I expect MIDD to attain $5 earnings per share by 2010. Given that, I expect MIDD to trade between $80 - $90 by then, giving me a 100% discount for a purchase under $40. For this reason, it's one of the top 5 largest holdings in my personal portfolio....

It's a relief that the Enodis merger didn't go through and that Middleby instead decided to buy a smaller target instead in the form of Hounos. That together with a price below $74 seems like a good moment to buy more and add it to my CAPS.

With acquisitions creating the only increase in sales and profits and the management still looking to acquire more acquisitions, It seems they might be over extending themselves. They say they're not sure 'put off' sales are going to turn into futur...

A great management team, the global trend toward dining out, and the energy efficient ovens lead me to believe this stock will do very well over the next 5-7 years. This stock remains cheap in the high $70's and low $80's......back up the truck!!
