Are you using a Royal We?
To answer your question, I would buy ESNT at $37.00, HLNE at $42.50, AOS at $21.50, OLED at $26.00, and BAH at $36.00. So, given that ESNT would only have to fall by 46% before I would be interested, I guess that would be my pick of the bunch. OLED would probably be bought out by another company before it got to where I would like to buy.
