Excellent value, good return and a strong balance sheet. I had been thinking about this for a while but I am now going to say that this will outperform.

I believe that the current admin. push for health care reform will stall, especially if they go into the spring recess w/out any legislation sent to the President. The upcoming mid-term elections will focus Congress' attention on getting re-elected (ie., not addressing controversial issues), and if the Republicans make the expected gains, the "grand vision" will go the way of HillaryCare. If, however, reform measures favored by the Dems DOES get passed, Government restrictions of payments/reimbursements will greatly reduce the profitability of home health providers.

Very small company, but with a good niche. On track for explosive growth as the baby boomer generation ages.

Positioned well to take advantage of increasing population of older Americans; and it's stock has been pretty beaten up over the last year. Here's to getting older!

The health care doom is priced into the stock, and that's certainly a risk. However, a contrarian angle is that home care is cheaper than institutional, so some states may actually expand/support this program. Its cheap on valuation.

Talk about riding a big wave! If this home health care company continues to be managed as well in the future as in the past, how can it loose? Healthcare reform? I'm not scared of that. Between the demographic need for more help for the elderly, and my own experience with my parents - this seems like a sure bet.

I think AFAM was mentioned in the book "Finding the Next Starbucks" - a book about investing in small growth businesses. AFAM is rated 5 stars in CAPS and should be a multi-bagger from the megatrend of an aging population.
