Thanks for starting this thread. I've got Oriental in my radar now. Looks really good. Downside..
1. Founder no longer around, just like Apple;
2. Past performance no guarantee to future performance, ... although it does give one a good guide as to how good a company is.

Will be stocking up some when the market crashes........ which I expect to be imminent, latest by early 2012.

+1 good point.

I guess if the net asset is high vis a vis the share price, it makes the good value for money; provides potential for share price appreciation; very easy to expand business, get loans, etc, etc... But what you say about immediate value to shareholders (in terms of near term profit) is a valid point. A true bule company pays true blue dividends and not hoard it from its shareholders.
