1) One of cheapest MHC available relative to initial pricing
2) Just announced strong earnings which are not reflected in pricing
3) Obvious acquisition target for NWSB which has already purchased Leeds MHC in same town. NWSB is also doing a partial offering of their stock. Will NWSB use this to pay off BCSB shareholders?

Dividends collected: 0.325

Gain/Loss over 73 days: +1.39 +2.92% Annualized Gain/Loss: +14.60%
Sell leaning to hold.

Negative:
Yields just over 1%,
Yahoo and Pink Sheet boards indicate no earnings
Is a long way from where it started at $10 a couple years ago (now $46.50)
Similar to FNFG immediately before second step: Inflated stock that foundered. FNFG eventually made new highs several months after second step.
Second Step is managed by KBW- I do not look for it to be attractive.

Positive:
With only 17% of company publicly traded, Existing shareholders will get the wind at their back of 83% of company converting.

This is the MHC for First Carnegie Deposit of Pittsburgh. Assets are about $150 M. Initial offering was October, 1998. Currently trading @ $14.

Reasons I like it:

1) 60% mutually held gives it good dividend waive power
2) Generous dividend policy with numerous extraordinary dividends
3) Current dividend is $.48/ year
4) Chairman is 75
5) In NWSB territory - NWSB is coming into a lot of cash very soon - They have bought other MHC- - I believe SKBO is target
6) In event of second step you will see nice pop on announcement and actual conversion.
7) No bubble in their assets
8) Cheaply priced relative to other MHC

This is the MHC for First Carnegie Deposit of Pittsburgh. Assets are about $150 M. Initial offering was October, 1998. Currently trading @ $13.08 -- Proof that the market has moments of irrationality.

Recent price (06/25/2009): 15.70

Gain/Loss over 7529 days: -9.30 -37.20% Annualized Gain/Loss: -1.80%
Downgrading from a strong buy to a hold based on announced merger with NWSB @ $17. Holders can look forward to a .7% appreciation upon consummation.

This is the MHC for First Carnegie Deposit of Pittsburgh. Assets are about $150 M. Initial offering was October, 1998. Currently trading @ $16.87--

Reasons I liked it before merger announcement:

1) 60% mutually held gives it good dividend waive power
2) Generous dividend policy with numerous extraordinary dividends
3) Current dividend is $.48/ year
4) Chairman is 75
5) In NWSB territory - NWSB is coming into a lot of cash very soon - They have bought other MHC- - I believe SKBO is target
6) In event of second step you will see nice pop on announcement and actual conversion.
7) No bubble in their assets
8) Cheaply priced relative to other MHC

Best possible scenario for stockholders and some other interested parties is that SKBO cancels merger and pursues second step conversion- likelihood is nero zero.
