Almost Negative EV, 2013 Insider buying, 2013 share buybacks and Other Value Thoughts



I can’t post much of an explanation for tonight’s researched ideas. The post will be competed tomorrow but still worth sharing. 

Two ideas that meet the criteria of share count reduction in 2013, positive insider buying and high cash per share value creating a low enterprise value to market cap value.

Ambassadors Group Inc. (EPAX): "Ambassadors Group, Inc. provides educational travel experiences and online education research materials worldwide. Its Ambassador Programs and Other segment offers educational travel services to students and professionals. " Yahoo
