Brunswick Corporation is perhaps best known for their bowling machines and bowling facilities, however, the company is much more than that. They are leading manufacturers of power boating equipment and Mercury engines used to power the recreational wather craft. As the economicy continues its slow, anumic recovery, people will increase spending on recreational equipment.

Can't see how the runup is justified. I expect a rough second half of 2010 for a lot of companies depending on discretionary income of American consumers.

Bleeding cash, demand looks slack for at least a year.

BC has a too high valuation compared to its sales potential. It is also loss making.

Brunswick will have great long-term value however it seems in the short run due to cyclical nature in credit. It might underperform. However, one must be bullish at these price levels. Customers will buy boats! Great hidden value the worst thing I see happening is a possible division sale or spin-off if needed to raise future captial.

Apparently billiards, boats and bowling aren't the best combination. Perhaps BC should try adding beer & bolgne, as those two products seem to sell well during a difficult economy. Even if they did sell beer & bolgne, it probably wouldn't help. The companies EPS, revenue and net income have been faultering for awhile now. Closing the Ohio plan is just further indication that the company is struggling. The fact that BC's stock is selling well below book doesn't appear to be attracting investors. BC will have to make some significant changes to turn this company around.

During times of economic downturn, people seek out activities that divert attention from their problems and lend a sense of control and normalcy to their lives. Boating and bowling are two of these activities.Because of the recent increases in product shipments and reductions of in-yard inventory coupled with slight increases in production rates, I believe that BC stock has reached it's bottom. I expect a sharp increase in stock price over the next 6 mo.
