			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;ve all heard it said that small caps are inherently risky investments, and there&#8217;s some truth to that, but don&#8217;t overplay it.</p>
<p><strong>The case for small caps</strong><br />
Long-term academic research suggests small caps outperform large caps, and when you include small caps in a portfolio, it serves to increase returns of the total portfolio. What&#8217;s more, there is a lower correlation between small caps and large caps that can actually lower your total risk.</p>
<p>&#8220;That small caps are risky is, to me, an urban legend,&#8221; said Ken Farsalas, Director of US Equities and Co-Portfolio Manager of the Oberweis Small-Cap Opportunities Fund. &#8220;There were far more risky blue chip stocks in 2008 than small cap stocks in the same year. Maybe 90% of investors would have told you AIG and Citi were less risky than Chipotle and lululemon at that time &#8212; they would be wrong.&#8221;</p>
<p>As for the market, Farsalas is optimistic. &#8220;When people start losing money in bond funds they&#8217;re going to flip flop hundreds of billions of dollars into equities over the next 2-3 years, providing more fuel for the bull market run.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Turn to the pros</strong><br />
Oberweis Small-Cap Opportunities Fund specializes in building competitive portfolios made up of companies with market caps between $250 million and $3 billion. &#8220;We look at small-cap companies with a bottom-up approach, and our expectations differ from consensus expectations,&#8221; Farsalas told Kapitall. &#8220;We look for companies with a sustainable and competitive position, and potential for upward revisions in the future.&#8221;</p>
<p>He believes the tech industry, while cyclical in the short term, is a good place to start because all the &#8220;next-big-things&#8221; are coming from this market.</p>
<p>&#8220;The next biggest thing is sure to be ubiquitous conductivity,&#8221; continues Farsalas. This is when a single device controls everything from your email to your refrigerator, as exemplified by the iPhone and iPad. Video on demand will also see heavier demand.</p>
<p><strong>Company specific</strong><br />
Farsalas discussed three companies that show promise of big gains:</p>
<p>First, The Fresh Market (Nasdaq: TFM ) , something like a mini-Whole Foods that serves regional pockets and is trying to go national. Its business model reflects Whole Foods&#8217; in its early years, and the company plays on the nation&#8217;s increasing desire to eat more natural and organic foods. The recent &#8220;pink slime&#8221; controversy can&#8217;t hurt either.</p>
<p>Second, Select Comfort (Nasdaq: SCSS ) , which is one of Oberweis&#8217;s top holdings. The company makes the sleep number beds and was near bankruptcy not too long ago. But by closing underperforming stores, paying off debts and improving its balance sheet, and refocusing its market strategy, the small firm has come a long way, already growing 164.8% in the last year.</p>
<p>&#8220;The improving housing market and employment numbers should bolster sales because more people are feeling better about their financial situation.&#8221; The Street puts forward earnings at $1.30/share, but Oberweis expects $1.45/share.</p>
<p>Lastly, Farsalas is excited about Acacia Research Corporation (Nasdaq: ACTG ) . This company licenses and enforces patented technologies and it is the clear leader in its field. It has acquired rights to over 200 patent portfolios, including those related to 3G and 4G networks, wireless video streaming, and semiconductor techs.</p>
<p>&#8220;Because of scale, tech companies are going straight to them &#8230; Acacia has signed very large comprehensive patent license for big companies like Oracle and Microsoft and others may be coming in the future that we think will include Apple, Google and HTC.&#8221; The Street puts ACTG&#8217;s forward earnings at $1.80/share, but Oberweis expects $2.50/share.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Business section: Investing ideas</strong><br />
Looking for other small-cap winners? Here is a list of small-cap companies (market cap between $250 million and $3 billion) that have consistently &#8216;surprised&#8217; analyst earnings estimates over the last four quarters. Do you think that these stocks will continue to outperform?</p>
<p>Below that, we created another list of small-cap companies. This time we screened for net insider buying in the past six months, institutional buying in the current quarter, and short covering month-over-month. Three groups of sophisticated investors feel bullish about these four companies. Do you agree with their optimism?</p>
<p>1. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Carter&#8217;s</strong></span>: Designs, sources, and markets branded children&#8217;s wear. Market cap of $2.93B. In March 2011: Reported EPS at 0.55 vs. estimate at 0.5 (surprise of 10%). In June 2011: Reported EPS at 0.23 vs. estimate at 0.13 (surprise of 76.9%). In Sept. 2011: Reported EPS at 0.67 vs. estimate at 0.59 (surprise of 13.6%). In Dec. 2011: Reported 0.63 vs. estimate at 0.44 (surprise of 43.2%. [Average earnings surprise at 35.92%]. The stock has gained 73.84% over the last year</p>
<p>2. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>World Fuel Services (NYSE: INT )</strong></span> : Engages in the marketing and sale of marine, aviation, and land fuel products and related services worldwide. Market cap of $2.92B. In March 2011: Reported EPS at 0.58 vs. estimate at 0.54 (surprise of 7.4%). In June 2011: Reported EPS at 0.7 vs. estimate at 0.58 (surprise of 20.7%). In Sept. 2011: Reported EPS at 0.74 vs. estimate at 0.66 (surprise of 12.1%). In Dec. 2011: Reported 0.7 vs. estimate at 0.69 (surprise of 1.4%. [Average earnings surprise at 10.4%]. The stock has gained 1.36% over the last year</p>
<p>3. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Signature Bank</strong></span>: Provides business and personal banking products and services in the New York metropolitan area. Market cap of $2.90B. In March 2011: Reported EPS at 0.82 vs. estimate at 0.72 (surprise of 13.9%). In June 2011: Reported EPS at 0.87 vs. estimate at 0.78 (surprise of 11.5%). In Sept. 2011: Reported EPS at 0.83 vs. estimate at 0.8 (surprise of 3.7%). In Dec. 2011: Reported 0.85 vs. estimate at 0.84 (surprise of 1.2%. [Average earnings surprise at 7.58%]. The stock has gained 11.77% over the last year.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a list of small-caps with net insider buying in the past six months, institutional buying in the current quarter, and short covering month-over-month.</p>
<p>1. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Susser Holdings</strong></span>: Operates convenience stores and distributes motor fuels in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. Net insider shares purchased over the last six months at 51.50K, which is 0.36% of the company&#8217;s 14.40M share float. Net institutional purchases in the current quarter at 3.3M shares, which represents about 22.92% of the company&#8217;s float of 14.40M shares. Diluted TTM earnings per share at 2.68, and a MRQ book value per share value at 16.23, implies a Graham Number fair value = sqrt(22.5*2.68*16.23) = $31.28. Based on the stock&#8217;s price at $25.68, this implies a potential upside of 21.82% from current levels.</p>
<p>2. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>NL Industries</strong></span>: Operates in the component products industry in the United States, Canada, and Taiwan. Net insider shares purchased over the last six months at 112.17K, which is 1.71% of the company&#8217;s 6.55M share float. Net institutional purchases in the current quarter at 377.4K shares, which represents about 5.76% of the company&#8217;s float of 6.55M shares. Diluted TTM earnings per share at 1.68, and a MRQ book value per share value at 8.53, implies a Graham Number fair value = sqrt(22.5*1.68*8.53) = $17.96. Based on the stock&#8217;s price at $14.79, this implies a potential upside of 21.41% from current levels.</p>
<p>3. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Kraton Performance Polymers (NYSE: KRA )</strong></span> : Through its subsidiary, Kraton Polymers LLC, produces styrenic block copolymers (SBC) for use in industrial and consumer applications worldwide. Net insider shares purchased over the last six months at 957.10K, which is 3.51% of the company&#8217;s 27.23M share float. Net institutional purchases in the current quarter at 949.6K shares, which represents about 3.49% of the company&#8217;s float of 27.23M shares. Diluted TTM earnings per share at 2.81, and a MRQ book value per share value at 16.14, implies a Graham Number fair value = sqrt(22.5*2.81*16.14) = $31.94. Based on the stock&#8217;s price at $27.23, this implies a potential upside of 17.31% from current levels.</p>
<p>4. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Cumulus Media</strong></span>: Engages in the acquisition, operation, and development of commercial radio stations in the United States. Net insider shares purchased over the last six months at 8.55M, which is 14.88% of the company&#8217;s 57.46M share float. Net institutional purchases in the current quarter at 10.5M shares, which represents about 18.27% of the company&#8217;s float of 57.46M shares. Diluted TTM earnings per share at 0.46, and a MRQ book value per share value at 1.94, implies a Graham Number fair value = sqrt(22.5*0.46*1.94) = $4.48. Based on the stock&#8217;s price at $3.62, this implies a potential upside of 23.78% from current levels.</p>

(OTCQB: AFBG) (PINKSHEETS: AFBG) today announced that the company will report its first substantial revenue from its proprietary fiberglass recycling division, Amour Fiber Core, Inc.<br />
<img class="alignright" style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-width: 0px; margin: 10px;" title="AFBG Chart" src="http://chart.financialcontent.com/Chart?width=300&amp;height=200&amp;vucolor=008000&amp;bvcolor=FFFFFF&amp;gmcolor=DDDDDD&amp;gtcolor=034486&amp;bgcolor=null&amp;fillshy=-2&amp;Client=stocks&amp;gbcolor=FFFFFF&amp;brcolor=999999&amp;pvcolor=B50000&amp;ibcolor=null&amp;vdcolor=FF0000&amp;volume=0&amp;fillshx=2&amp;fillalpha=50&amp;interval=1&amp;height=140&amp;params=width%3D300%26height%3D140%26shwidth%3D0%26interval%3D1%26vucolor%3D008000%26bvcolor%3DFFFFFF%26gmcolor%3DDDDDDD%26gtcolor%3D034486%26bgcolor%3Dnull%26fillshy%3D-2%26gbcolor%3DFFFFFF%26brcolor%3D999999%26pvcolor%3DB50000%26ibcolor%3Dnull%26vdcolor%3DFF0000%26volume%3D0%26fillshx%3D2%26lncolor%3D666666%26arcolor%3Dnull%26txcolor%3D444444%26itcolor%3D666666%26grcolor%3DDDDDDD%26type%3D0%26shcolor%3DBBBBBB%26%26fillalpha%3D50&amp;lncolor=666666&amp;arcolor=null&amp;txcolor=444444&amp;itcolor=666666&amp;grcolor=DDDDDD&amp;type=0&amp;shcolor=BBBBBB&amp;shwidth=0&amp;ticker=AFBG" alt="AFBG Chart" width="300" height="200" />AFBG President, Daniel L. Hefner, noted that the 10K due to be filed at month&#8217;s end will report the first revenue from the multi-billion dollar wind energy industry. Fiberglass disposal generates millions of dollars in tipping fees annually, according to Hefner.</p>
<p>Hefner stated, &#8220;We have spent a number of years preparing for the day that we could implement our plan of recycling fiberglass. The fourth quarter of 2011 was the right time to launch because of the needs expressed by leaders of the wind energy industry, to find an alternative to placing the damaged wind blades in landfills. According to industry professionals, these massive fiberglass components will not degrade for thousands of years if left intact. We are excited about our role in mitigating this issue and generating operating revenue.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to AFBG Chairman Kenneth McCleave, the company has been responsible for blade extraction in Minnesota, Montana and Texas and will be expanding its operations across the country to meet the hundreds of requests for implementation of the fiberglass recycling process patented by William Amour.</p>
<p>McCleave stated, &#8220;Now that we have opened the door, we are being inundated with calls and emails from around the country for the company to come to the aid of manufacturers nationwide who desire to prevent fiberglass from going to landfills. Our patented process will allow us to make useful, quality products from the fiberglass stream. Revenue is expected to grow dramatically as we expand to meet these needs.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The US is set to file a case against China at the World Trade Organization challenging its restrictions on rare earth exports.</p>
<p>The European Union and Japan are expected to support the US in its case.</p>
<p>Beijing has set quotas for rare earth exports, many of which are critical to the manufacture of high-tech products.</p>
<p>The US argues that by limiting exports China, the world&#8217;s largest rare earth producer, has pushed up prices.</p>
<p>China produces more than 95% of the world&#8217;s rare earth metals, and any restriction on exports from Beijing is likely to have a bearing on global prices.</p>
<p>There have also been concerns that Beijing has implemented these quotas in a bid to ensure that prices of these elements remain low within China, a move that critics say gives its manufacturers an unfair advantage.</p>
<p>However, China has denied these allegations, saying that it had enforced these quotas to ensure there was no environmental damage caused due to excessive mining.</p>
<p>One can&#8217;t help but wonder if this isn&#8217;t a case of the United States shooting itself in the foot, so to speak, by killing rare earth production years ago.</p>
<p>While there was the obvious play during last year&#8217;s news hype and associated price movement, I don&#8217;t see long-term viability here, as there are numerous other countries with rare earth reserves and the unfortunate willingness to exchange environmental purity for dollars, euros or yen if the price is right.</p>
<p>That said, where do you think the rare earth situation is headed?  Are you getting involved or simply watching from the sidelines, and what companies (if any) do you like?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>BioScrip, Inc. (<span style="color: #008000;"><strong>BIOS</strong></span>) today announced 2011 fourth quarter and year-end financial results. Fourth quarter revenue was $483.3 million and net income was $6.7 million, or $0.12 per share. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter was $19.8 million. For the year ended December 31, 2011, revenue was $1.8 billion and net income was $7.9 million, or $0.14 per share. Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $73.5 million.</p>
<div style="width: 521px; padding:20px; border: 1px solid #333; background:#efefef; margin-top:15px;">
<script src="http://markets.financialcontent.com/stocks?Module=stockquote2&#038;Ticker=BIOS&#038;Output=JS"></script></div>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Fourth Quarter Highlights</strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Revenue increased $32.9 million or 7.3% compared to prior year;</li>
<li style="margin-top: 5px;">Gross profit was $81.8 million or 16.9% of revenue, compared to $72.6 million or 16.1% of revenue in the prior year;</li>
<li style="margin-top: 5px;">Adjusted EBITDA generated by the segments before allocation of corporate expenses was $27.2 million, compared to $21.4 million last year;</li>
<li style="margin-top: 5px;">Adjusted EBITDA was $19.8 million, compared to $10.0 million in the prior year;</li>
<li style="margin-top: 5px;">Net income was $6.7 million or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to prior year net loss of $67.1 million or $1.25 per share.</li>
</ul>
<p>&#8220;We are pleased with our fourth quarter results driven by solid organic growth and significant momentum in our key businesses. Infusion revenue was strong on both a sequential and year-over-year basis driven by the depth of our managed care contracts, growing patient census, and the focused and productive efforts of our sales team and regional management who continue to focus on our targeted therapies,&#8221; said Rick Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioScrip.</p>
<p>&#8220;With the pending sale of our community specialty pharmacies and centralized specialty and mail service pharmacy businesses, we are positioning BioScrip as a leaner company focused on those areas where we have key strengths, in-market awareness and offer distinct competitive advantages. This includes leveraging our geographic reach, building upon our reputation for clinical excellence, deepening our relationships with national and local managed care customers and strategically expanding our national infusion service footprint both organically and through tuck-in acquisitions. As we move through 2012, we will continue to take action to further rationalize corporate overhead, improve operating performance and profitability, and maximize overall operating cash flow generation,&#8221; concluded Smith.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Results of Operations</span></strong><br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"> Fourth Quarter 2011 versus Fourth Quarter 2010</span></p>
<p>Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2011 totaled $483.3 million, compared to $450.4 million for the same period a year ago, an increase of $32.9 million or 7.3%. Infusion/Home Health Services revenue for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $121.6 million compared to $112.6 million in the prior year, an increase of $9.1 million or 8.0%. Pharmacy Services revenue for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $361.7 million, compared to $337.8 million for the prior year period, an increase of $23.9 million or 7.1%.</p>
<p>Consolidated gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $81.8 million, or 16.9% of revenue, compared to $72.6 million, or 16.1% of revenue, for the fourth quarter of 2010.</p>
<p>Fourth quarter 2011 operating income was $14.6 million, compared to an operating loss of $3.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2010.</p>
<p>During the fourth quarter of 2011, BioScrip generated $27.2 million of segment Adjusted EBITDA, or 5.6% of total revenue, compared to $21.4 million, or 4.7% of total revenue in the prior year. The Infusion/Home Health segment generated $12.3 million of Adjusted EBITDA, or 10.1% of segment revenue. This compares to $11.8 million, or 10.4% of segment revenue in the prior year. The Pharmacy Services segment generated $14.9 million of segment Adjusted EBITDA, or 4.1% of segment revenue. This compares to $9.6 million, or 2.8% of segment revenue in the prior year.</p>
<p>On a consolidated basis, BioScrip reported $19.8 million of Adjusted EBITDA during the fourth quarter of 2011, or 4.1% of total revenue, compared to $10.0 million, or 2.2% of total revenue, in the prior year.</p>
<p>Interest expense in the fourth quarter of 2011 was $6.8 million, compared to $8.1 million in the prior year.</p>
<p>Net income for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $6.7 million, or $0.12 per share, compared to a net loss of $67.1 million, or $1.25 per share, in the prior year.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Full Year 2011 versus Full Year 2010</strong></span></p>
<p>Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2011, was $1.8 billion compared to $1.6 billion for the comparable prior year period. Infusion/Home Health Services segment revenue for the year ended December 31, 2011, was $451.0 million, compared to $377.2 million for the prior year, an increase of $73.8 million, or 19.6%. This increase was largely a result of incremental revenue from the Critical Homecare Solutions, Inc. (&#8220;CHS&#8221;) business, which was acquired March 25, 2010. Excluding the incremental first quarter revenue associated with the acquired CHS business, BioScrip&#8217;s Infusion/Home Health Services segment revenue increased $10.5 million, or 2.8% over the prior year as a result of overall volume growth.</p>
<p>Pharmacy Services segment revenue for the year ended December 31, 2011, was $1.4 billion compared to revenue of $1.3 billion for the prior year period, an increase of $105.6 million, or 8.4%. Pharmacy Services revenue increased due to volume from new managed care contracts, growth in the oncology, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis therapies, industry-wide drug inflation and an increase in discount cash card programs sales.</p>
<p>Consolidated gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2011, was $312.3 million compared to $260.4 million for the same period a year ago, an increase of $51.9 million, or 19.9%. Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased to 17.2%, compared to 15.9% for the same period in 2010. The increase in gross profit and in gross profit as a percentage from 2010 to 2011 was primarily the result of the acquisition of CHS, which favorably impacted gross margin rates, and growth in discount cash card program volumes.</p>
<p>For the year ended December 31, 2011, BioScrip generated $103.4 million of segment Adjusted EBITDA, or 5.7% of total revenue, compared to $84.2 million, or 5.1% of total revenue, for the prior year period. The Infusion/Home Health segment generated $45.4 million of segment Adjusted EBITDA, or 10.1% of segment revenue, compared to $43.5 million, or 11.5% of segment revenue, in the prior year. The Pharmacy Services segment generated $58.0 million of segment Adjusted EBITDA, or 4.2% of segment revenue, compared to $40.7 million, or 3.2% of segment revenue, in the prior period.</p>
<p>On a consolidated basis, BioScrip reported $73.5 million of Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2011, or 4.0% of total revenue, compared to $49.2 million, or 3.0% of total revenue, in the prior year.</p>
<p>Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2011, was $28.3 million, compared to $27.6 million for the same period in 2010. The increase in interest expense was related to a full year of interest on the debt instruments primarily used to finance the CHS acquisition.</p>
<p>Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2011, was $1.3 million on a pre-tax net income of $9.2 million and consisted primarily of state income taxes and a deferred tax provision associated with tax deductible goodwill. Our income tax expense was $47.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, on a pre-tax net loss of $21.4 million. Income tax expense in 2010 includes the establishment of a $54.0 million valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets.</p>
<p>Net income for the year ended December 31, 2011, was $7.9 million, or $0.14 per share. This compares to a net loss of $69.1 million, or $1.37 per share for the same period in 2010.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Liquidity and Capital Resources</span></strong></p>
<p>For the year ended December 31, 2011, BioScrip generated $27.0 million in net cash from operating activities compared to $21.4 million used in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $48.4 million. This was due to a decrease in working capital requirements of $23.1 million and an increase of $25.3 million in net income adjusted for non-cash items, primarily such as depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes and in 2010 the loss on early extinguishment of debt.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Conference Call</span></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You have to hand to the management at Save the World Air Inc (OTC:ZERO) for its recent accomplishments which I’m guessing took a lot of hard work to realize. Shares of ZERO were trading in the $0.30 range on Feb 10 and are currently trading in the $0.43 range; a gain of 43% in less than a month.</p>
<p>What Happened?</p>
<p>Save the World Air is coming into its own at the right time; which is essential to success. ZERO’s patented technology allows oil and gas pipeline operators to temporarily reduce the viscosity of the crude oil within their pipeline(s) to reduce the fluid-drag (also known as friction-loss) between the fluid and the pipeline.</p>
<p>By reducing the friction loss, pipeline operators&#8217; pump systems require less energy to maintain a constant flow rate, thereby directly reducing daily operation costs. The Company&#8217;s intellectual property portfolio includes 24 domestic and international patents and patents pending, which have been developed in conjunction with and exclusively licensed from Temple University.</p>
<p>The Company’s ELEKTRA technology improves diesel engine efficiency for industrial diesel engines, as well as diesel-powered trucks, trains, marine vessels, military fleets and jet turbines.</p>
<p>But Back to Pipelines…</p>
<p>In late Feb Save the World Air signed a new five-year operating agreement with the United States Department of Energy&#8217;s Rocky Mountain Oilfield Testing Center. This five-year agreement extends through the end of 2016.</p>
<p>In 2011, together with the United Stated Department of Energy&#8217;s Rocky Mountain Oilfield Testing Center, ZERO designed and retrofitted a purpose-built 4.5 mile underground oil pipeline testing facility in order to test the Company&#8217;s Applied Oil Technology (AOT) under simulated real-world conditions. The Company&#8217;s AOT technology yielded pipeline operational efficiency improvements of over 13%.</p>
<p>The purpose of the new operating agreement is to continue field testing to confirm the Company&#8217;s technology&#8217;s effectiveness in improving oil pipeline operational efficiencies. &#8220;By continuing our collaboration with the United States Department of Energy and field testing our technologies at the Rocky Mountain Oilfield Testing Center, we validate the effectiveness of our technology for the key decision makers in both industry and government,&#8221; stated ZERO Chairman and CEO, Cecil Bond Kyte.</p>
<p>Today the Company announced it had signed a Letter of Intent with LG Partners, LLC, to incorporate ZERO’s AOT oil pipeline efficiency technology into the design and construction of a proposed new non-domestic, multi-national, 900-mile pipeline currently in the planning stage.</p>
<p>LG Partners is currently developing the $2.5 billion, 900-mile pipeline to transport medium and heavy crude oil to markets currently experiencing a lack of diverse pipeline suppliers. This multinational pipeline is designed to be 42&#8243; in diameter, with a transport capacity of 30 to 60 million tons of crude oil per year, or approximately 600,000 to 1.2 million barrels per day.</p>
<p>Improved flow efficiency above 13% certainly has its fans when it comes to saving millions in operating costs. Apparently the folks at ZERO are doing everything right. Good for long-term shareholders who’ve benefitted from management’s hard work.</p>
