Thanks for pointing that article out. I agree that there is a trend away from traditional tax prep services and that Intuit is the leader in this trend, but I hesitate to call it a strong trend. It might seem strong at the moment mainly because people are trying to save money, but I think once employment starts to tick up, people will be more willing to go to a place like H&R Block while there will continue to be a slow gradual shift from using a tax preparer to doing it yourself.

For me, HRB is a very safe bet on a company with a history of outstanding margins. I see little to no downside and the chances for a very good return on your investment is very large. HRB is also a bet that the managers will be able to turn around the business and make it even more profitable. Plus there is the realistic possibility that HRB will eventually be taken private.
