Does anyone know what "market saturation" is?
I'm somewhat gratified by the several comments about the strength of =
CSTR's chart, because my own algorithm had rated it top of about 50 CwH =
patterns yesterday. It would have been better with less volatility and =
less volume in the handle, but no stock's perfect.

Hi Mike,
Technically, this chart is about as good as it gets in a market =
like this--A
handle 8/1 to 8/14, breakout 8/15 on volume, an orderly pullback =
to the
pivot since then. I'd be hard pressed to fault the technicals =
unless you
want to argue the somewhat light volume on the right side of the =
cup, which
I won't, because it's insignificant in my mind.
There are a couple of things that kept me away from CSTR---high =
debt load
(though they've been restructuring debt recently, so they stay in =
my sights
in the meantime) and low ROE of 5% (primarily because they only =
turned EPS
positive in the last 4 quarters). Given the market is on shaky =
ground, I'd
rather sit back and watch the behavior of the stock than to dive
in....preferring to stalk the trade on other stocks which are =
fundamentally
stronger, but not yet finished with their bases. I also like to =
sit back and
watch most of the early stocks out of the gate after a =
follow-through and
see how they're acting, CSTR included.
I've often scratched my head at the business model.....seemed =
crazy that you
would *pay* to count your change and be happy to receive some =
crisp dollar
bills and a few store coupons for the "privilege." But I =
understand they're
appealing to a part of the population that is primarily cash-based =
and not
to those of us who've forgotten what it looks like and instead use =
our ATM
card for everything. Recently, however, I've had a greater =
appreciation for
their "service" as my bank has stopped waiving their coin counting =
fees
after doing so for, well, forever.... We've always kept a "change =
can" and
dumped our change each day. When it's full, it's about $200....I'd =
make my
ritual trek to the bank to have them count it out, then that =
evening we
would go out for a pricey dinner, something we rarely do. Now that =
they're
charging, however, the CSTR kiosks become an alternative. =
Personally, I'm
too cheap to pay *anybody* to count my money for me, so I won't be =
using the
bank *or* CSTR...but I'll bet you there are many folks who would =
consider
it. The blurb I saw on the OffWallStreet report mentioned =
something about
"saturation." Though I haven't seen the report and know nothing =
more than
this, I have only one thought when I hear something like that in =
the same
breath as CSTR----Starbucks.

| Dear Mike

quickly -
| and yes much to our chagrin - some stocks came roaring back - =
but in
| other cases the stock kept declining. Throw out your ego - sell =
- - and
