Good company. Growth industry (healthcare) and anti-cyclical industry (plumbing).

This company's Roto-Rooter division, (the flagship) business model is quite poor to a degree that I think will come back and bite them. Especially during hard times. They will not quote their service prices over the phone not even hourly rates (but other competitor's will) and usually when the technician gets to the customer, the customer is quite unhappy because the price is 2x higher than other local competitors who will quote prices, and the average customer generally feels hosed. This greedy/sneaky business model can't continue, and the bridges they have burned already will cost them dearly going forward.

Slow and steady wins the race. This stock creeps up bits at a time but you know, people still need their Roto Roter in good times and bad.

Market cap of ~ 870 relatively small, price/earnings of 14 is pretty good, debt/equity 0.607 not too bad. Greater than 100% pre-tax return on capital is sweet, and the VITAS segment niche market is attractive.

People are going to continue using this service, but i think a slow down will occur first as people try and fix things themselves. their medical side of the company should continue to do well though I would think.
