when I first picked this company up it was an 9/9 with piotroski, 4 star, and of course a small cap, it has dropped to a 7/9 but still a solid pick.

This company provides a much needed service. And it will probably be going up quite a bit more. However, long term I think it has a problem. In Buffett's term, it doesn't have a good "moat". Most of the information they sell can be dug up relatively easily. Anybody can come anytime and grab its lunch.

This stock keeps going up and will continue if/when the senate passes the health reform. Not to get caught in a debate about that...just that people will be buying more "health related" stocks when they get a "green light" from Washington. I think that's what's holding it up from really soaring right now.

HGRD: A deceitful, greedy company which charges one-time customers with hidden monthly subscription fees, calling it "the Watchdog service".

More like blood-thirsty hounds. Notice how their Internet Business Group's revenues were up 124% over the Q1 2009? I wonder why...

Because of the continued health demands in the health care system, an ongoing evaluation to rate each agency has to be maintained at the highest level of competency to mark the critical points necessary to meet the highest level of Care.

+40% y-o-y stock price coming. This company's top and bottom line growth compliment the growing equity on its balance sheet and aggressive buy-back nicely.

Concept is dynamite. Peronally, I have looked for a site that performs this function before. As word spreads, people who migrate to new areas will increasingly rely upon this site to find doctors. Americans continue care more and more about health care, and will use services like this as Internet-savvy generations age.
Room for growth is there, as currently many of their products only work in 17 states. ROA > 11% for four straight years, which is fantastic. Finally, valuation is very reasonable at P/FCF of only 12 (data from Morningstar). Looks like a winner.

Well run company in a niche market. They seem to have a dominate position. I think it's trading at a discount to true value.
No debt
20 million cash
Stock buyback
Approximate: 20-30% owner earning growth rate and a p/e of 25 and price to OE of around 15.
Hopefully the company begins to add additional products and services that are innovative in the health management sector.
They stand to gain from healthcare reform as many people will be forced to actively manage their own health care.
Price may head downwards due to market conditions but this may be a good opportunity to buy. Could go back to $4 range and then come back long term.
