I own this stock in my real portfolio, and if I could only own one stock, this would be it, heres why:-They've been paying dividends every three months from the start.-Their financials are stellar.-No one on Wall St is paying attention to them.-Insider ownership is over 90%, and that's one of my favorite signs, it doesn't always translate into a fantastic company, but it does mean that the insiders have a tangible investment in the company and they really believe in it.This really is one of my favorite companies. They're one of those behind the scenes kind of businesses that are integral to our society, yet no one really knows about. They make connectors and splicing ends for fiber optic cables, coax, all kinds of cables, wire grips and braces, protective wire or cable coverings...basically all the little bits a pieces that help connect and stabilize our communications and electrical infrastructure.Super awesome value.also:-PLP SOLAR-Preformed Line Products (PLPC) acquired Direct Power and Water Corporation today (4-13-07) and formed a new division of PLPC, PLP Solar. This sounds like good news to me. They'll have a whole new line of revenue and a whole new area of that they can expand into thats related to their main business, but we'll see.
