Good business model, takes all the trash that no one wants, will clean and collect it, then turn it into something useable. Great in terms of the emphasis on green industry that will be going on throughout the new administration. We all know fast… More

I held this one for about 13 months after it was featured in a Fool article. Who can resist "rrrretirrrement grrrease"? As far as I can tell it's overvalued with a lot of investors betting on the come. I took my 106% gain and left the… More

Solid bread and butter (so to speak) company. Will be needed no matter what else is happening and should do well if commodity and energy prices increase.

From what I understand, they're the biggest in what they do. They're already disposing of grease at about 10% of McDonalds locations (correct me if I'm wrong), and they also help out Waffle House and Costco. Maybe they can strengthen those relationships and reach out to more locations in the future...

With oil prices rising and continued cuts by refiners (done intentionally only to keep prices above $75.00 per barrell) in my opinion. Alternatives will thrive. DAR has their own corner in this area and new technologies along with the continued high prices makes this one attractive. Not to mention that the grease they collect, is not being collected by anyone else of any signifigance so there is more room for them to grow the collection and cleaning grease traps business!!! Oh forgot to mention that this is a green business, which makes a lot of folks happy!
