Excelent stock in hot sector.

1 3-6-9.

0 Debt, Consistent growth of revenues & earnings, PEG of 0.55, and as a pharmacy benefit management company, it resides in a "recession-proof" niche. The purchase of Immediate Pharmaceutical Services for 40 million should increase its earnings down stream, yet it still has nearly 49 million in cash from June 08 for future investments / acquisitions. Next year's earnings' growth is estimated to be over 25% and is expected to grow around 21.5% annually for the next 5 years. All in all, with my CAPM calculated discount rate of 8.53%, I estimate the value of the stock to be $36.23 / share...At this time (29Oct08), the stock closed at $16.31 / share.

What can yu say, Healthcare sector will continue to grow.

Testing out a portfolio of smallish-cap 5-star stocks found using the CAPS screener. All picks have at least 50 allstars backing them, which should be enough to minimize star rating fluctuations. It's only been about a week, and I expect a LOT of volatility, but I have high hopes for market beating performance. Time will tell...

A change is coming for healthcare and insurance. Healthcare will always be needed but I believe that the economy is shifting towards smaller companies which will be less likely to offer more than basic health benefits. Health insureance of all kinds will be undergoing a shift in the next few years and I believe tha this company will feel some pain from that shift.

Pharmacy benefits has an awesome demographic advantage.

Good overall management in a business where "shake outs" will be an increasing problem.

Great sector with baby boomers needing meds.

Having gone down the training pipeline of an insurance sales company, I hate to pick this industry. The stock looks good though with room to grow in valuation.

Solid pharmacy benefits management play.

Drugs. Old people need them, and younger people want them. What can you say, they are low right now but on their way up with their Jan 7th announcement.

the growth looks great, the operating margins a re a bit weak compared to competaters and industry standards ,but everything else looks good,and the company is on the rise with some new contracts. i'm bullish

Good company

Seems to have caught on now. One of those attractive little stocks at the periphery of the health care industry with an interesting niche

Growing by out performing the biggies in Rx managment customer service..
