good read from yahoo


This board is, unfortunately, infested by a cabal of bashers who are not interested in serious analysis, but merely flood readers with short, vacuous messages that demean the company without offering any specific information. The only motive they can possibly have for doing this is that they have shorted the stock--what else could it be?

I like HH, and here is why:

1. 65% of outstanding shares are owned by institutions, to include 14 million by Heartland Advisors and 2.5 million by Royce Funds, two very reputable companies.

2. The medical sector is a great place to be in uncertain times, and this is a company that was profitable in 2010. Before the market collapsed a couple of years ago, it was trading at $7+ a share. We could see it return to that level in 2012.

3. HH has a great balance sheet with $20 million in cash and no debt!

4. There is lots of insider ownership, and you can be sure they are in because they expect to make money.

5. There is a new management team in place that seems committed to growth--this company is an ideal buyout target.

So when you see that bashers on this board making short, broad, empty criticisms of HH, PLEASE hit the Ignore option on your Yahoo board. Maybe we can clean this board up a little for serious investors.
