a gamble or something more? (repost), page-8

Been a long term holder of this company and they just can't seem to get a decent run at things. I actually went to school with one of the guys that was involved in the MBO from ICI, I believe that a couple of good years, debt paid down and some luck they could be quite profitable and could expand into a large cash making machine. The main problem is all the variables that they have no control over, their products are excellent and I buy them myself. As far as the two majors go, pffffftttttt, I will not spend money there anymore. I will pay Mr independent more for the same thing, as least at the local Independent I get service.
