guess I found the next stock I'm going short: this company has swindled me

They told me a check bounced.. so I sent them the amount PLUS $25.00 in the form of a money order.

They cashed it... my financial institution today just confirmed that the original check was also cashed by them.

I PAID TWICE!!! I am going to charge them an extra $25.00 now for screwing me over. I make a mistake they charge me.. they make a mistake.. I charge them.

However, based on previous experience with Equifax via retail system... I'll be lucky to get my money at all without having to get a lawyer.

jim

ps.. BE VERY CAREFUL BUYING THIS STOCK :(

Stock looks pretty attractive here to me. Starting a small position.

Basing my purchase on current stock price in relation to my understanding of the company's past performance record plus a bet that revenues, earnings and dividends can continue to increase in future years.

I see the company as having financial information on millions of people - information not easily obtained elsewhere. And a continuing demand by companies and people to access that information for credit decisions and perhaps other reasons. If so, then the company is almost a Warren Buffett type stock- a company having recurring sales with high returns on capital employed and in a business having a high barrier to entry. Anybody else see it that way?
