twacowfca,
Yeah that's the only point I was trying to make. In my own opinion it is a good company. The way the company trades (price action) though, I think it's easy for a value investor or any investor for that matter to not get a little confirmation bias. In addition, I don't know how board members know exactly that it is priced at book or below right now except for linear interpolation. The company said on the last conference call they would repurchase at worst a bit over book...and they stopped buying in September at 5.52 (8.62 in dollars). It does no harm to practice some patience before proclaiming victory.
