94% off from 52 week high - the contracts are impressive - just
read the releases - most analysts have downgraded FDRY to a hold from strong
buys. Looks very attractive at current levels.
Trading under 3x book, 3x sales and a dirt cheap actual and
estimated PE for 01.
They all loved FDRY at $152.00, now hate it at $8.31. It now
appears to SA Advisory as a screaming buy.
