This is a great company, but so is the current valuation. The growth just doesn't justify a $13.9 billion market cap. The stock is currently overvalued by about 40 to 50 percent. Remember what a smart investor once said - "a great business is not a great investment if you pay too much for it."

DCF on this stock is less than current. I think they have some pain to work through, but it's a needed product.

298. Fastenal Co. (NASDAQ: FAST) is repping out new all-time highs like it's nobody's business. Sell. Do not think twice. The valuation here is so high that a small mis-step will result in lower prices. The chart is parabolic. Target: $30-$40. I'm betting CAPS points on this one coming back down to earth. Since when can you apply a P/E of 40+ to a company set to grow at less than 20%? Well, if your answer was: "In your dreams." You'd be right. Mark my words, Fastenal will fall below $40 in the next 5 years.

Insider Trading brought me to this stock. Valuation is high, but growth opportunities trump that concern. Was not familiar with the company prior to this week - Surpirsed that it is roughly the same size as Grainger - A name that I am familiar with. One of the coolest things this company does is place product vending machines in their customers facilities - You can walk up to the machine and by a 3/8" carbide drill bit or whatever else you may need - Likely not much profit in the actual drill bit, but the visablity of the machines and the ability of the Fastenal salesmen to gain access to these business on a weekly basis is invaluable.
