Crystal Rock Holdings Class A (CRVP) Quote

What a beautiful chart set up

Hi JJAMMAANN,

I would caution you or anyone that reads our posts to not rely too much on the accumulation distribution indicator for a thinly traded stock such as CRVP. I include the indicator in my charts and pay a little bit of attention to it for some of the stocks that I hold that are quite liquid and have large volume (Ford, GE, etc).

It's my opinion that, the A/D indicator suffers from the same problems that many of the technical indicators suffer from - it shortcuts the true volume/price information by relying on just the high, low, open, and/or close prices, not the full detail of the full trade prices and volumes for the day. Stocks with very large volume and relatively slow changes in price don't get distorted much by this. I think that low priced thinly traded stocks like CRVP can easily get distorted results on this indicator by just a few carefully chosen buys or sells that are often under $50 if timed to modify the high/low or close. I've been using the stochastic indicator to help me decide exactly when to pull the trigger on a buy or sell of stocks and options that I'm prepared to make a trade on for a lot of years now. I never, ever, use any of these indicators to help me decide when to buy or sell CRVP. I really can't tell if it's a form of price manipulation, or if the thin trade volume makes things extremely volatile. The buys and sells of a couple of hundred shares here and there can have a very large effect on the indicators. Perhaps this is all "indicator engineering" intended to suck in the investors that rely on technical indicators - perhaps it's just a random effect of a very low volume stock that sells at a really low price that still sells on a major exchange.

I'm not a stock manipulator, and I don't play one on TV. But if I was a dishonest manipulator of stock prices, CRVP would be high on my list of candidates- low price, low volume, long history and not delisted and not bankrupt, price can easily be manipulated.

I don't understand the ridiculously low volume days either, but I see that in other thinly traded stocks once in a while. I'm wondering if has something to do with market makers having to close their positions, or something along that line - I don't really know, but would be very interested in hearing from anyone who does understand it.

I have several thousand shares that I've purchased over the years and also have been in and out many times over the years. I did buy during the November dip at $0.47 (but sold the next day at $0.57). One of the challenges with CRVP as a trading stock is that it often has very long periods where it trades very thinly - it can be extremely difficult to get trades to go through that are larger than 1K shares. It also tends to be subject to pump and dump.

As far a a long term investment - it really has not been a very good stock to own. It pays no dividend and has has seen it's margins eroding for quite some time now. I'm seriously considering liquidating the shares that I own as I don't see a clear path to any real improvement in the future.

Looking specifically at the Accum/Dist line, it appears that people are buying shares and holding them. I currently do not own any shares, and have not been looking to buy any, but will now add it to my watch list.
Holding for 10 years....that is brave! I don't know what you bought in at, but I do see a few pops over the past five years. Maybe another big one coming up in the future?
I guess you would know more about this company than I, but that dip to .45 back in November would have been a great time to buy. With the current price riding between the 50/100DMA, it could go either way?
At the close of business on February 3, 2016, 21,358,411 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding and eligible to vote
On another note, with only 21 Million outstanding shares, it wouldn't take much positive news to drive the PPS up quickly since many people are holding right now.
Best of Luck!

I'd be interested in getting a discussion going on CRVP again. I've owned the stock for well over a decade. For full disclosure, I do find the lack of information on CRVP and the stock price performance over these many years rather disappointing and unsettling.

Looks pretty good. I bought some a couple of weeks ago for .59. After the 13G statement came out. Peter Kamin owns 6.9% of the common shares. He manages a family office. From some people I follow on twitter, they say he has a good track record. Also they feel this stock is extremely undervalued compared to other companies in their industry. Good luck.

Is this board still active?

Good luck. Too risky for my blood at this point.

Here's the 64K question ... did you see any indicators back before 7 Jul that this puppy was headed north? I did not. That's when the real money was made ... if one was long before the PR.

Added a little more at $1.70...

Bounce that started around 10:40 seems to be flattening out and volume is slowing.

Be careful.

Looks like a buy opp imo...

Dump is starting. If you have gains, might want to take some of them before they disappear.

$2 break coming here!

yea consolidation time over, should test $2 anytime soon

nice...this is running hard right now

insane volatility on this stock right now. Fun to watch. Who knows how high it goes today!

This is so overbought it will need to fill the gap imo.

Needs to drop back to $1.00 on steady high volume to sustain the run.

"We continue to increase sales through the strength of our Cool Beans coffee and office products initiative, however, as a result of challenging economic conditions and a competitive market place, our gross margin declined slightly," said Peter Baker, C.E.O. of Crystal Rock Holdings, Inc. "With lower margins and strategic investments in our infrastructure, increased sales have not translated to an increased bottom line, yet. We expect that by continuing to execute our growth plan, diversifying our sales base and controlling our costs, we'll be in better position to support our goal of increasing profitability."

Note: This press release contains a forward-looking statement about executing a growth plan, diversifying our sales base and controlling our costs to become more profitable. The following important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statement: Establishing a new product channel, such as office products, requires a significant investment of money and management time and requires us to develop systems, such as online ordering systems, to an extent we have not done previously. There is no assurance we can succeed. There are many competitors in the office products business, and some are bigger and better capitalized than we are. To the extent that we try to grow that business by acquisitions, we may experience difficulties integrating the acquired businesses or assets, or we may fail to realize synergistic savings that we had hoped to realize. Even if we establish a new product channel, it may not be profitable. In addition, controlling costs in an environment in which commodity prices, such as fuel and coffee, are increasing significantly may not be possible. If we are unable to control costs and increase prices accordingly, our profitability may be adversely affected. In our Form 10-K Annual Report for the Fiscal Year ended October 31, 2010, the reader is directed to the section entitled "Risk Factors" for more information about these and other topics.
