Used auto parts business set to outperform. As car companys cut back on leasing/loan options for customers all those people who really could not afford a car without fanciful lease return valuations lowering the lease rate will now have to buy used or fix their car. Cheapest way to fix it is with used parts. Any commodities slow down should hurt recycled metal sources the least.

Debt is higher than I like but it seems to be spent well. Rising receivables is either a concern or a sign of booming business. I am going with booming business because of acquisitions and a similar increase in revenue. Recent price drop gets it back into opportunity range.
Re-upping at a lower start price after collecting accuracy.

Grinding up America and selling it to the Chinese is a great business. SCHN has it figured out.
