I am in this stock for the long haul. The next few years will be health of babyboomers. Since the balance sheet and p/e ratio all look positive this stock should outperform the rest in the sector.

It is clear that something bearish has likely occurred or is on the horizon for stocks in LHCG's sub industry group (i.e. Home Health Care companies compensated by Medicare). If you look at the price action on weekly charts of LHCG, AFAM and AMED in 2008/09; you will clearly see that they have topped and are now declining on massive volume down days despite reporting outstanding earnings and revenue growth for last quarter and giving higher guidance for up coming year and quarter! This is tremendous divergence and people long these stocks should at least consider closing positions. I am not saying that these stocks will certainly go lower but the odds do favor continued downward movement in these stocks over the next few months hence my under perform rating.

Provides hospice services. A growth pick for baby boomers! Outstanding balance sheet, excellent growth the past two years, and minimal debt.

LHCG is a solid and growing company in a field which is poised to do well in the coming future. This is due in part to the demand for the service, as baby boomers retire in ever increasing numbers, and need more health related services as they age. I feel government will favor the industry over the long term. Provided company managers continue to hone efficiencies and make sound business decisions, LHCG is poised to do well.

Riding the wave, suspect less selling since most holding have no pain in doing so as they are up. Will do the same with a few others hitting 52 wk highs. This is a trade, not an investment.

Health care niche business. Significant cost advantage. Proven mgt team in an industry with good growth prospects fueled by aging of US population. Historically strong profit performance. The impact of medicare and health reform will remain a critical factor to their business.

Rapidly growing need for in-home health care services provided by companies like LHCG. To date most services have been provided by regional, privately owned firms. LHCG is consolidating the industry in the Southeastern states. Economies of scale arise from consolidated management, marketing, billing and insurance coverage. Expect LHCG to continue to grow in the next 5 years as it expands through acquisition.

Properties are in underserved area but where employees tend to be available. Have cash to keep acquiring which means a more efficient back office.
