With the economy the way it is, it's hard to find any company that is even somewhat sheltered from being beaten down. There is a company, however, that is defying the market's gravitational pull.
eHealth Inc. (EHTH) is an internet based health insurance provider for families and small businesses. Their headquarters is based in the same city as Google in Mountain View, CA, and was established in 1997. Despite the downturn, they have doubled the number of policies from nearly 500,000 in 2007 to presently over 1,000,000. The potential for US subscribers is much larger still.
They also have a partnership with Alltrust Insurance Agency Co. in China that gives them access to the extremely vast and developing market for health insurance in China. Having a foothold in China gives eHealth the opportunity to grow many times its current size.
eHealth's financial condition is outstanding:
- They maintain a profit margin of 31% and have very minimal liabilities.
- With no long-term or short-term debt, the only significant liabilities eHealth carries are Accounts Payable.
- Their year-over-year quarterly revenue growth is at 24%.
- The stock price has a PE of 10x, which is low for such a high growth company.
I believe eHealth is one of those rare, undiscovered great companies that will skyrocket when investors realize the value in it. This stock has a market cap of less than $350 million and about 25 million shares outstanding. If you asked William O'Neil, founder of Investor's Business Daily, he would say that this is the type of stock that will generate returns into the 1000%'s over time because it fits his time-tested, but strict investing formula.
Although the "buy and hold" stock investing strategy hasn't been working in this wild-swing market, eHeatlh's stock has the potential to yield huge returns if you hold it for 3 to 5 years.

Japanese Candle Charting Opens Doors of Understanding
By: William Kurtz | 10/07/2009The "bar chart" method of financial price display is fine as far as it goes, but it has been superseded by the Japanese Candlestick method, which uses the Candlesticks as the base. It then goes on further so as to display the area between the opening price and the closing price as a cylinder, left white if the close is higher than the open and filled in black if the close is less than the open. Simple, but highly effective and revealing.
