2/21/08- Good fundies, good price, good management, great potential. Don't believe the rumors around contract talks. i might buy a few more tomorrow. Yes, i'm, a believer. 6/15/08-Scaled into this down to $7.50. With the patience to let it work for 6-12 months.

6/15/08-Took a while after it was recommended to find a good entry for this one. But patience paid off. With a 10%+ dividend, and the strength of oil and nat. gas going forward, seemed like a good place to let some capital ride out the volatility.

7/20 - Time for Tech. The spin off should provide some additional momentum. Small position to start, before earnings on 7/23. Seems to trade well even in an off market.

I just can't find a way this won't be a big winner in the long run. Unless civilization comes to an end. I guess management could screw it up, but not these guys. Cash waiting if this one goes any lower. Cash used to double position near it's low. 7/21- Still believe it's worth the pain. Next couple of weeks could be interesting. 2/21/08- Sold some of these a while back. But retain a core holding for the longer run. 6/15/08-Bought back those shares + plus some more @$59. As i said, a long term holding. Still with great potential.

The long term potential of Eddie Lambert. 7/21 - Still believe... but wondering just what Eddie is up to. Now the most painful stock for us. More than NYX even. We must be building lots of character. Stay tuned... but don't hold your breath. He's too smart to give up on easily. 12/11-Though we've sold a few and bought a few, we still hold a position. In fact, waiting for it to turn up to buy a few more. 2/21/08- Still believe. Bought a little at $95.

6/15/08-A good dividend, growth, and currency appreciation. This one has come in nicely since it was recommended too. Still building a position on the way down from $70.

6/15/08-Vertically integrated Brazilian steel Co. From the mine, to the finished product, and everything in between. Anyone think steel will be in over supply any time soon? 4% dividend... the Brazilian Rael's strength. Just finished filling this position @$45
