Today it was time for a thirteen months follow-up on my position in WILC. So far it has been a good position in my portfolio, up 46 %. As I will present below, WILC is still a very undervalued position and continues to checks all of my criteria for the net-net checklist. Also, there has been some recent positive developments regarding the company’s capital allocation (see other notes below). To summarize, I’m quite glad that I will continue to hold WILC another thirteen months.
