This account tracks the less exciting stocks from my watch list - companies that are easy to understand with clean balance sheets and good track records in relatively straight-forward industries.

A stock completely being ignored by most of fool members. If I look at fundmentals and performance, this is rock star stock.
Earning growth in past five years: 44.98%
Sales growth in past five years: 94.99%

I will call it rocket growth. Current market cap is just 200 Million dollars. Very small company with huge room for growth.

Now some valuation numbers
Current P/E: 6.1
P/B: 1.69
P/S:1.09
P/C:1.22

Wow, ideal from all perspective. Cheap, with huge cash in hands and sales equal to its market value.

Now financial postion,
Debt/Eq: 0.38
Long term debt/Equity: 0.21

Very small amount of debt hence no risk.
Now best part...This company is giving dividend yield of 9.0% even during the times of severe crisis...During these days most of companies are cutting dividends are ending them...this is the one which is growing its dividends.

I am strongly bullish on this company for nex
