Hastings Entertainment, Inc. (HAST)

CAPS Rating:
*****

The Company is a multimedia entertainment retailer, which operates entertainment superstores that buy, sell, trade, and rent various home entertainment products.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Grassroots, staying power. I grew up in rural Texas, Hastings was there my entire life selling me every CD I listened to, every book I read, every movie I rented, etc. They have adopted the format of other entertainment retailers by including a coffee shop and a warmer atmosphere now, and with franchise-inside-of-franchise planning like that it stands to grow steadily and more than ever in coming years. Even if you have never heard of Hastings it is the only option for most places in the country and continues to expand in areas ignored by other larger chains.

A pure long term pick. I have been familiar with this company since the early 90's and it shows great promise in it's market area.
