IPCM is a low volume stock with little analyst coverage so it's understandably confusing to many. When rating this stock, it helps to stick to the fundamentals: It has an excellent balance sheet, routinely taking in 3x profit to loss ratio, it is in a growing, recession resistent sector (Heathcare), and is compliant with a more acessible and larger Obama healthcare plan, as it already caters to a diversity of clients, and! it will pop after a JP Morgran presentation next week. Buy this in incredments, but if you allign its performance with the S&P 500 over the last year, you'll see that it is designed to outperform not only its sector but the index as well.

I dont know why IPCM is on the Fools list as a hot IPO. Did you know that they were kicked out of most of the hospitals from the Phoenix area. Their Physician turnover is above 50% every year since they were founded. Please do your research before you put out a stock as a hot stock. Anyone that puts money on IPCM is going to loose their shirt. You don't believe me, as any Physician in the Phoenix area.

Everyone wins with the hospitalits. Hospitals win because patient care time is reduced by 12% and hospitalists are able to more efficiently manage emergency rooms by diagnosing who needs emergency care and who can be treated by their primary physician. The primary physicians win because they do not have to spend time in the hospital making rounds and can stay at their office, which is more profitable for them. The patients win by being able to see the same doctor each and every time they visit the hospital.
This is an emerging niche market in the healthcare industry. The number of hospitalists have increased 50x in the past decade and with an aging baby boomer population and the strain on hospitals, visits from your primary care physician to the hospital are on there way out and hospitalists are on their way in. Hospitalists are currently most demanded in large metropolitian areas and expect to see growth into less populated areas into the near future.
That said I believe that IPC (and the hospitalist market) has a tremendous upside, but I need to see earnings before I buy in real life. We will learn if IPC is for real on March 20th.
