I think 2011 should have taught investors to never overpay for a stock. All of the high-flyers with extreme valuations crashed hard. Pricesmart is another hot stock right now with a truly crazy valuation. This company has tiny profit margins (free cash flow/revenues). Return on capital (free cash flow/tangible invested capital) is also in the low single digits. This company has a 5-year average free cash flow of $17.8 million, and that's before even taking out stock based compensation expense. The current price of $66.56 per share divided by the 5 year average free cash flow of $0.6138 per share gives us a ratio of 108.5. In other words, investors are willing to pay 108.5 times the company’s 5-year average free cash flow. The current growth simply doesn't justify this huge valuation. I think 2012 will be no different than 2011, and some people will be forced to learn the same lessons all over again.

I didn't buy this well for my CAPS list. So I used my limit orders to stop me out at cost, or sell close to the high.

The opening of new warehouses should bring more revenue and balance out the extra operational cost that lowered the earning last quarter.

Latin America is growing at twice the rate as the developed market. With the middle class expanding and more individuals owning cars, I expect this trend to continue.

COST of Latin America. If it is run as well as Jim Sinegal ran COST this will be a winner.
Long term outperform.

PriceSmart will increase market share as it exspand in Latin America and create a large moat / barrier for other retailers to cross.
