Their weakness appears to be in their legal department for one. Also they are heavily connected to french politicians, and currently the "people" are starting to notice their dirty politicians and are atking them to task(court, like the mayor of Paris, who has been paid big bucks on several occasions so ALA could get in on deals they otherwise would have onyl had a shot at) But, and this is important, they are the third largest company in France(not the oldest, but the thrid largest) and the French are just starting to take an interest in investing on their own. ALA a stock that will be on the rise, according to Le Monde , along with Total and Elf Aquitaine. So that is my summary. Worth buying and will reap rewards, but don't leave the stove with the pot on...so to speak! Good Luck CAt
