On CAPS, 752 of the 786 members who have rated Genco -- some 96% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These Fools include CAPS All-Star Hetepheres and rfoben.
Last month, Hetepheres tapped Genco as a way to get paid while you wait: "I see this one as being able to weather the current storm (so to speak) and do okay in the long run. In the meantime, DIVIDENDS."
In a pitch posted just yesterday, rfoben shares that contrarian spirit and elaborates on Genco's ability to bounce back:
Conservative, low cost producer, low P/E, price to tangible book is about 35%, high dividend (will likely be cut at least in half--still will be 20%).
Relatively new fleet, serving China especially. Current 80% gross margin under contracts into 2010; will see significant pressure here but Genco will ultimately prosper.
