Oh baby, load me up! Well, actually, it's a HG pick and I'm cheating -- relying on Tom Gardner to do my thinking for me. Fundamentals look solid, so why not? Should stay ahead of the S&P500 and that is the point, right?

A lot of dumb money in UTI and the education bubble in general. Not in any danger since they are debt free, but in my opinion fair value is about 50% down from here.

Downthumb. Nominal cash flow. Low sales growth. No debt. COO abruptly left company. Bit of disarray in company and uncertainty in government support for private post-secondary education. Company supplies technicians for auto dealerships - not the best market currently.

This met a high level screen to indicate a sell and strong underperform against its peers (other tickers in its industry). My 1st version of this spreadsheet devles deep into the company's balance sheet and recent income statements, combined with other relevant price data for the company including insider/institutional holdings, short interest, debt levels, etc.
I'm testing capabilities of this 1st version of my automated, valuation spreadsheet matched with my personal criteria and see how it holds up.

There is less momentum, less volume, and less buying going on. We are in the last part of this rally.
