fwiw, selling some AHP to buy more TKR.

Timken's a pretty sharp company in the bearings business. (-g- although sharp maybe isn't the word to use when talking about bearings).

stocksheet.com

Stockholders are suffering. Stock at a five year low. Debt's been increasing, ROE, ROA never great, are lousy now; and sales growth is poor (all imo).

Still, p/sales is relatively low as is price/book. There's a 5.5 % dividend yield. In a couple of years, we "should" be seeing better earnings and/or outlook for TKR. I see the stock possibly then selling for $25 or more (1.5x book, where it's occasionally been before).

Given TKR's excellent reputation, business longevity, current low price, and good dividend yield, I'd call Timken a suitable bet for a Mom's account. (Mom might not want to be selling AHP to buy it though. -g-)
