    Thanks for this info, Jim. I first came across LACO in Amit Chokshi's quarterly letter and both his and your evaluations have helped me a great deal so I plan to buy LACO Monday morning. Has your opinion changed at all since you wrote this post?

    Thank you. After asking the question, I read the two articles below and dug deeper into the financials, which together changed my opinion as well.
