This is a terrific article. However, I would like to hear more about their acquisition strategy including details of specific acquisitions and the impact on the company. For example, in March of 2006 the company acquired Vector Products, but it is unclear if this acquisition will provide the sort of value the company is expecting. Additionally, given the situation with regard to the housing situation, their business franchise will likely suffer through stagnant growth.
