Lets talk NCI. Up 78% since Sept. 2005.
This company is a Clydesdale Work Horse. They deal in steel. They buy it and slit it, coat it, and punch holes in it and form it, and all the requisite engineering concerning the taking of raw steel and turning it into building components. They are a no nonsense, in your face, American manufacturing concern who is beating the odds and staying profitable. They do more welding in a day than a welding shop does in years.
And they sell alot of the products they produce to their competition. How long will the trend continue? I would guess at least another 5 years. (But a caveat emptor, here. I ain't no rocket scientist.) But I know what I see, and not being a rocket scientist is OK by me, for I do understand intelligent business decisions...... They believe in servicing their customers, and making their product the best they can. One of the main reasons they are in the acquisition mode is they are buying minds and building component technological improvements. They are not a GOOG; but, they sure as hell deserve your consideration. And, in the long run, they are helping Americans to keep America strong. They remind me of one of Walter Brennan's character's famous lines. "No brag. Just facts." Do what you want, but never forget that you knew about it when it was just a piddly little $65 dollar stock, before the split. What more can I say???
I'll go back to sleep now. LOL. Sorry for the rant. But, remember old Walter Brennan.

"If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business. I do the very best I know how - the very best I can; and I mean to keep doing so until the end." ~ Abraham Lincoln
