Bob- GRA looks very interesting. Thanks.

Another along the same lines is OI. It is primarily in the beer bottle biz which should be recession resistant. They are low cost producer, have 70% of market, and have decent growth characteristics in their emerging markets presence. There is no yield. Otherwise the balance sheet and valuation are similar to CCK. They have seen a little bit of insider buying and KKR is an investor from much higher.

GRA - I stepped to the sidelines @ 2 1/4 after 60% runup, but may re-enter on a pullback. GRA caught an S&P downgrade dated yesterday, but widely available today, that may hit the stock. I suspect it's more reactive than predictive and think the fundamental story remains solid, but the stock could get hit nonetheless.
