Alamo Group would be a throw back HG pick by the likes of Bill Mann.

Alamo is a manufacturer of agriculture related products, 300M market cap, PB of 1.2, PE of 13. Their debt is minimal and they have a history of increasing revenue, earnings, and book value. It's a small-ish business with few followers and a good business, responsible management, and attractive financial ratios. I also like the macroeconomic tailwinds of the agribusiness sector in regards to commodity price increases.

With this depressing economy more people will be returning to smoking.

Both natural population growth and a gradual lelveliing of he globaal economic playing field mean increased investment in agricultural technologies, which should benefit Alimo over baoth mid and long terms. I consider this stock both a trading possiility and a long term core holding, depending on one' s investment objectives.

This growing food shortage problem is going to get worse and since the dems are going to be taking over the White House, I'm pretty sure right now is a good time to get into anything farm related. Say hello to government aid money.

This is a low beta, below book value stock without too much debt. It makes agricultural replacement parts so this stock could benefit from rising crop and land prices.

Stock consistenly underperforms.

Pretty much absentee upper management

5 years ago the market Alamo was in had 3 competitors, today there are at least 7 competitors successful in the market.

Inconsistant performance of equipment and a poor reputation for customer service, service parts availbilty and warranty in the marketplace encourages competion.

Competitors are popping up faster then Alamo can buy them.
