Seems to have run up against overhead resistance yet again. Needs strong break of $30. Only 67k insider sales past 6 months. Income and balance sheets are positive. Cash flow from ops is but lagging for 2007. Large float, mainly institutional ownership. End of April had 1463 stores, 15 were franchisees. Gotta love their address, One Convenience Boulevard fwiw Been following a similarly structured stock in steak restaurant biz. RARE. Had a big saucer top then a run up lately. #29 Bit more high end than CASY so will track both for signs of which part of consumer cracks first -- the brown bagger or doggy bagger. Enjoy a nice dry summer weekend. Gee another excellent litter trader. Seems to have run up against overhead resistance yet

N6655Y and N165KC respectively. The bonanza hasn't flown in the last 4 months (according to flightaware), but the cheyenne is pretty active.
