RXSD..another viewpoint. RXSD is the Nol 1 selling vitamin line in the U.S. It's headquarters are 2 miles from my home. (but that's not the only reason I like it) RXSD has a deteriorating technical chart on that score I am in total agreement. It's MACD is bearish as is its 10 and 20 day moving average. RXSD' fundamental chart is in the top 1% of companies. It has had 4 surprises in the last 4 quarters and its ERG is a whopping 99 and EPS rank 98.. Growth is high projected forward for next 3 quarters. But RXSD was on an uptrend from the day it's earnings and went from 26 to 38 without stopping for a breather. It's EPS was revised upwards for next 2 quarters and next fiscal year although it was slightly down for the upcoming reporting quarter, but that was after it was revised upward quite a bit after last quarter's report. It's overextended but should pull back and provide another good play as it has in the last 3 quarters that I've played it for earnings. I am waiting for a decent pullback until earnings come out on March 18, 1998 and the stocks breaks resistance and its 38.62 52 week high. RXSD has helped us Boca Ratonians (and others across the nation) lose weight. get rid of nagging aches and pains and get renewed energy. Vitamins are one of the nation's hottest selling consumer products. The $6 billion market could double by 2001. RXSD has more than 1,500 different products including vitamins, herbal and mineral supplement, skin care lines, arthritis relief products and others. Now it is introducing a line of diet products. I personally have tried their weight loss pilled called Ultra Chroma Slim. and just lost 3 pounds with it. The thing I like most of RXSD is it's push into major world markets. You can see RXSD vitamins in shelves in Israel, Mexico and Hong Kong. Just this last August RXSD has taken the lead among all U.S. vitamin brands in sales. It's been number 1 ever since. It's prices are attractive. Their vitamins are available at Walmart and all its 2,000 locations. i'm hoping for a pullback by March 18 when RXSD comes out yet again with their earnings. this company is a few miles from my home and I have owned shares in it from the time it was 12 a share. ---------------------------------- LAST QUARTER'S EARNINGS REPORT: First Quarter Net Sales Exceed $100 Million Mark Osteo-Bi-Flex(TM) Achieves #3 National Sales Ranking BOCA RATON, Fla., Dec. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Rexall Sundown, Inc.
