( 1) Per my recent analysis ASCA is a growth stock story with projected 5-year growth rate of nearly 50% and expectations of around 150% earnings growth this year. Also, ASCA has a dividend yield of 2.4% and has free cash flow of $4/share.


( 2) Expecting ASCA to surprise on eanins when ASCA reports this week.

I billion market cap. They have no growth and don't make a lot of money. But, the 50 crossed the 150 and there is some staircase action. So with a market cap of one billion the financials don't matter so much. Probably a buyout here. If it trades below the 50day moving average for more than a week ( say 8 days ), then I would exit my position. Otherwise hold as long as trades above the 50
