RTI Biologics Has Great Growth Potential
While screening on Barchart for small cap stocks having great price momentum I came across RTI Biologics (RTIX), an undiscovered stock that is beginning to be put on analysts' watch lists. The bio-medical sector is starting to move and the product line of this stock is wanted and necessary. Just look at the 11 new highs and 14.24% price appreciation this stock received even in a soft market.

The more experienced All Stars are more positive with a 97% vote for the same result.
Summary: RTI Biologics is in that sweet spot I like for speculative growth stocks. It has press and is being followed by major stock information sites like Value Line and Motley Fool and has drawn the attention of Wall Street analyst but as yet has not been added to any of their model portfolios. I couldn't pass up these aggressive double digit earnings projects and have added it to both my own account and the accounts of my managed money portfolios.
I think the cultured bone and tissue industry will be a big medical growth area and this company has proven products. Because of its low price and high P/E ration this stock should be acquired only for speculative portfolios but deserves a place on the watch lists of all growth oriented investors.
Disclosure: I am long RTIX. I own the stock personally and it is a position in my clients' managed money portfolios.
