STRI Isn't Done Yet

Almost 3 years ago I wrote up STRI with the stock was at $0.18 and a market cap of $3.5M.  It was a net-net with about $15M in cash.  The stock doubled in two years then dropped all the way to $0.07 before recovering to the low teens.  Latest closing price is $0.12.

The story now is much the same.  We have a small company struggling to stay alive and I'm still waiting for the turnaround.  I read every filing with excitement.  "Maybe today is the day" I tell myself.  They closed operations in China.  They are leaving India.  The Malaysian facility was sold.  They started into a new business in Europe while cutting costs to keep the lights on.

I stick around for the potential amongst the carnage.  Three weeks ago they announced the sale of their old Malaysian facility was completed for over twice the market cap.  A $5M per quarter contract was announced which would be a 300% increase!

DIY Investing Podcast

Recently I was interviewed by Trey Henninger on the DIY Investing Podcast.  You can listen to it here.  I had a lot of fun on this one and I am getting more comfortable.  We talked about my investing process, HEMA, DEWY, and a crazy story with CLSI.
