Mike,

I didn't see your screen on Liqui-Box, but if I did, I certainly would have valued your opinion and taken a look.
We found this one independently. (great minds? bg)

I found it scanning the Extended Version of Value Line I received during that week.

The thing that perked my interest further was that a Yahoo poster I admire (investin2329) is a shareholder. We both own Velcro Industries (VELCF) and have been discussing it for months.

Just about everything about LIQB meets my standards for investment so I took a small position. The one thing I don't understand is how they manage to earn that high return on capital in that business. That doesn't mean they don't have some advantage. I just haven't found it yet.

If Capitol Transamerica (CATA) is one of the small insurance firms that came up on your screen I would be happy to discuss it with you. I own a position since year end. I'm in at an average price of a shade over 10 and have added to the position as I learned more. There is also a very sharp insurance guy on that Yahoo thread. (insguythen) He's an agent for the company and I believe has a large interest. He knows their business very well.
