KiK- operationally it definitely looked good, especially given the sluggish economy in Kansas. 2015 had some one time fluff so YOY comps don't look quite as aggressively good but the $5.48 number this past year looks pretty operationally clean. They have a fair amount of unrealized gains that helped the balance sheet (unrealized so could boost noncore earnings from time to time if they monetize) but for the most part I like the segments the investments are in looking forward. Plus they have the core operating numbers alone in 2016 that could justify the market cap.
All IMO only.
