looking mighty fine..


Amedisys Inc (AMED), a provider of home health care and hospice services, posted second-quarter results that beat market estimates and said its integration of TLC Health Care Services was ahead of schedule.

Net service revenue rose about 85 percent to $312.7 million.

As I have written before I simply love this company - it has all the makings of a fantastic growth story - here's why:

1. It's a small cap. At under 2 billion valuation these guys can multiply 5 fold in value before reaching any kind of market saturation.

2. AMED is on an aggressive buying spree - bought two old age facilities since the year began and still retain a reasonable ROE of 16%

3. This whole sector is racing up - take a look at the industry chart compared to the S&P - like a mirror image.. Old age care is breaking out in a sprint:

4. The one thing you can count on in this market is that baby boomers are retiring, getting old and in dire need of these services.

Hope the run continues.

AMED is top heavy at this level. CEO CIO Directors insiders are selling off. I would not even consider buying in till she drops back under 39.

a lot of PE firms are getting into this space and making good margins, maybe not this stock at this price but it is an industry to keep an eye on
