Cary, Of the amigo's picks is APCO on top? Or do you folks have other stocks that perform this consistently? Just curious. TIA Ramesh

Hi Cary, IBD shows 7 funds of ownership with an up arrow which means increasing. Also the next quarter estimate shows 7 cents which was the estimate for last quarter. I am guessing that they might be able to top their estimate again. hahaha Thanks again for your valuable posting and keep it up. BTW I seen someone purchased 161,000 shares today, tell me that you didn't buy that block while you should of been working. <smile> Have a good week!! johneb

Cary, you are correct on all accounts regarding APCO. The only factors that you did not mention are the motor home market, the improving margins, the increasing market share and the strong cash position. The motor home market is a new area for APCO. The high season for motor home sales is just starting. The motor home warranty revenues will have a positive impact on future earnings. Increased sales activity has been met with increased efficiency by APCO resulting in continuously improving bottom line numbers. APCO is an infant in the industry having a market share of less than 2% while demonstrating a 30% rev growth rate. Lots of market share for this company to strive for and lots of earnings improvements in the future. APCO has a fairly large cash position. With the Sonic deal and the two new deals announced this week, the cash position will soon be huge. What will be done with this cash? Acquiring another company is not likely as APCO has its own system of doing business. How about a special dividend or a stock buyback program? Sergio
