Zolt?

This could be one of those "ten-baggers" that the folks at fool.com are always talking about. Trading at lest than $20 per share, they look like a pretty dang good buy right now. However, I have concernes. I just bought a minor position in this company, and the reason I didn't go in stronger is because a lot of the comments I have been finding on this business have cited that their management is bad, and that the company is broken. So, we have a poor management in a hot sector. What are the thoughts of the gurus on this board?"

It looks like the CEO is sucking up the stock... maybe they are going to boot his rear end. Ha, it looks like Charlie Dill had an inside tip. Sold 10000 shares in December 07 and bought 20000 the other day for $100,000 less than he sold for. Not bad. The fact that the management is buying is good. They are doing very well too... they exercise options or buy in very low and sell at the top end before the stock takes a turn and plummets. Sales are good, but they are still operating at a loss? They should have been able to make money with such a large jump in sales from 06 to 07. Seems like they have potential, as most of the companies in these markets continuing to grow. Alternative energy is excellent in general - and the fact they supply to good industries helps. It looks like they have a good split between assets and liabilities. I'm going to keep my eye on this one."

[/QUOTE] I'm going long, and I actually disagree. I look for strong companies selling for low prices, oftentimes in downtrends, to do most of my shopping. Truth is, I feel like a kid in a candy store (to steal a line from Buffett) lately with all of the great deals on stocks right now. I'm taking a little bit of a gamble with ZOLT in two ways. First off, I think the price is great...and I'll buy more if the price drops more. However, the management is questionable, which is a part of the gamble. The other part of the gamble is the fact that I am currently heavily vested in wind power through GE, TRN, OTTR, and now ZOLT in addition to mutual fund holdings and diversified financial holdings. I'm holding for the long term, and carbon fiber is a material that has a lot of potential uses in the future. Thanks for your post. Currently, ZOLT makes up less than 1% of my portfolio."
