Over the last 5 years, I have been slightly below the S&P 500 index. Last year was my worst year. The S&P really whooped me. I only did about 8 percent (sigh). I have a penchant for value stocks - well, actually growth stocks which sell at reasonable p/e's. So I tend towards mid-cap and small-cap companies. That's what initially attracted me to SFSK. Their strong projected growth rate with a reasonable p/e - and VlueLine has a great write-up on SFSK. I know they have a lot of debt but that debt is being put to work for additional capacity. given the low interest rate environment, I'm not as concerned about debt as I used to be. I noticed in their last 10Q, which I believe was the first quarter in which they had to make large payments on their debt, they were nicely able to grow eps as well as revenues. I'm betting they can handle their debt.
