I have seen MBT go from $70 a share to $91 a share in the short. I think this is a stock that will continue to make those turns. I don't see a long-term hold for this in my portfolio.

Start Price: $48.00 MBT Score: +4.26

Showed up on a screen for solid 5 year growth with low debt, cash on hand and still at attractive P/E ratios.

Start Price: $48.50 MBT Score: +2.99

A risky buy, if you're familiar with the way business has been done in Russia in the past, but has great potential, and a lot of room to grow. Low P/E and good financial strength.
