I think this is a dandy stock (I woulda/coulda/shoulda bought in last yr when it went down to 1.85/sh) Closed Friday at $7.65. It's been as high as $8.94 in past yr. EPS .57, P/E 13.42.
This is one of the stocks that the professional financial planners and brokers were laughing at me about and making fun bc I was considering.
