Frank,
Thanks for an excellent post. Did your post send the stock by 1/2?
Given that the next earnings will be released in August, I indeed
expect a rally in the next three weeks. The bigger question is
whether the rally can be sustained. My own feeling is that, more
periodic rallies there are around earnings releases, the more likely
the stock will be valued at high levels for the long haul (since the
earnings have to be decent for short rallies to occur.)
I came across the following profile (DJ) that suggests that there
are analysts who follow and rate EDUSF. It is dated on 7/17
(earlier profiles did not have analysts' ratings and estimates).
Since the DJ profile contains many mistakes, I suspect that the
part pertaining to analysts' ratings and earnings may be an error
generarted by computer. So I don't necessarily trust it. However,
if it is true, it means that some analysts have initiated coverage
on the stock in the recent weeks thus great news.
