Darth: re: BTEK. Well, why not. psr, p/bk, pe, sales growth -- meet value criteria I'd say. But geez, no wonder my garlic shrimp dinners have been tasting funny lately. When you get a company that's involved in balsa wood and pvc manufacturing, and which also has a shrimp farm operation in Ecuador, I guess you can expect some of the output from one division to be used as input for the other divisions. Those shrimp look okay, but I notice they're very light -g-. Problem with these small companies that have such disparate operations is that most investors will avoid them for consideration for this reason. (Lack of focus -- how many businesses can such a small management team handle after all?) I think this is why such stocks seem invariably to trade at low valuations. Paul
