Large buyback in place and just increased its dividend. Good stuff considering the stock is trading near historic lows. Strong oversees presence will allow the company to take advantage of the weak dollar. Lots of good names within the company means consumer recognition. Good buy here.

Shrinking revenue and shrinking profit for the last three years in a row. Will it bounce back? Maybe...but it will take a few years and I don't see this outperforming the S&P in the meantime.

However, with great brand recognition and a large presence in overseas markets, SLE is ready for a recovery. The 3% dividend is icing on the cake. And besides, who doesn't like a ballbark?
