Another overvalued company with a target price around $27 by valuation numbers. Negative revenue and earnings growth signals a short-term trend that will be hard to reverse.Company is also saddled with $6+ B in debt.

AF fits my three-ten criteria.
Not in a big way, but just enough to make me feel picking it as one of my long term holdings.
I like the fact that AF is currently 27% off its 52W high.

AF is 25% off its 52W high, but still approx. 90% up since its March 2009 low.
My kind of value play.

An under-valued conservatively run regional bank centered in wealthy suburbs of NYC (mostly Long Island). Its Strong management managed not to take government money. Real Estate portfolio is fairly healthy. Should return to $20-$30 range within several years.
