CLCT closed over the $30 mark

StoogeStooge Posts: 4,675 ✭✭✭✭✭

I bought some CLCT (Collectors Universe) stock about 2+yrs ago at a whopping $15.54 a share so I could reap the rewards of the quarterly dividend ($0.35 a share), and it has quietly skyrocketed into the $30+ dollar mark closing today at $30.05.
Kinda wondering now if it'll pass the all time mark of $37.71 on 02/01/00, although it didn't close at that price.

Any thoughts...


Later, Paul.

    I just got my first shares on Monday and I'm happy. I'm not thinking like FTB. I'm bullish on CLCT and have been in the past as well.

    I thought about buying when it was at $14. I did not. Mistake!

    I'm a happy camper since this stock has been a big winner for me.

    There are a ton of stocks that have doubled over the past 30 months. But this does give credence to invest in what you know or are comfortable with. Congrats! Great move

    I hadn't checked lately. Up 50% this year and a 5% yield to boot. Nicely done Stooge.

    A good thing, but hard to figure since the dividend has been causing the company to cannablize it’s cash position for quite some time.

    Anything is possible in this stock market environment with Bitcoin and other crazy hyperbolic stock moves. Is this like 1999 all over again with the dot.com bubble?

    Very nice! Great to hear our hosts hard work is paying off. Pondered buying some a few times, just never smart enough to pull the trigger. Congrats to those who did.

    Bought small a couple of times. Under $10 for a few hundred shares. Have held, and DRIPped, ever since....about 4 years I think.

    Every little bit helps.

    I used to view the dividends as offsetting my yearly membership fee :smiley:

    5 months later and here's your chance at the low $14's again. I will get back in I'm just not sure at what price I'll pull the trigger.

    I should have sold it when it hit the $30 mark. I thought it might go a bit higher though.

    Stay put @Stooge because I believe in this company :)

    Who else better than our host in the market place? If anything I would go with "dollar averaging" continue putting your money in through up & down ;)

    CLCT has been struggling around $14-15 since they drastically reduced their dividend. The P/E at that price is about right. It is going to be a long time before it ever sees $30 again, maybe decades. As they say, buy high sell low and sorry for the bad news. The time to buy individual stocks is in a market crash or for an IPO for a company that can't miss - go against the grain, not when stocks are in a state of rise from irrational exuberance. There is not an established stock I would buy right now given the overpriced market - it is a recipe to lose money. I am waiting for the next crash.

    I am glad I exited at around $28. Lucky timing for me. Without the big dividend, I think the air is out of this stock. Dead money if you buy in now IMO.

    Closed at $21.04 and I got in at $15.54. Thinking of selling.

    Any thoughts...???

    Your choice but remember most pigs end up getting slaughtered. Maybe sell enough to get your money back and ride the wave with the rest.

    What are the fundamentals?

    How are all parts of the company doing ... not just coin slabbing?

    How safe is the current dividend?

    All glory is fleeting.

    I think the underlying business model is not sustainable. I would bail in a heart beat. What do you think the likelihood of increased revenue from submissions will be in the future? There are three possible scenarios:

    1. Hold the line grading wise and watch fewer and fewer coins being submitted as coins finally end up in the "right plastic."
    2. Alter the standards to generate new submissions, create grade inflation, and hurt the brand.
    3. Hold the line but come up with some new feature. This becomes harder and harder. There are only but so many embellishments grading companies can add short of dumping the 70 point scale (which itself might hurt business).

    I don't know how the other subsidiary companies are doing, but I imagine that those companies are built on the same business model as well.

    Corporation.

    Coin side did go up, so it didn’t put a drag in the overall results, but it’s the other faces of the corporation that’s producing, too, if not more so.

    “The revenue increase in the quarter was comprised of a $1.3 million, or 24%, increase in cards and autographs revenues and a $0.9 million, or 10%, increase in US coin revenues. The cards and autographs revenues in the quarter represented a quarterly record for that business. Total coin revenues, which is inclusive of the overseas coin operations, increased by 7%, in the quarter.”

  • grote15grote15 Posts: 29,932 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Pretty steep drop today, nearly 10%.

    Keep in mind that the majority of coin submissions to PCGS and other established TPG's are the endless train of moderns for mostly MS70 and MS69 grades. Anything older from the US, that many of us collect here and where we discuss the current strict grading standards, are now just a very minor part of the buisness model. So if fewer and fewer old coins get submitted, probably won't affect them. And now they are going into world coins harder which seems like a near endless amount of future submissions for the next few decades. There is a whole world out there to tap into after all.

    PS, Consider the looming recession that may start end of this year. Taking a 30 to 40% profit now on CLCT would be not a bad thing. You can always buy it again after the recession when the price, like all other stocks, will be much lower.
