RPM International, Inc. (RPM)

Stock is near 52-week high, and dividend yield is still over 4%, not bad. EPS is growing this year, I like this company for the next couple years.

Paint and Roofing materials. Two things that are constantly in demand. No matter what homeowners and property managers want it other wise.

This is a steady stream of money.

personal note: Dividend play; good momentum; picked on a high, but should still profit.

Upthumb. Excellent cash flow. High payout ratio. 9% 5 year sales growth. Good quick ratio. Nominal debt ratio. High gross margins. Lower raw material costs will help to raise them further.

RPM WAS A CONSITENT $18 TO $20 STOCK IN THE BOOM DAYS PRIOR TO THE RECESSION....I THINK THEIR NEAR THE TOP OF THEIR RANGE RIGHT HERE...PROBABLY WILL GO SIDEWAYS FROM HERE AND MAYBE SMALL 10% PULLBACK COMING...BEEN WATCHING RPM FOR LAST DECADE

Well run company and best in their industry.

Whats that a company that can make a cheap bond offering despite the credit crunch. Time to buy!!

Undervalued world player in the protective coatings market. Constantly changing the mix of companies they own. Have created a nich worldwide.

As a holding company dealing in home maintenance items along with others and a good history, I think they'll survive our depression. especially so, as much of current construction is shabby and will need maintenance and corrections.

Continues to make strategic acquisitions and pays a nice dividend.
