SLI and its tightly held shares reminds me of a small company in South Georgia that needed money to expand, and sold shares to finance the expansion.

They knew they had a great product and 1000's of local farmers bought in. 1 share bought in 1919 and if you re-invested the dividends is worth over $4 million per share today.

That tightly held company...Coca Cola

Investing doesn’t have to be complex. Actually, as we now know the more complex you make it, the worse off you are probably going to do. No need for advanced statistical analysis, risk based formulas. As Warren Buffett points out just some common sense and the willingness to take a look at the profits, cash flow, price, management and some thinking about the products. Of course, Warren made a little money off of the Coca Cola company starting in the late 1980s!

Go long and strong SLI, look forward to having a Gibsons and Coke on the SS St. Elias.
