In the background is the chance to their partner in the manufactured home financing (triad) could do a take over of ecN (not a sufficient reason the buy on its own but another positive possibliity). And combining a good chance for lower interest rates which I believe would help ecN makes me want to add to my small position in ecN. What is you read on the earnings and do you concur that it is time to add to a ecN position?

Q: I would appreciate your comments on TREX earnings; released yesterday. It appeared to me that metrics are generally improving, yet the stock dropped $15 at today’s open.

My main interest is understanding if there is some structural/metric issue causing the drop, or is it more related to their statement on outlook for the next 1/2 of the year?

Thanks as always,

Dave
