in late January, the stock has recoved somewhat and has been forming a base in the $13.50-$15.50 range since February, supported by an annualized dividend in excess of 6% at current prices (quoted @ $14.34 as of 4/10/08).

As the economy comes out of the current recession, the automotive sector should be one area that improves. ABG, in particular, should benefit with it's focus on upscale autos should suffer less, and improve sooner, than econo-cars. ABG could recover half of prior losses, breaking out to $20 a share over the next six months to a year.

I recently established a small position in the $14 area, and have added to it today.@ $14.75
