  • Kingstone Companies Inc: A Great Buy 0 comments
    Jun 2, 2012 4:57 PM | about stocks: KINS

    Now most of you have probably never heard of Kingstone Companies Inc. (KINS). And the reason for that is because it is a small company (small cap) and doesn't get much public attention. The reason I believe it is a great stock to invest in is because it contains all the things I think a stock needs.

    • Good management and increasing sales and EPS.
    • A low P/E ratio of 6.0
    • Low volatility stock and low risk.
    • As shown by the graph, great growth in the company.
