WD-40, the timeless stalwart of aerosol lubricants (and far and away the king of market share among this groups of products). just looked at the annualized rate of return on the shares over the past 20 years - 11.36%, comprised of price appreciation and dividends (not reinvested). Who says buys and hold is dead?

Satisfies Graham's 1,3, and 6 criteria as well as Piotroski greater than 7 and Altman Z-Score greater than 3.

Can't beat the squeaks without WD-40!

I have seen the error of my ways! Not too long ago I gave this company a thumbs down because they only sell one product. Since then I've done due diligence and I'm impressed. 5.81% insider ownership, which isn't great, I'd prefer 10% but I'll take it. All their margins are good. About 49M in cash and 10.5M in long-term debt. 1.91 times free cash flow (on a yearly basis) to cover the div. which is yielding 3.06%. The P/E is 15.77 more than reasonable IMHO. If I had any cash I'd buy this one for real.

Very promising small cap on one heck of a growth tear here.

The have some fantastic brand recognition and loyalty for their core products, too.

People repairing old things, not buying new ones.

recent downtrend in roe?

small-cap value

Watching the 500, it seems that there will always be good years interspersed with average and bad years. I don't see WD-40 outperforming the S&P 500 when the 500 experiences a good year. I see them far outperforming the 500 in most years.

Company profits look good short term.

Better than expected earning have been forcast for the 4th quarter and are expected to continue into 2008.

What can you say about WD-40

Too expensive. Very limited growth opportunities in M&A market and household product division in the US is having a very hard time. Strategic mistake: go into household products. The company is not big enough to compete - they cant afford slotting fees paid by competitors. Good brands but not a good stock.

won't beat market just yet. couple more bad quarters ahead

Boring old WD-40. They are buying up other brands one at a time. The next P&G?
