(NYSE:NCT)GOOD FINANCIALS:1) They have a fairly balanced, yet aggressive management style showing strong financials. They have gone from Net Income of (-65 million) in 2007 to +259 million in 2011. That's good work turning it around after the crash.2) They pay good dividends (.22 per quarter/per share) which I think makes investors feel as if they sharing in the profits, not just riding a stock price ($10.02 as of this writing. that's a 8.80% Dividend Yield.), which also matters in the choice.

Almost a 45 degree angle of confidence from buyers. It shows a trend of they buy and they stay in driving up confidence.2) Data Trending: Report after report I researched on this company was 80-85 positive.
