In late February I posted a stock analysis over at Seeking Alpha where my conclusion was to wait for lower prices. The company was undervalued on a relative basis against its competitors but it seemed a bit overvalued on its' own merits based on my analysis. It wasn't grossly overvalued but it was trading higher than my fair value calculation and I felt that there were better values to be had at the time. Thus my conclusion was to wait for a small retreat in the share price to give better value for the long term investor.
I've received a bit of criticism because between then and now the share price has increased about 16%. Ooops! Now don't get me wrong I can take criticism and I want each of you to question everything you see here and anywhere else for that matter. We're all looking to improve our investing skills and an open forum for that is the best way. Discussion breeds improvement. Due to that criticism I decided to take a look at some common metrics for the company to see whether the value has gotten better in conjunction with the increase in share price.
