FLIC Returns

Adding the $0.80 annual estimated FLIC forward-looking dividend to the estimated one-year share price upside estimate of $1.80 shows a $2.60 potential gross gain, per share, to be reduced by any costs to trade FLIC shares.

A $10 broker fee (if charged) would be paid half at purchase and half at sale and might cost us about $0.22 per share.

Subtract that maybe $0.22 brokerage cost from my estimated $2.60 gross gain estimate per share results in a net gain of $2.38 X 45 shares = $107.10 for a 10.7% net gain on a $999.00 investment.
