There are stocks around with ridiculous amounts of cash in hand trading on ridiculously low multiples that I'd rather "back the truck up" for rather than AVB, it's a question of how you choose to weight your portfolio.
And for me it all comes back to: before you have a P/E you've got to have an E. I'm happy to have a high risk portion of my portfolio but there's a limit to how much of my dollars I'm prepared to throw in that direction.
