He can't pick stocks but he's good at grading math and English homework.

Ha ha. Must feel good to finally be right about something.

72 must be your IQ because there is no way you could be this stupid at 41. A five year old could figure out that the stock was down today in addition to the .32 x-dividend adjustment but it escaped your teeny tiny pea brain.

You will go down as probably the dumbest poster on this or any other board. Congratulations on that honor. Even Dunbar must be smiling right about now.

Omg, you're right. Since I don't actually own this stock I didn't take any time to calculate properly...but you're still an idiot, that will never change. My goal is solely to give you a hard time bwahahaha!

Are you kidding me moron? You don't subtract the two numbers, you ADD the two. The stock closed yesterday at $13.97 and opened today at $13.65 which accounted for the .32 dividend. It finished DOWN another .10 to $13.55.

So, I'll go real slow for you... .32+.10=.42. Take yesterday's close of $13.97 and subtract .42 and you come to today's close of $13.55

You make Dunbar look like Einstein.

Alright, show us your math then. I get CLCT actually being up when you take the Div into account. Down $0.10, div of $0.32, so its actually up $0.22 for the day. Or 1.6%, which is better than the DOWs 0.4%.

Show me I'm wrong, show us your math Euclid.

#$%$

You are an absolute idiot, a total moron.

I'm not talking about the .32 it is down due to the x-dividend, I'm talking about the added amount it is down while the DOW soars to another record high.

You are a perfect example of how our educational system has failed us.

Why don't you look up Dunbar and the two of you can exchange pocket protectors.

Numnuts....

Stock is going ex-div today ... you moron. Simple math, try it.

Sounds like I am in good company.

Sentiment: Strong Buy

peanutbuttercup.. you are actually dumber then Dunbar. Didn't think that was possible but you are...congratulations.

Today's gain was 3.176% [$0.43 gain divided by $13.54 price at the beginning of the day = 3.176%]. That is an Annual % return of 1,1592%, That is correct: One thousand one hundred fifty nine point two per cent return on an annual basis. Beefstu57, that is the simple math we are looking at.

Sentiment: Strong Buy

If you could do simple math you would be able to understand better.

Idiot.

included in last years results was a one time $598K income tax benefit (7.5c/sh) otherwise EPS would have been 23c

cause no one is following the company. Last year's results:

$11.733M rev
31c EPS

496K coins
379K cards

We could probably do 500K coins no problem and with some luck, 400K cards. Prices are up 10%-20%. That would put rev over $13.1M which would be on pace for the second highest revenue qtr ever (last qtr was the record). EPS should be over 20c but it depends how much they sink into China. I willing to put money into China as it will be a great growth engine. Cash flow should cover the dividend and we could slightly add to cash this quarter (maybe $300K).
