Has done very well. They are in a tricky business because of the problems in the price of cotton. They run a tight ship and just keep rolling along. Expect they will continue to do what they have done in the past. Had a little bit of a pull back so now might be the time to step in. Or, if you want, you could buy a half position now and the rest later.

Has been hitting new lows, partially due to tax loss selling. The big problem was when they went into the Madagascar project. Politics there are a little bit turbulent. There are a number of environmental issues and the press has not been good to them. The project has reached the point where it looks like it is going to be producing some reasonable cash flow, however, metal markets are not nearly as good as they were when they started the project. Their coal and Cuban assets are still quite good. After all the tax loss selling is done, we may see the stock turn up.

Sold his holdings because of concerns on the overall environment. Has performed extremely well in the last little while but feels it is probably fully priced. There is lots of competition and pressure on margins. The environmental side is putting pressure on fracing.
