Madera plant to open soon adding 40m gallons capacity.
For sure it's going to get better and better at PEIX.
PEIX is hitting on all cylinders and when Medera opens that will provide the
turbo charger to propel the stock much higher. I see no reason to sell the stock
now as the value will only increase moving forward.
