CFIM is basically starting out as a brand new company after coming out of Ch. 11 earlier in the year. They are up to date on their filings and are trying to branch out into new businesses through acquisitions. The stock is fairly risky at the current time if the acquisitions don't pan out. I believe that they will however and when confirmed, the stock should do very well. Much depends on consumation of the deal below:
