RAD's sudden jump up the last week of February was the result of a Jim Cramer mention. JC thinks this is a great turn around play. I have held this one so long, in a long forgotten broker account, that I'm embarrassed to admit it. Nevertheless have been reading results, monitoring and shopping in RAD for several years now. Mary Sammons has done a great job of turning RAD into a mini grocery store and has improved the merchandise of the discount floor space as well. However the real money in this business is selling those expensive drugs and RAD has a long way to go to build its 'script' revenues and end up with spectacular YOY gains. I think RAD made a bad decision years ago when it decided to work its way out of the debt left by the convicted founder & cronies. RAD should have taken bankruptcy. If they had, RAD would have emerged by now, been debt free and able to borrow to build and expand. As it stands now, the debt is a burden, debt is being reduced only slowly, RAD can't get same store sales to increase at levels of its peers, scripts are off and while RAD is profitable it has little cash for expansion and plenty of restrictions on borrowing.

G'morning dabum3/H3...dabum3 any comment on the jude's/Moggy's .15 limit on Scottrade Stop orders. They turn to market orders when that limit is hit. Is that common? I have used Scottrade since 2000. RAD has showed up on my radar as a possible play several times over the years. It did not make the cut. IMO, This time there is a change of character. Strong positive Volume the last 6 months supporting price. In addition there are VERY distinctive Positive Money Stream AND TSV Divergences on a 3 day chart. This combination on a 3 Day has been darn profitable for me. I like the IT - LTerm implications. My focus looking at a trade is NOT as intense on the short term. Except for Stops. I am putting RAD on a new watchlist on my Scottrader titled Set Ups. I have all my quarters in the air. No dry powder. All I can do is wait, and whistle my theme song. All in and Relaxed? It's something new. This is the 3rd time I've been "all in" since Oct 05. I might be TOO relaxed. Those stops are some good medicine. I still have not turned the ticker on this AM.
