I looked at it, I looked at it. I was like, nah it's a fad...it won't hold

I was wrong.

Future words of self-advice-> I'm betting on fads for now on. There are enough idiots and people who do what everyone else does in this country, I might as well make money off them.

Ebay is def not a fad..and is not going out anytime soon...companies like yahoo have tried to put up auction sites and they have failed....they have it down to a science and it just keeps getting better and better..they even bought the missing link to their business which was paypal....now they make money all the way through the transaction...

Stock Split Pending on Jan 14 (3-2).

When I went through Shufflemaster's webpage, it became apparent that this company is as serious about counting chips/cards for casinos as much as currency is counted at a typical bank. I think that's the main appeal for this company.
The recent Texas Hold em poker fad facilitates more of a niche gaming interest. But as long as Vegas and other casinos throughout the US and abroad keep on trucking, SHFL's future looks bright.
