TKS is not a bad company--it's just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Britain's economy is in much worse shape than the U.S. economy, and they don't have the luxury of printing more of the "world reserve currency" when economic reality hits them in the face. As a result, high-dollar consumer discretionary products will be off the table for a long time in the U.K. That means hard times for the auto industry, and hard times for the auto industry mean hard times for TKS well into the foreseeable future.

If the recession sets in within the United States and the EU, I expect this stock to rise, as people are more likely to fix their cars that buy new ones.
