I don't see either of these as long-term problems. Yes, they probably are causing the cheapness, But if you feel like one of the industry leaders will be capable of managing this debt, and will be able to increase profits by now owning one of their former customers, then doesn't cheap=good.

FWIW, A Chinese company bought bankrupt Murray lawn mowers. I have to wonder of the Chinese plan to ship their own mowers, with their own engines, to the US under the Murray name.

We have contradicting posts on the Murray buyout. I knew Murray went under, but this was this first I heard that BGG bought it. Clarification is in order.

All I know, I read on a Yahoo message board. I defer to the other poster.

Its making you look like a ramper, which I dont think you are. But then again, many people here wont know what that is, so it might be a good idea to become one. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I consider myself a value investor thourgh and through. Still, value investments deserve debate. My hope for the "stock of the day" was that we could discuss the pros and cons of investing in company x, not discuss what to pump and dump. I see now that the semantics of what I titled my thread imply that this is the stock we should all buy "today." My intentions were to start a new "daily" discussion. The stock of choice didn't have to be hot at the moment, in fact they could be arbitrarily chosen.
