Just had their IPO last week, it's the largest hospital operator in America currently it has a P/E of less than 3 while the industry average is over 16. Looking at their income statements, they have steadily increasing revenues from 06 it also has the highest profit margin of any hospital operator.

Here is an interesting article about it as well.

I plan on putting in an order tomorrow with a stop price around 28, barring a market crash (which is always possible) where the baby gets thrown out with the bathwater like 08, I can't see this losing.

What say ye?

Well for me the most it will lose is 5-10%, and an upside potential if P/E's are any guide of 400% +. ;)
