Update on Ticonderoga #2 Pencil - Graham CLASSIC!!

Dixon Ticonderoga DXT

Less than a year ago (market price then $ 1.50) I summarized a Graham classic selling at 19% of book value then and 41% of Net-Net working capital(deducting ALL debt).

It has doubled ($ 3.00) and I took my money off the table and am riding the remaining position. The margin of safety on this was superb if one did there DD and understood GAAP.

I would love to invest in these type of companies all day.
