Well along the detective stuff (as I am sure MANY* would agree*) - sometimes when you know of a promoter or "director" who happens to do well with one company, and he ends up at another company - you tend to figure - if he did well before, why not now? (... or sometimes they end up being on a few company boards) Another example of this was the recent move by Wayne Huizenga into CoolBrands. Before his stints in BlockBuster and Autonation, I entered Republic Waste (just around the time he entered the scene) and made money back in the 90s. Back then it was one of the few American companies interlisted on the TSE. Anyahoo, think COB was brought up on CD's thread. Recently they completed their merger to sell hygienic ice cream or something. I have it on my radar. finance.yahoo.com Symbol COB.TO -> SWI.TO. OT slightly - It seems as well that stocks do very well once their founders return. Two obvious ones include Steve Jobs (AAPL) and Howard Schultz (SBUX). Michael Dell (DELL) is another returning but he hasn't been able to turn things around. I tend to think John Chambers (CSCO) should step down for a spell - and then return. Things aren't so rosy over there. They need the "returning CEO" mojo. Blake
