txvalue Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Had been slowly building a position in this for awhile. Position was not quite full but their largest customer is swooping in to buy the company at quite a premium. Another Walker's manual stock off the board. I would have preferred they didn't sell, but such is life in these smaller stocks. Anyone else holding this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Williams406 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I looked at it a couple of years ago and again recently...just pulled my thumb out of my mouth to call myself some names. Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrholty Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I owned a few shares but I could never get a position and I grew frustrated and gave up/got distracted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Free Cash Flow Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I own a few shares. Wish I had more. Interestingly, there are at least two more "Walker's-style" cement producers still trading. At 11x EBITDA, Monarch Cement Co. shares would trade at $125+, more than twice the last trade.

bskptkl Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Where do you find financials for this company? You had to own a share of ASHG and contact company for financials. MCEM however still posts financials after going dark http://www.monarchcement.com/sec/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txvalue Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 After looking around two of my old Walker's manuals I'm guessing the other stock that was unmentioned is Boston Sand & Gravel. They are have several businesses and a small railroad as well, interesting company. Radio, if you are open to sharing is that correct or is there another one lurking out there?

writser Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I bought some shares around year-end.
