Fuel Systems Solutions: 'Be Greedy When Others Are Fearful'

From February but very Relevant!

Maybe the next course of action would be for a shareholder to take on a more activist role, and put this (share buyback) on next year's proxy statement, as a shareholder proposal for vote. It certainly does not hurt to try, and at the very least, would bring notice to this valuable tool. The stock seems quite reminiscent of the Winn Dixie grocery chain, just before it was acquired in a buyout for a 60% premium. Hedge fund guru George Schultze actually featured my Seeking Alpha article in a letter to WINN's Board of directors requesting the company to enact a stock buyback plan. The moral of the story? Activism does make a difference.
