Had a misstep on a contact lens solution and the stock dropped to the mid-$40's. He bought at that level, because even if all of their contact lens solution went to zero, they still had other businesses. Recent rumours have driven the stock up to $60.
Has gone through a transition. Was suffering a few years ago when it lost its momentum, R&D lagged. Can see some growth opportunity in their new lens. New president has shaken down the company, cut costs and re-invigorated their R&D. Has exceeded expectations for 13 quarters.
