The weakness on Tuesday morning was simply a follow-through from Friday's sell-off. I bought some more CCSC at $22.125 on Tuesday morning. The earnings report looks excellent and the company continues to earn a tremendous return on equity (46% run rate). Although it is good to see CCSC beat estimates by 12%, the difference was due almost entirely to the lower tax rate. Still, gross margins increased and costs were well controlled. 1998 should still be an excellent year for CCSC, and I reiterate my year-end price target of $40, while raising my EPS estimate to $1.25 from $1.20. The stock is trading at a 40% discount to its anticipated growth rate, and it looks like a great buy at current prices. Todd
