Disaster Plays Hi tide, In January, I experienced the great ice storm, bought a Coleman standby generator and got the idea of trading Coleman but I watched it for a couple of days and it didn't move so I lost interest. It subsequently had a good rally and made my 'wished I had' list. Coleman has since been bought by Sunbeam, but they have many other problems at the moment. Briggs and Stratton or other manufacturers of small engines might be a good secondary play whenever there are large numbers of customers that lose power. Will be interested in any ideas that Steve has. John
