| DON'T BUY | 32.740 | Robert Floyd | Have done a good job of turning around. Always wonders about competition in these sectors. Fully valued. | 2006-12-01 | |
| | |
| WATCH | 27.780 | David Baskin | This is an interesting company. It sells car seats and baby chairs. It has had a disappointing last few years. Recommends looking at it after it has had 2 good quarters. | 2006-09-28 | |
| | |
| HOLD | 29.340 | David Baskin | Has been an enormous disappointment. A year ago they looked like they were well on their way, but since then everything has gone wrong. Profit warnings because of material costs, compressed margins. Still a believer. Trades at a very low price to earnings multiple and possibly they've put the worst behind them. | 2005-10-24 | |
| | |
| HOLD | 43.000 | Pierre Bernard | Not an expensive stock for the power of earnings they have. Have been pretty pro-active in using planned capacity in China to make sure they have the optimal cost structure. A good long term hold. | 2005-05-31 | |

| WEAK BUY | 41.750 | David Driscoll | The drop in the stock is probably due to people taking profits. In the right sector. Biggest customer is Wal Mart. Doesn't like the dual class structure in stocks. | 2004-12-08 | |
