We all knew they are in the green for 2008, but all are worried about 2009 and what biz they will still hold with everything ON HOLD now.
but for sure their stock is worth more than what it is right now.
In my openion not a bad risk to invest in ARTC at the current price , as you mentioned peanuts, so if goes down its still peanuts but when it goes up you get to buy License Plate N' 5 and 25 etc...
even Jimmy Carter made millions from Peanuts.
ARTC results have been great as expected for 2008 and probably better than many pessimists expect for 2009, but other than the operating results, have there been any releases regarding their cash position?
That is after all the name of the game moving ahead into this year... If their cash position is strong then this stock could go limit up consecutively for a full month..
Normaly in BIZ there is something called back to back l/c and i think they are covered in cash + what Meydan will do if they get it back or not they still make money on it, so for 2009 they will still do good if not better than 2008 due to the huge decrease in materials cost.
