    Your comments are on target. AYR owns a fleet of next generation aircraft that are the most fuel efficient and hence the most economical to operate at current high fuel prices. They are valued at less than book value of their aircraft and no one is selling their most fuel efficient aircraft near book value. Once the market realizes this fact AYR will recover from their presently valuation. It might be rough ride in between, but eventually this factor will be recognized by value analysis. Reply

    I own Excel Maritime Carriers (EXM) and they are way down now, but I have confidence in them over the long term. Their PE is 3.30 and there dividend is over 6%.

    I have a key labeled 'shift' , but none labeled 'SHIFT'. Anyway, both FRO and NAT are seemingly good dividend stocks. Reply

    Marketfolly,

    I believe we are saying the same thing here or at least seeing the same potential opportunity. Just remember, no ever buys the lows and sells the highs consistently. And if you meet someone who says they do....they're a liar.

    NollierCapitalManageme...

    my thoughts on AXP simply stem from my belief that rising consumer debt and credit card receivables will be the next "shoe to drop," stemming from the housing bubble, credit crunch, and various other headwinds facing an increasingly poorer consumer.

    i agree with your thoughts though regarding their payment processing segment, as I believe that will be a great source of revenue going forward (see MA, V). Also, I think you are correct in that they have developed a strong brand. As a longer term investor, this name can make great sense.

    However, looking out 6-12 months, I still feel the benefits they see from payment processing will be offset by rising delinquencies and charge-offs. I just look at them as a MA or V, but with credit exposure. And, therefore, MA and V should outperform AXP in the near-term. Longer term though, don't get me wrong, AXP does make some sense. But, why buy it now if I think I can buy it cheaper some time from now, ya know?

    Thanks for the comments.

    Nollier,

    how much you made today on AXP as after 3 years you may be well long dead just as everybody else.
    If one don't know to make money today,then gardening is another very engaging proposition.

    Good write up. Just curious as to why you feel AXP is a little ify here? Most people categorize AXP as a credit card company when in fact credit cards are a very some piece of their overall business. A large percentage of their revenues come from merchant fees, processing fees, i.e. closed loop network. I would argue that they are a pay card company. They also have the travel business going for them. I agree they became greedy by entering certain markets with their credit card marketing campaigns. This has caused them pain in the short term. However, this is an iconic brand that has become cheap for the first time in a long time. These scenarios happen infrequently. Those who buy or have bought AXP will be rewarded over the next three years. Yes, AXP could get cheaper but I would bet money managers would add to their positions if it occurs. Cheers! Reply
