I figured this thread would be wild about the APCO news!
I guess it is.
Kick me please! I'll have to wear that on my back for a week!
Bought APCO 12/27/97 @6 1/2 Sold @7 to buy a penny play.
Bought again @7 and sold @8 3/8 on 2/28 Really meant to buy
back in this a.m. but was trying to get out of that penny.
Now look! Boy do I deserve that!

sergio, I'm willing to do whatever possible. Remember, I'm
trying to heal. <g>

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?

Cary, The chart on PCTH indicates it may be moving into position to go to a new high over $7.00 on relatively high volume. There may be resistance at the $6.75-$7.00 area. Do you have any idea on what to expect? There was a 450,000 share block on Monday.

Cary, I just went to the Yahoo PCTH chat and found this last posting:

"Did anyone listen to the conference call at 4 pm today. The CEO talked about $100 million in revenue next year. He said this will support a stock price of $22. This years revenue will come in around $50-$52 million."
