I am avoiding anyone selling into the automotive market for now - too rocky.

UFPT. That's a 95M deal over 8 years. I don't get "consistent" as applied to a p/e of 20 for UFPT. UFPT hasn't ever shown a yearly average p/e over 18.3 going back ten years. P/e's could hit 20 or much higher--- that could and maybe did happen when UFPT - similar to other suppliers to the auto industry - had little or no earnings. I see it as applying a rosy high multiple (20) to a good earnings-forecasted number to get a (high) projected stock price for a stock in a very cyclical business. If so, very dangerous imo.
