Fastenal (FAST) in The Red But Gets Very Positive 5 STARs S&P Rating - Zibb.com

Fastenal (NasdaqNM: FAST) closed yesterday at $37.01. So far the stock has hit a 52-week low of $25.87 and 52-week high of $41.67. Fastenal stock has been showing support around 36.30 and resistance in the 37.80 range. Technical indicators for the stock are Bullish and S&P gives FAST a very positive 5 STAR (out of 5) strong buy rating. FAST appears on the Investors Observer Momentum Plays list. For a hedged play on this stock, look at a Jan '10 35 covered call (FQA AG) for a net debit in the $34.11 area. That is also the break even stock price for this trade. This covered call has a 54 day duration, provides 7.84% downside protection and a 2.61% assigned return rate for a 17.64% annualized return rate (comparison purposes only). A lower cost hedged play for this stock would use a longer term call option in place of the covered call stock purchase. To use this strategy look at going long the FAST Jan '11 20 Call (VWS AD) and selling the Jan '10 35 call (FQA AG) for a $14.70 debit. The trade has a 54 day life and would provide 6.24% downside protection and a 2.04% assigned return rate for a 14.00% annualized return rate (for comparison purposes only). Fastenal has a current annual dividend yield of 1.95%.

Fastenal Chairman Continues to lower Holdings (FAST) - Zibb.com

10/18/2009-In Barron's most recent publication, Miriam Gottfried wrote a piece entitled "Fastenal Founder Trims Stake." Gottfried said that the company's Chairman and Founder, Robert A. Kierlin, recently sold 90,000 shares, cutting his stake in the company from 5.8% to 5.7%. Gottfried argues that while analysts say that while construction business cutbacks have bottomed out for the company, this insider is still "whittling down" his stake, selling $3.5 million shares in Fastenal (NASDAQ:FAST). Shares of Fastenal closed 1.9% lower Friday, to $38.75 per share.
