Stock Pick 1/15/2008: BPT

The market has become a chaotic, shifting sea.  In the current situation, rocks of stability are hard to locate.  Yesterday the market saw a large overall gain after a couple weeks of closing down, only to have it wiped out by great losses today.


I'm picking BPT today because of its 15% dividend.  Because of the new year, cash flow comparisons have changed.  Even though the listed TTM cash flow is much less than the dividend, the 790.4% ROE and the 99% profit margin speak of a sustainable dividend.  BPT's market cap is $1.74B and its average daily trading volume is 1,550 shares, at a current price of $78.46 per share.  Right now, in this current market, I think BPT could be a winner.
