Martinez Corp. is a medium-sized corporation specializing in quarrying stone for building construction. The company has long dominated the market, at one time achieving a 70% market penetration. During prosperous years, the companys profits, coupled with a conservative dividend policy, resulted in funds available for outside investment. Over the years, Martinez has had a policy of investing idle cash in equity securities. In particular, Martinez has made periodic investments in the companys principal supplier, Norton Industries. Although the firm currently owns 12% of the outstanding common stock of Norton Industries, Martinez does not have significant influence over the operations of Norton Industries.
