Bill et al--
I'm still keeping an eye on CHB (Champion Enterprises...one of the largest manufacturers of modular and mobile homes on the planet). If you recall, I got in last spring when the share price was hammered down to about $0.10, and sold it in the $0.50s.
This is one to keep an eye on. I think that --once housing begins to even remotely show signs of improvement, solid improvement-- this will be a stock that will shoot back up in price to its pre-recession levels ($8-10 per share).
Right now, however, it's just kinda' floundering as they wait for conditions to improve.
Timing this one right could net a HUGE return. DYODD and all that...I already have done mine. CHB is a $2bil company in "good" times; they will survive and will return to their former glory soon.
Just keep an eye on it, and buy in when you (we) feel the housing market is ready to get going again. It's just a simple matter of timing.
