OX - Good argument on "Net Profit" - It makes me like GLW even more! Regarding JOY, good review. The only negative argument I can make is coal underground equipment sales should fall but will probably be made up in other sectors. I do know that many of the new mines I follow have large capital investments in their equipment which is very efficient. CAT is the go to supplier of the Trucks and dirt hauling equipment. The two year chart shows JOY has under performed. The fiver year chart they are even . . .reversion to the mean for JOY? As long as ADM sells below TBV, it's a go for me. I would elect to toss SPLS. In a sour economy (still on the table) ADM should be seen as a defensive candidate stock similar to VZ (w/ their big dividend). We know their margins are low but in hard times, everybody must eat. Similar to JOY their debt profile is quite low. I would say that my overall metric I look at (w/ our fragile economy) is debt. 4x Annual Net Income s/d be less than Total Long Term Debt is the Buffet measure. ADM has no trouble meeting this metric. Unfortunately (or fortunately) SPLS and JOY both meet this metric too. I still like the idea of buying a business for less than their assets are valued (limited downside) but I am open to other arguments. Good review on Joy. Has me thinking about another add to my already large portfolio. Will put it in my watch list. EKS
