    Its been a year or so .. I am holding the shares of forbes company .. The stock did manage to go to 750 and again back to 630 odd levels .. What are your targets for the stock...
    The stock hasn't doubled like so many other stocks in a year .. This stock is up only 20-30% form the lows .
    I have made an investment in the stock from 2-3 years view ..
    Shipping and water purifying business will grow gradually and the business does have a future ...
