although i have life long moratorium on purchasing non-thrifts, I'd bet with jjr and gang becuase the brainpower trust
is very sound and through..jjr horn histream 18dudez and many other value people..add to that 40% short interest
and you have a potentiaL windfall int he making, additionally, herbs actions seemed to price this recent offering very well
for new investors, so many will have nice profits as this begins its ride upwards..as for my role if our gang is successfull
and nothing happens to acas and the stock drifts back to where it belongs on short covering..ill deliver the balona
to herb i presume his office is here in nyc....ill arrange the balona delivery!!!!!! herb can only so long sling mud
sonething must materialze other wise there will be stampede to cover...go acas..the shorts will be eaten alice by the dividend they must pay each quarter as they wait for ol herb to sling so more mud.......well call it a yuppie brand
of herbbalona

this is a special situation buy under 35price per share. management is very smart and suitably aggressive. fre is expected to have low double diget growth. many MANY capital tools to deploy including buybacks remute(book =70) dividend
special dividends tax free returns of capital spin off of fre shares. chfn is grosslyovercapitalized and can afford all of these tools. chfn will expand by makin CASH mergers of other banks in its market area of western georgia and alabama. i expect
sharecount to go down and div yield to surge through the years....much value to be released for those who are patient holders as it may take time to set these shareholder value tools in place..there are very few shareholders (only 20%) for this very large
thrift as its the largest in georgia so its a leverage play as well as value play....johnson owns so much stock that
anything thats good for shareholder will benefit johnson both father and son......these guys deserve to make plenty
of loot for they created a big company with the prudent puchase of fre @ 1.40 price per share int he 1980's
and thus i submit shareholder should join for the ride this is not a regular thrift at all and arb firms have joined
us in buyin chfn and shorting fre options..also a choice that chfn might do as well..to rake in some additional income
sell calls on huge fre position? but lettin fre ride has worked just fine through the years for johnson and charter
buy it in the 20's and 30's because its still discounted to its remuted book value. fair value is 45-52 price per share

I trust jimmy's opinion. I'd like to add the day one & day two tape is very bullish. The sharks are feeding. This one might have converted to have a profitable change in mangement. I think this one is a likely remuteee and id guess the price will be 18 so buying now in the high 12's leaves enough* vig yet not as much as a few years back. This is a safe stock to own at 13 . the ipoers aint selling. float is tight. clifton is very close to nyc we all have learned that the ones around nyc work. go clifford!

FRE is a bargin. Its trading at the low end of its range. It is conservitive in its risk mangement. The general downturn in the market has made a bargin of this stock as rates are low and spreads wide. at 55 much
of the headline risk gas been purged. I like FRE see CHFN* for a better way to ride this one.

overcapitalized trident underwritten-advised pink sheet otsmhc with tang book 11+ and remuted book 24.
the home of shervesport is the logical remuter as its only a few miles away and is mutual. this one branch shop
has 6 employees and lots of cash for special and regular waived dividends. the risk is its lousey market area
buy under 13 price per share. i expect plenty of dividends and a remute down the road..very cheap and safe
if you buy in at good prices....

What we have here is a stalemate , good location , ok size , good structure(div waiving mhc) ok mangement, BUT valuation is rich. This is why i say hold. Risk reward is ok
this stock will grind its way to 12 in 15 months , paying a tiny div waive , hopefully they will buyback stock and be able thus to waive more and more of its earnings to the minority
shareholders , its boring and safe with a 2nd step unlikely becuase growth is measured Buy on weakness in small lots only , this is not one of our stars but will do ok anyway . remute is possible with several mhc and mutuals and the bigger s & l in same town , might be a good way to combo them with this offering? ho hm stock : )

12 - 14 per share in 2+ years extreamly low balance sheet risk

Is PFS a bank or a thrift? i see strong EPS growth from cost cutting-control and from organic growth of its commercial loan book funded by plenty of core depsoits. I agree with the gang here who put this one STRONG BUY ALERT...after market buy plan: buy some now at the market perhaps half your full load..then buy on any weakness(but you will have plenty of company here buying on weakness)...but after all its ok to buy in the 15's
longer term this one will reach up to the stars at 2 times book value as we see eps RAMP we own a bank here and this bank has plenty of improving and tuning to do in the next couple of years all to ADD to shareholder value.....but under 16.50 price per share as best you can..this is must own to the thriftster portfolio..pros who bought will not be selling all are holding
at least a good part of the orginal allocation ...rememebr banks inthis location with maybe 6-7billion in assetts in couple of years with a juicey loan book and core deposits will COMMAND very high deal prices at the block!

or somethin , nah this oinker will be going to the block as the directors wish to cash in
its sleeping now around book in pinks , worth 19 in 3+ years , buy and put away
esp good under 10 mucho buyback power here , insiders bot 5% of float at issue,
they will support shareholder values , RBLG is another safe and boring way to make 15%
a year : 0 ) fair value is 11.25 stock is off and i think it was appraised fairly yet
the market sees it other wise??? how long will it remain under 10 , how long did self last in the 9's ? while a big round is coming it may remain dormant but soon will run to 10 3/4

RBL$ is a buy !!

Ironically, this is a very safe stock to buy. The FDIC has taken over shop since former managment ran this little 30 mill assett thrift in the ground. We have new ceo and a loan book thats has been cleaned up, in fact has recoverys coming its way of over a buck per share. Over 6 million of high rate cds come due within one year juicing profitablity. this thrift has 200k shares out and im guessing after the cds reprice and the recoverys are booked we have a thrift with tang book int he 18+ range with 75 cents of profits per year. new ceo BOT max of 7500 shares and has some experience in bankin for many years. at the block this will go for low to mid 20's inthe meantime the FDIC will run this shop by the book and letter of the game, thus i say isay its low risk till its sold out
in a few years. BUY it at 12 or so gives a 6 buck discount to book. Additionally many pros own this stock
which will keep this float very tight...a safe way to make a few bucks!! BUY RANTOUL!!

strong buy under 13 price per share this little pittsburgh thrift converted to sellout insiders own plenty
its location is decent and should fetch a decnt price at the block drawback is its pink sheet listed but it
allows cheap entry price its lost and over looked but has a 21 dollar takeover value most little thrifts
in the pittsburgh area merge this will be no exception trident underwritten & advised....safe boring way to make
a decent return in 3 years.......

con=
90% fixed rate loan book spread will get hammered in short order when rates rise?
i guess its good if rates fall further? risk=higher rates and major NIM compression
i like this one but it has risks.....RATE RISK be carefull...im not sure if ill hold this one or not?

this is fast growing trident underwritten-advised otsmhc in a rich nj area. mangement is very sharp and has invested in distressed auto loan paper and in new branch newtork. this is great speculation and a 2nd step conversion is likely
here because its capitial is lean and its growth fast. this is a growth story and money willbe made by riding this growth
up to 500million to 600million in assetts in afew years post 2nd step and then a juiecy takeover target cuz of its size
and locations.....30-40price per share takeover prediction in several years but while we wait we grow! buy on weakness
buy under 15 aggresively

I agree with what was said above by snlguy , decent value has return to our subsector
this is offered below book @11.50 trading price 13+ book value , earnings are betetr then they appear on prospectus , costs will be lower , earnings on ipo proceeds higher , fastest growing town in IN , this is decent risk adjust buy , yet there will be many ecent values coming to market , so buy a little at a time , its a shoppers-nibblers market , pops now are muted , good values to be bot. this is a good one.

buy under 15.50 per share gil the ceo is gona sell the joint and he is 4 years behind cuz of his failed 1998
conversion in three years we will be over 2 billion in assetts and a lot of the excess capitial will have been spent payin
us high dividends special dividiends and buybacks..this one will fetch a good sellout valuation to CFB or CFFN
or others.its good to own this one at book cuz it will command a decent premium for its franchise value
this is the only way to grow assetts in nebraska and i think ol gil is willing motivated seller and he bought heavy
at ipo over 1million of his own money..this one is gone and the tape is very busy funds are loading this
one in.....extreamly liquid and boring way to make good money 22-25 price per share takeover value

BUY @11 . ROE=15%(preconversion) for this banklike pink small floated div waivin mhc. mangement is old
60's & 70's and bot plenty of stock in great bergen county nj location. wawel has good growth and should burn through this offerings cash in short order with organic growth and div waive and could have second step deal in the medium term 1-2 years , although 2nd step values are declin ing i think wawel biz is strong enough and justifys a buy here. this bank is run wisely

12.50-13.50 in ones years time 15% gainers each year.
