This Company has seen a disastrous 6 months going from a high of 29 to a low of 7; but so did most of the market. What I like about this stock is that at the moment it has released its financial statements, and posted a loss bigger than expected, so its stock has suffered a bit more. However, with the FAA tightening on Airline Regulations, and this company providing one of the major players in bringing airlines into US State Certification in order to fly here. The airlines(domestic) are going through major issues themselves right now besides regulation (oil prices anyone?) but foreign airlines still have to bring their aircraft into our Regulations if they want to fly into the country. And we have just relaxed a couple of rules to fly from Europe, where the euro is kicking the greenback, so more tourists are going to want to fly here= more airlines flying into the US= more Regulations have to be met= More money for ISSC. If that doesn't convince you, then I'll let you know that they have a HUGE amount of backlog for this year and the next with a bag of chips left over.
