Darling International, Inc. (DAR)

Good business model, takes all the trash that no one wants, will clean and collect it, then turn it into something useable. Great in terms of the emphasis on green industry that will be going on throughout the new administration. We all know fast food and restaurants will never go out of style. Only 2% insider and huge 95% instutitional ownership has me a little concerned, as I'm a huge fan of insider ownership and don't like the price flux that institutions cause as a result of their fund rules/guidelines. Lots of insider selling last year, but lots of acquisition so far in 2009, however, non open market. Revenue and NI growing well, and SG&A being kept under control, hopefully they can keep that trend going. 1st 2 quarters of 09 have trended way down, as to be expected as restaurants slow and try to cut costs, they don't need to be cleaned as often and will try and strech an extra month or 2 out of their equipment. Decent cash on hand compared to debt load, but they burned a lot last quarter and need to get a handle on it. I think overall their prospects are good, need to focus on getting cleaning contracts from national chains to help with a steady flow of income.
