Kenny Robison has a Seeking Alpha post which says Lamar is undervalued by 30%.  We’ll review Robinson’s financial analysis next week.  This sentence in Robinson’s article caught Insider’s eye:

 2.  Make nameplates easy to read.  Insider initially ordered nameplates which said “www.Circlecityoutdoor.com”.  That’s too many letters.  They were too small to read.  The next batch said “Circle City”.  People see the nameplates, look us up on the internet and give us a call.
