    What you need to know is why it is trading at close to a one year low. (I don't know the answer.)

    The time to buy (obviously) was when HRH said to - at the Aug. '03 Baltimore registry luncheon when CLCT was selling "below melt" at around $3/sh. image

    I hope they reach the threshold required for options to be traded on their stock. Then things would REALLY get wild. image

    What is their "melt" now anyways? image Adrian, you've got more money than God. Can't you buy controlling interest? image

    I'll pass. Too thinly traded for my tastes.

    This stock sure looked like a winner in the spring of 2003 when it was trading for $2 a share. I remember several threads discussing it. Two years later it was at $20. Nice move for those that acted.

    I have been following it closely for the last year or so and have had several profitable roundtrips on the long side (even managed to score the first dividend image ). I am currently long for a trade.

    Well, somebody believes in them to the tune of $36 million in stock sales which was infused last year. But earnings look scarce with them being down 25%.

    Tons of more interesting and less risky investments out there. Look at suburban commercial strip malls, direct or indirect ownership.

    The problem is for stock to go up they have to show reasonably that they can continue to grow revenue. Without branching out into other markets at some point you have to say how many more slabs can they process in one year. They are probably getting close to the max with little room for growth. (i.e. there are only so many collectors and investors of metal) Also there are only so many rare coins to be graded.

    That said, there is a reason the stock is low. When they start to show on paper growth opportunies for the future then the stock will start to go up. It is not enough to make the same amount of money year after year, that is when stock does not budge.
