Guess dividends are variable with earnings and there is a large inside ownership position in this small float calling for them as those earnkings become kown Niche recycling business with defensible competetive edge in recycling licenses and location, facilities and know how catering to insulation industry Just about right? Your $3.62 is a beauty here as it ...more
