Re: Service was so bad it was comical 
I am actually fairly positive on the WEST debentures.
Even at today's price of around $9 the yield is
about 12.6%. I consider both the interest and principal
to be pretty secure. Even under fairly doomsday..

Re: Service was so bad it was comical (mgccrx)

He left SNS to join Sonic in Sept 2009, I have suspected
because it was this shift in strategy, I can't
imagine that being in charge of ops when the...

Re: Gabelli keeps buying. Now at 6.77% 
Well "inflammatory" is in the eye of the
beholder I guess. I'm just asking questions. I
recently noted that SNS should look at other insurance
companies that are...

Re: Gabelli keeps buying. Now at 6.77%

Re: Don&&39;t listen to Art Vand or Randy Foo 
Art and I are two different people, even though we
seem to agree occasionally. Parsad didn't kick

10 years. Despite what he might say about me, we agree

Biglari should buy AAME instead of FMMH 
Small P&C insurance company based in GA, trading at
