$20.34

Showed up on a screen for solid 5 year growth with low debt, cash on hand and still at attractive P/E ratios.

Solid company that has been beat up. recent caps increase.

Company is in a good industry with oil drilling parts for the oil field. They have restructured management in the past few year, re-aligned businesses to work together, and reduced a lot of debt. There is great cash flow and goos things to come.

Snapped this one up at $20, hits quarterly number and increases guidance.

Eng Equip Co. March 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Robbins & Myers, Inc. (NYSE: RBN) today reported diluted net earnings per share (DEPS) of $0.47 for its fiscal second quarter ended February 29, 2008, more than double the $0.23 of DEPS reported in the prior year comparable period. The year-over-year increase in DEPS was attributed to higher sales, an improved cost structure, and a lower tax rate.

"We all love a big backlog of course, but any chance of increasing production capability to get some of that stuff flowing through a little quicker?" That was the highlight of today's conference call from my point of view. Heck, that was the highlight for me for the entire day! How many times would you wish to ask this question of companies you own? Yep, I thought so. Me too!

That question was but one example of the confrontational/strategic/battlefield tenor of the call. Analysts were quite aggressive. Officers were quite elusive and off-the-cuff. Shorts versus engineers? Could be. Don't really know just yet. Quite a dance, though, I must say. And it looks like they did this same dance last year. Oh my!

Anyway, here is a very old, very diversified, $1.5 billion company that seems to be executing quite well in sectors that all Fools think are important. BUT 19% SHORT. And a 21% HAIRCUT TODAY. Either we have a management problem here, or this is crass market manipulation.

I need to do more DD before I know the answer.

short squeeze watch out above

Experiment time... I will pick whatever stocks that are on the cold 5 star list on the last trading day of each month. There is no research involved other what is on the cold 5 star list at the end of each month. Each pick will be for one year. Lets see where this goes...

breaking out of a 12-week cup with handle base on more than 3 1/2 times average daily volume, with support at 10-week moving average; 4th qtr earnings up 29% year over year

Super high volume day on earnings

Future earnings power prorbably underestimated as margins will improve and revenue increase. This could be a very boring hold for periods, i would buy it on dips and definately try to pick it up before earnings in January '08 for a hold through earnings. Should hit at least 90's at some point within 6-12 months.

this company might have a growing revenue streem ,but where is th emoney going to ? they have no real cash. this is a long term company(been around almost since before i was born) but management doesn't seem to know how to effectively manage it.
it seems to be a dog i don't see it going anywhere near term.
