I also have a liking to companies I can follow closely. I call them my backyard companies. I own Ultralife, Lyon's National Bank, Veramark, & Harris, Harris has it's RF communications division in Rochester (most profitable division). ITT has it's Gould's pump division in Seneca Falls. I sold my IEC electronics earlier in the year.
I also have Seneca Foods -SENEA on my watch list.

In the past my Champion Products was bought out along with my Genencor & Sybron.
