Guys: offered for your consideration: Sturm,Ruger & CO,Inc: Net firearms sales FY 2000 $166.415 Million, FY 2004 $ 124.924 Million. Net castings Sales: FY 2000 -$36.239 Million,FY 2004--$20.700 Million. Consolidated GROSS profit FY 2000---$58.151 MIllion,FY 2004--$ 29.033 Million.If every dollar of castings sales were gross profit,there were still $ 8.3 million in gross coming from firearms sales Earning per share trends even more ominous..$1.00 in 2000, $0.16 in 2004.. Dividend eliminated 4th Q .. looks like an "ultimate contrarian" Investment ,& for less than $700 you can own 100 s.and join less than 2000 other registered shareholders.. let management know everything they should be doing !!! Remember when trends for the 'pure" oil refiners look this bad,and what an opportunity it was !! fwiw,Onceabull
