Ambassadors Group, Inc. (EPAX) profits by partnering with a non-profit,
People to People, to send Americans on educational foreign trips. It
pays a 2.75% dividend, and is currently under-valued due to the
depreciating dollar and conerns over terrorism. It has a $328 million
market cap at $16.74/share, 16% Pre-Tax Earnings Yield, and over 100%
Pre-Tax Return on Capital.
Thomas Group, Inc. (TGIS) is a
consulting firm that gets most of its revenues from the US Navy. It
pays a 5.35% dividend with a payout ratio just under 60%. At
$7.48/share, it has a market cap of $82 million, an EY of 18%, and ROC
over 100%.
Trident Microsystems, Inc. (TRID) makes chips for LCD
and Plasma televisions for major companies such as Samsung, Sony, and
Phillips. An options backdating scandal and competition from low-cost
makers have brought the price down, and the stock is currently trading
at $5.82/share, with a market cap of almost $350 million, an EY of 27%,
and ROC over 100%. The company pays no dividend.
On a
bookkeeping note, it looks like my portfolio at Icarra.com has lost
most of my recent transactions, so I'll work on correcting those and
look into setting up the tracking portfolio somewhere else.
I
found the ticker for DEBS, which has moved to a German exchange. It's
now known by DE1.BE. It was picked 1 year ago, so will be sold this
week.
