The GEO Group, Inc. Message Board

millenium you have to go to sleep for another
year, because it does not really start (press and
advertizing media notwithstanding)until Jan.1 2001. Try
counting to 2000, beginning at 1. What is the last year of
the first 2000 years???
Happy investing and a
Merry Christmas to you all.

Buying more stock at current levels.

for an even better value. Also have some WHC but WAK.b basically gives you WHC and the rest of WAK for nothing if you do the math.

New to WAK/WHC and looking for answers. I feel
both are undervalued but it seems to me that WAK is a
better buy than WHC.

WAK owns 52+% of WHC, are
growing revs and earnings at a higher rate, and
expanding. While outsourcing 'corrections' and 'security'
are fast growing trends, it seems to me that security
(USA and International) will grow faster and be more
lucrative.

What am I missing?

TIA,
Ron

Here are my top 10 reasons NOT to buy WHC a.k.a.
POS.............
(1) Over $2.00 in cash per share.
(2) Tax selling
over in two weeks.
(3) Float is thin 9.6 million
shares.
(4) ROE 18%, ROI of 11%.
(5) P/E one half
of the S.& P.
(6) 7% of stock shorted.
(7) 7
analyst rate it a "Buy" and 3 a "Hold".
(8) Projected
5 yr. Growth twice the S.& P.
(9) Debt free, and
predictable earnings.
(10)Domestic and International in
scope.

Hmmmmm.......aren`t those the same
reasons someone gave as their top 10 reasons TO
buy?
Remember, these things on this list are all GOOD things,
and doesn`t everyone here know that this company
doesn`t do well with GOOD thing happening?

Let me
be the first on the board to...........

W ish
everyone a very
H appy and merry
C hristmas season

Sure I'm one of them....(smiles)...$22.50 basis
nothingh to be proud off, my thinking is the new year may
bring back value oriented stocks, plus have not seen
any drastic changes in the company fundamentals, if
it was good at $45 a share is now nearly 70% a
better buy.
Was hoping to get to tell my top ten for
the comming year at the next Letterman show, but you
all already know one of them..(smiles).

Deeply laughed big time at your Thanksgiving tidings posting...also cried afterwards when I actually thought of the folks who have basis amounts at the stock in the upper $20's and $30's.

Manboking...any chance we can get your top ten
list on Letterman so this baby could get a little
boost come the milennium? Lord knows the PR group here
will take any leads from it's shareholders, I'm
sure!

Just a Monday morning thought...

I remember when this puppy IPO'd. I owned
Corrections Corp of America when it was the top performing
stock on the NYSE. I owned WHC when it had its last
real run up in 1/96. I know the stock is actually down
from where I sold it in early 96 and I've bought and
sold it several times since- generally at losses.
However, at current levels,the upside is much, much
greater than the down. Want to remind you that WHC's
operating results have been consitently great. Want to
remind you that state government run prisons must have
an alaternative - trust me on that. I'll buy here
and hold and enjoy my returns. Don't let the stock
performance tell you how to value a company - let the
operating reults do that.
