An incredibly well run company. They really are experts at integrating acquisitions. They’ve had big tailwinds over the last 18-24 months, in that as the price of gasoline has fallen steadily, their margins increase and people spend more money on other stuff. Have also cross sold some of their food products. Trading at the high end of its valuation range, but on any pullback this is a core holding.

(A Top Pick Feb 24/14. Up 4.09%.) Nov 1, 2019 3.19%. Was trading at a discount just 4 months ago, but is now trading at a nice premium. Still decent to look at, but your yield is getting below 3% right now.

Growth by acquisition story and has done very well. The acquisition they made in Europe last year has turned out quite well for them. Because she is a value investor, the multiples are always a little high for her. Well managed company.

(Top Pick Oct 16’13, Up 24.51%) There is a lot of runway left, especially with their expansion plans.  They are upping same store sales and cutting costs out.  If you don’t own it, buy in the summer or buy some now and wait for it to pull back down the road.  If it doesn’t then you still own some.

Has had this on the radar for a while. Well-run company and have been growing by acquisition both in the US and Europe. He worries that too much of that is getting baked into the share price. There are a lot of things that can surprise investors such as gasoline margins.
