RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Balance sheet disciplineI agree. Lumpy earnings but look at the five or ten year growth and it is very high. They have a very good record of acquisitions. Also the dividend tends to grow at 15% annually over longer periods of time. Additionally they show very good balance sheet discipline - zero debt and buying back shares to reduce the share count each year. This investment will continue to be a winner, but you need to buy and hold. It pays you a nice dividend to do this.
