Retirements. There will be an increased demand for homeland security products as we move closer to the next general election. If they are able to continue to keep manufacturing costs in check, I believe that they'll profit from world events.

Dividend for life pitch. Appears to be a solid company.

As we start to forget about mines they will appear to be safer thus helping this one out. Plus, the religous based 'family radio' not sure of the actual name, but they mentioned it as a christian friendly company. So I guess with God, oh and that 3 for 1 split a few years ago, it's no surprise that after I sold half my shares at 100% the rest at still up 70%. Down lately but I think it will 'rise' again. Sorry for the religous pun.
