Andy - This excerpt from the VectorVest report really caught my eye: "EY (Earnings Yield): SYQT has an EY of 40.23%. This is above the current market average of 5.04%. EY equals 100 x (EARNINGS PER SHARE/PRICE), and is expressed as a percentage. EPS (Earnings Per Share): SYQT has an EPS of $1.29 per share. EPS stands for leading 12 months Earnings Per Share." How can SYQT have a positive Earnings Yield when they have been losing money for several quarters in a row? Shouldn't that be a negative number? And isn't 1.29 a share a wildly optimistic forecast for earnings per share for the next 12 months? These factors make me question the value of this analysis. - Allen
