Bank of the Ozarks

12/1/2016

0 Comments

 
I don't own any shares of banks but if I did, this is the bank I'd like to own shares in. And it may be the one I own shares in real soon. The reason this company is on my hit list is because I don't have any exposure to any banking company and I really don't have any idea know why. So in the next few weeks I'll rectify this situation with Bank of the Ozarks as long as the shares in this companies remain at a reasonable price.

​My Path Forward

This appears to be a great company with great fundamentals that was selling for a great price just a few weeks ago. Unfortunately that was then and this is now. And the price is about $6 higher than I'd like to pay for these shares. Accumulating these shares at $40 per share would increase the dividend yield to 1.65% and the one year share price increase to 18.90%. It would also increase the total return on investment to 20.55%. 

I'm not sure is the stock will pullback to $40 per share but that's where I'll be willing to buy them. I'll put in a buy at that level and see what happens over the next week or so. If the order executes, I'll start a position with dividend reinvestment. If not, I'll readdress the issue again. I really like the company but no company is worth buying if the numbers don't work.
