Volatile. Not easy to understand. Engineered materials mainly for the solar industry. They've diversified. A recent acquisition may be transformative, wait and see. Hold if you own it. He's revisiting it. He prefers NEO, as a cheap way to play the EV market.

(Top Pick Aug 26/11, Down 79.18%) Did a massive acquisition that didn’t work out. Should be good opportunities for lead free paint in Europe next year. It will still be tough sledding for the company, which is why he sold it 8 months ago for a 28% loss.

He is still short the stock. The problem with this company is the balance sheet. Made a major acquisition of some of the raw materials that go into the solar supply chain but took on a significant amount of debt. Solar industry has been in serious decline.

One of the best companies in this sector. Produce the product that goes into solar panels. Made close to 30% net margin after taxes last quarter. Extremely well run. Because energy prices have come down, and no one can finance new projects demand for solar panels has dropped dramatically. Sold his holdings because of the risk for the next few quarters.
