This is a continuation of my search for the best small companies from the 200 listed in Forbes 2008.
You can refer to the previous results here: 1-15 | 16-32 | 33-70 | 71-130 | 131-160 | 161-200

I had forgotten about LOJN. Thanks for the reminder.
Since I haven’t been able to analyse it, my opinions would be quite hopeless. So instead here is a pdf of my spreadsheet which displays numbers that look very good. Even with a 0% growth in cash, LOJN is very cheap from a numbers point of view.
