What can you get of a company that combine lots of debts (Debt/Common Eq = 147%) and low cash (quick ratio of 0,22)? In this market moment i guess the answer is BLOOD ON THE STREETS or BLOOD ON THE PROFITS!!!!

"Big Box" retail companies are coming to dominate the retail consumer space. A similar example is starting to play-out in the auto market. Used cars = CarMax. Perhaps new cars will be dominated by mega-dealers such as AutoNation(AN).

This stock, wich just reported a great quarter is likely no exception. AN is a BUY!!!
