Clancy, thanks for your response! Appreciate your comments very much.
Here is one that not only passes the "sniff test" but is one that I have been chomping at the bit to buy for over a year, awaiting the day that they became publicly traded. FINALLY, today is the day.... I happily bought SAI, Scientific Applications International,which, already a great buy for me first thing this am, on the rise, is also looking to be an AWESOME hold!
If you are looking for a really quality stock for long term gains you can depend on, check out SAI.
