One of the items manufactured by this company is vehicular hardware and if the tax rebates are spent, transportation might be boosted a bit. Not to mention companies upgrade their vehicles while the economy is down to save money.

Testing out a portfolio of smallish-cap 5-star stocks found using the CAPS screener. All picks have at least 50 allstars backing them, which should be enough to minimize star rating fluctuations. It's been less than a week, but so far so good!

Very low P/E valuation considering profitability, rising earnings, and ROE.

Eastern Company is what I think may become one of those stealthy blue chips like Hansen Natural or Pool Inc. They have strong management, good inside ownership, low debt, and it's highly profitable. What else could a value investor ask for?

Based on my valuation work, I see these shares at about $53-$54 each. If they keep up their diligent efforts of corporate responsibility and consideration for their shareholders, this could easily become a 7 to 10 bagger over the next 10 years.

My family has owned EML for 100 years! EML has underperformed for about 97 of those 100 years. Time for it to revert to the mean?
