Don't mean to throw cold water on all the PTEK enthusiasm (I can't find anything wrong with it either), but the analyst "gift" comment calls to mind a comment made a few years ago by an analyst regarding Discovery Zone, then trading at about $10 (down from around $20). He said "back the truck up to this one and buy all you can". I visited the DZ with my kids and frankly could not see what all the hype was about, so I passed on the buy. Thank god- a year or so later the company was in Chapter 11!

When a company pulls back like PTEK has for no apparent good reason, there often is a very good reason for the pullback; not always, but often. Doesn't mean I wouldn't buy it around here-I may do so soon-but not before I have a better sense of what is going on here.

In the meantime, be wary of "gifts", especially those so ordained by analysts whose motives are not disclosed.
