Just yesterday, one of those Fools, ScalaAnalyst, succinctly summed up the Orion bull case for our community:
[T]his is an industry that isn't a flash in the pan. It is good business and will continue to operate as long as we continue to ship in oil and goods. It will also support all of the stuff that we ship around the world. ...
It appears this company maybe heading from the red into the black. Management stated that they believe they could rise to a profit of [$0.02/share] in the next quarter and that 2013 should bring in earnings at [$0.10/share]. Let's hope they can continue this trend, I believe it is worth the risk.
If you want market-thumping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Of course, despite a strong four-star rating, Orion may not be your top choice.
