Capstone Companies Inc (CAPC)

[sabercatpuck]

Do note, no idea if this is real or not, but since some of the speculation is for Westinghouse I did want to throw out a thought creeping around my head about that. CAPC was my second stock I ever picked up and the only one I have been confident enough in to hold a position in with my own money for a long time. The first one I bought into was WEST, for Westinghouse Solar. This was in fact a branding opportunity for a different company (now known as Andalay, Solar) for integrated solar panels. When I was first getting into trading it seemed like it had quite a few good things going for it, good product, nice retail channels, etc. What soured me on them was their management, and even though I took a small loss I sold out of that because I found a better looking stock in CAPC (and it was the perfect time since WEST never made it back that level again and now they are diluting shares to make money). Since then Westinghouse and Andalay parted company, though Andalay still trades under the WEST ticker.

Now the interesting thing here is that obviously the solar panels that were being made are a product that would be outside, and we have been told that the next product to be introduced would be an outside product and integrated solar panels would slide well into the AC Kinetics niches. Could just be a huge coincidence, but I thought it was an interesting one to throw out there as a possibility for consideration.
