This month's pick is about a company that is easy to understand. Though it operates in a fiercely cyclical industry and returns are lumpy, current management has been able to grow cash flow at double-digit rates since the turn of the century. The company trades at an incredible 3x multiple of owner earnings.
“It's far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price….when buying companies or common stocks, we look for first-class businesses accompanied by first-class managements.”
- Warren Buffett (Trades, Portfolio) (1989)
