I'm still trying to figure out why this is a one star CAP. The P/E is nice and high, the debt is non-existant, the price is affordable, there is a decent dividend, the growth is only going to continue! People use cards for EVERY holiday and occasion. Why in the world wouldn't this stock continue to grow?

Gift cards will always be here. And they dominate that business. Like Warren Buffet says, "Buy what you know."

Very attractive price in down economy makes gift cards a better present than durable goods.

Great quarter and recent licensing of South Park characters adds up to a winner.

Long term trends are putrid - future is looking even worse, no amount of share buybacks can cover that up. Extended comments here: http://www.fool.com/news/mft/2006/mft06063028.htm

Generates $2.00+ / share in FCF per year with little leverage. Run rate EPS of $2.05 at the mean 15x PE multiple implies the stock should get to $30 the summer of '07... (when the "fog" of investment spend has cleared).
