hey jim :o)
dude ... first things first ... THQI ... Rugrat regards man, yeah!!!
i happened upon psta at about $4.75 when looking at charts. the pattern i was looking at has held up really well so far, and since it was a real long-term look, i feel pretty confident about the trend at this point.
i can't say i've figured out a means of measuring their business ala a thqi, where it is still difficult but possible to count units as they leave store shelves. i need to verify, but i believe psta sells at costco stores. if so, it might be useful to make a visit to see the product, as well get a feel for presence, and things like that.
the answer most likely is only to be found in the dark secret underworld of the pasta mafia, locked in a vault, wedged between the mozarella and romano cheese sales figures. i'm not one to mess with cousin vido, cousin vinny, or any cousin for that matter, i might not be doing no channel checks, you know? :o)
as i look around, i'll post to the thread. tell all fellow thqi'ers hello for me, and big fat congrats!!!
