Keith J. Regarding GI. Do you consider it a better buy now than when we discussed it a year ago?

With their recent acquisition of another refinery, perhaps their earnings will improve. Or perhaps geographical distance and business integration issues will impair.

Still holding my shares.

<<Biggest downside is very high debt load. But is selling at very low cash flow multiple.>>Haven't looked at GI, but as a general observation, when debt is high, consider using Enterprise value [Market value of stock + debt [including fixed preferred and cap leases] - cash] multiples to 'normalize' the debt factor. That way you can more meaningfully compare industry players with varying debt loads.
