The Good, the Bad, and the UG(ly)
By M.D. Mitchell
January 10, 2006

An eerie tune "do..do..do..do..do....wah...wah...wahhhh," a bad dude named Angel Eyes, whizzing bullets, the gun-slinging Clint Eastwood, and Sergio Leone's sun-baked cinematography all come together in a glamorous tale of buried loot, savage killing, and Civil War in the Wild West to create one of my all-time favorite movies, " The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly."

Just like in the movie, there are some aspects of a company that are good, some that are bad, and some that are just downright ugly. Rather than focusing on a few stills or a few numbers on a balance sheet, I shall take the approach of sitting back, having some popcorn, and watching a more complete picture unfold.

The stock whose characteristics I will tease out and judge is United-Guardian (AMEX: UG) -- a maker of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, personal and health care products, and specialty industrial products....
