Things to look for in a stock:
1. Earnings per share in the lastest quarter should up 25 percent versus the same quarter a year ago and preferable much more.
2. Earnings growth should be accelerating at some point in recent quarter compared wjth earlier rates of change.
3. Annual earnings for he last three years should be increasing at a rate of 25 percent per year or even more
4. Sales should be up 25 percent or more in one or more recent quarters or at least accelerating in thier percentage change for the last three quarters.
5. The after -tax profit margin in the most recent quarter should either at least close to a new high and among the very best in the company's industry.
6. Return on equity should 15 to 17 percent or higher.
7. Technogy companies should show cash flow earnings per share greater than regular earnings.
8. It's vital in any stock you buy that you really understand the story of the company.

Hartcourt has many of these elements. Not to bad for a emerging company. : )
