America is fat and this company will help them get thinner. :) I think this one will be up quite a bit sometime over the next year. Don't know that I'd hold for a long time after that.

This is one of best shorts ever. Med is up about 9 times over its recent low. PE of 47 ( to the moon already ) Predominantly only substantial insider selling this year. Cash and real assets not much over $1 per share. Expense rate has almost kept up… More

I started my pick at $6.92. I ended it at $32.54, which is well above the intrinsic value I placed on it at $11.53. It still has more room to fall.
