Mike:

As I run through a comparison (albeit not exactly of equals) between say FMO and GPC, I have concluded that GPC is still cheaper. The issue for me is the debt which FMO seems to have accumulated. My back of napkin calculations show that the debt dwarfs the market cap of FMO and actually causes its enterprise value of FMO to exceed that of GPC even though sales are less. I guess coming into a possible downturn into the economy, it would seem that the better choice would be the less leveraged company.
Obviously, you have been around the block more then I have in terms of investment experience so I would like to hear your thoughts. I am considering a second third in gpc, but am weighing it against a possible 1st third in fmo but would like to hear your thoughts.

thanks
