I totally disagree with guns but that isn't my job. As an investor I think that society has taken the stance the gun ownership is socially acceptable. Taking my emotion out of the equation, gun sales hit record levels on Black Friday. 25% of the buyers are reported to be first time gun owners. Combine that with the fact that firearm safety classes are full if not overflowing, we have ourselves a trend here.

There was a fear that Obama would enact stricter gun control laws; this will not happen. He has too much on his plate with employment and do-nothing congress that even if he wanted to act he wouldn't have the support.

tenmiles and translator are long - and they're some of CAPS' best bulls!

Beaten down for only so long.

Dividend payout is safe, and will ensure market beating returns into the future. OLN's revenue streams are fairly protected from the whims of the market, so now is a good time to buy.

Ran screens looking for l-t b&h dividend stocks. Came up with 7.

Looks like a good time to add this one again. Forward P/E < 9, P/S < 1.0 and a pretty decent earnings report.

low PEG, strong price uptrend

Great growth. Consistently outperforms the S&P. Dividend yield of 4.8%.

I did a stock selection guide study. Using a sales growth rate of 5% an eps growth rate of 15% and a P/E of 14.6 resulted in a 5yr price of 48.18. I also like the div. 80 cents a share.

i've been watching it carefully & bought some recently. hoping to outperform the market over the next 5 years.

Diverse in two (different) major areas: chemicals and firearms (and ammunition) production. Cash-rich, very little debt.

Winchester, the ammo and gun sales alone will keep this one going up.

A yield above 4% and a P/E below 12. I'll take it.

All I have to do is look at the President and Congress and I understand why maker of Winchesters is doing well.
