TOP PICK
High end mattress producer so not very economically sensitive. Well priced and growing very rapidly. Trades at a reasonable multiple.
BUY
Mattresses and their patented technology was developed in NASAU for space missions.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick 15/10. Up 43.29%.) Still doing very well.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Dec 15/10, Up 65.65%) Set themselves apart with their patented technology. Captured the high end market. Growing at a rapid rate. Earnings and stock price have both risen dramatically.
TOP PICK
Leading manufacturer of non-coil mattresses. Stock reacted poorly to its recent earnings report. Company met consensus estimates, guided in line but this company has historically raised guidance every time they issue a quarterly report and when they didn't do it this time, it caused the sellers to come out. Announced a discount on one of their mattress lines which concerned people about possible competition. Looking at $4 in earnings this year and $4.75 next year.
TOP PICK

Has just bought their largest competitor, Sealey, which is complementary as they had different types of products, distribution channels, geographic profile and it will be very accretive to earnings. Offers exposure to a recovering US housing market. At the beginning of the year was trading at 22-23 times earnings and then reported 2 lacklustre quarters and is now trading at 12X earnings. Good business.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Oct 23/12, Up 25.20%) Was a play on the Americans. He sold although he is still bullish on the US housing market. The mattress business is more volatile than one would think. He got frustrated with the fluctuations in the business.
