Asset play. With current net assets of 380 million and a market cap of 231 million this stock is like buying a dollar for 60 cents. Fuel costs will be rising indefinitely into the future so this is a good choice as long as the product is strong.… More

I really don't know what to say. I mean, this stock might do good or bad, so I guess I'll just go choose underpreform. :( --A Scientist

My bet is placed on this stock as a winner for various reasons, my main one potentially being the poorest sounding of them all. Carl Icahn did not get rich by buying up massive amounts of stock in companies swirling around the bottom of the toilet bowl just before the big flush. If my memory serves me right he actually made his fortune as one of the more famous "Green mailer" kings of the 1980s hostile takeover phenomenon. That said this guys a shark, not a guppy and his investment in ARII is based on his very accurate record of knowing what to buy, when to buy it, and profiting from the vast number of his choices being spot on. After the thrashing this companies stock has taken it's still possible for it to see a little more downside performance in the short term, but the long term outperformance this stock will achieve outweighs the negative results that are possible for the coming year ahead. Within five years time this stock will see $40.00 a share at some point during that time period while it's days spent near these all time lows are numbered.
