Subject: NWL a value trap
I like NWL’s brands (Sharpie, Elmer's glue, Rubbermaid, etc.), so I’ve been following the stock for years, but I don’t own any. Ever since they bought Jarden in 2016, it’s been a disaster. $16 billion company now worth $6 billion. The company is solvent, but all cash flow is going to pay off debt. It will take 10 years to pay it off. I don’t know if either of us will be around by then lol.

ROE is dropping. Tariffs are killing them. Can’t own it; can’t short it. Anyone else following?
