I'm taking a serious look at this stock . . . the Take $tock quality rating is very high and PE is a low 8.27. I listened to the latest earnings call and management indicated an expectation of a slight earnings haricut in 2008. Even adjusting for this expectation, the PE is low. I don't see any reason they should not resume growth once the economy stabilizes. They seem very little exposed to the subprime mortgage market, except for some commercial loans that are affected indirectly.
