From poverty to private plane

Interesting story in the LA Times today:

Lots of black ink now - Los Angeles Times

Nearly a decade ago, a tiny group of monks in this rural stretch of western Wisconsin realized they might have been too successful at following a vow of poverty.

Today, thanks to LaserMonks Inc., which sells computer printing and office supplies over the Internet -- the abbey is rich.

Inspiring story -- with a little imagination and luck anything can happen.

Technically, the monks take vows of poverty for life. None of what they have, except for their personal possessions, belongs to them, it belongs to the Catholic Church. The tone was a little sensationalistic. However, they do spend the Church's money on interesting things (like a train set).

LaserMonks pulled in about $4 million in sales last fiscal year, and is expected to reach nearly $7 million in 2007.

Sounds like a buying opportunity. What is their ticker?
