All other factors aside I like that they are starting to bring jobs back to the USA. Exactly the kind of company we should be investing in.

like BGS but for consumer appliances/products - strong brands, benefits from cross marketing and distribution channels

20% of Assets are goodwill/intang, tangable book is negative. ROA is trending lower as earnings being driven by aquisition. High leverage, should be drag on future aquisition and earnings growth

Maker of many familiar brands. They will weather this economic storm over time. Many options available for growth and assets to 'spin off' if necessary. Long term view here.

JAH has one of the most illiquid balance sheet. It also does not distribute any dividend. It may become loss making as most of its products can be bought used or second-hand for a tenth of the price JAH markets them.

Jarden is a comglomerate of household brand names such as Holmes,Bicycle cards,

First-Alert,Sunbeam,Crock-Pot,Rawlings,Penn and Shakespeare, just to name a few. If you look around you home you'll find more than one of these brands there. Muliply that by a million households or so and you get a company who is positioned to do well in a year or two.

I work for the coleman segment.
Bad weather hurt camping this year.
They started upgrading to SAP inventory/data management software whcih caused some bumpes. The employees were working a ton of overtime before management had to do a temporary layoff (still paid benefits) when they realized they had too much inventory. According to management, we averaged around 70% on-time deliveries. They expect the SAP system to help us reach the mid 90% and help us better manage overtime pay. 96% was reached in november.
High insider ownership, diversified portfolio of well managed companies, near it's 52 wk low.
I get a 15% discount for working there. My only complaint is the higher than normal debt.

Lots of brand names and recent acquisition expands portfolio...insider buying...I would prefer less leverage in a company but at current prices it looks worthy.
