CASY is one of the best companies in the USA. This has been voted on. Not only that they are a dominant force in Iowa. They pretty much are in every small town and are very prominent in the large cities too. Either they will keep growing or be a huge take over target - this would be done to get a great foothold in the Midwest. Plus they also pay a dividend.

E2008-09-04 10:30am Quite a runup. Overvalued? Perhaps. They have an investor's conference with Lehman on the 10th. For now it's a short.

In most small towns in Iowa, Casey's is the only convenience store. They have been in this market for over 20 years. They sell tasty pizza and a LOT of gasoline. They also serve as the local gathering place for people to meet and drink coffee. The main competition for Casey's in Iowa is the privately held "Kum & Go" (http://www.kumandgo.com/) chain, but mainly just in the larger markets.
