DW ==> The Summer Sizzler Winner!

Frankly I feel bad for the guy. We'll all get our money on this stock and I hope he does ok too.

Yeah, I was just joking about that. I'm sure if it were me, I'd expect to get a million for it, too. The press release just seemed to say that we're still hoping to recover some or all of that award. I think there's nothing a lawyer wouldn't stop at to get a few extra bucks out of a miserable situation. It's pretty sad, but still, DW's obligated to do what the lawyers say will get them the most $$ for us.

insurance

Why didn't they have insurance to cover these kind of lawsuits ??

[jiesen]

maybe self-insurance was cheaper? at any rate, if they had insurance, a $1M claim will surely cause the rates to increase to where they'd just end up paying most of it back to the insurance company anyway.

you have a good point though... if someone breaks their arm on my property, my insurance would cover a $1M lawsuit. perhaps DW should be similarly covered. it's sort of too late for that now, though.

bump

Bounced off its 50 DMA like a super ball. Another move ahead?

Ok, DW has broken past 40 again, will we see 44 this time? I think so.

Earnings have been nothing but great, and that punch press incident is behind them, so as far as I can tell, systems are go for launch!

I hope you are right it's been almost a year, but 15% in a year sure beats a bank savings account rate of 0.9%.

I hope you are right it's been almost a year, but 15% in a year sure beats a bank savings account rate of 0.9%.

Actually over the same period, the S&P 500 is only up about 4%. So DW has outperformed the market as well.

[B.J]

DW on the move again.

Jiesen, don't you usually post these updates? You're slow

[jiesen]

yeah. you beat me to it!

my damn job is slowing me down again. don't you just hate that? maybe one of these days this investing thing'll pay off and I can just quit.

anyway, just 2 bucks to go on this one... gonna watch it closely, since you never know! (just look at CMTL)

go DW!

[B.J]

You probably would have beaten me to it if I weren't taking the day off. I'm making a 4-day out of it

This may be a "scoop" for Business Week....


Drew Industries Named To BusinessWeek 'Hot Growth Companies' List
Wednesday June 1, 9:09 am ET


WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., June 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Drew Industries Incorporated (NYSE: DW - News), a leading manufacturer of components for recreational vehicles and manufactured homes, today announced it has been named to BusinessWeek's annual "Hot Growth" list of the 100 best small companies.


Drew was ranked 57th, marking the second consecutive year the Company has achieved placement on the list. In 2004, the Company was ranked 64th on BusinessWeek's list.

"We are pleased to be recognized by BusinessWeek as one of America's best performing growth companies," said Leigh J. Abrams, Drew's President and CEO. "During the last several years our success has been based on a combination of organic growth, new product introductions and targeted acquisitions. Moving forward, we expect this strategy to help continue our growth and enhance our profitability."

To create the list, BusinessWeek begins with a database of 2,200 publicly traded companies with revenues of $50 million to $1.5 billion a year. The companies are then ranked by sales and earnings growth, as well as return on capital over three years. Contenders must have a market cap of $25 million or more and a stock that trades for at least $5 per share. Companies that underperform the NASDAQ composite are eliminated, as are companies with recent earnings disappointments. The top 100 remaining companies make BusinessWeek's "Hot Growth" list.

BusinessWeek's cover story "Hot Growth Companies" will be available online at http://www.businessweek.com and is available on newsstands the week of May 30.
