Stock price when the opinion was issued
Manufactures tasers. A highly domestic kind of business. Have consistently been growing its EBITDA. Margins are very strong. Has been looking at this name for quite a while, but it just keeps running away from him. If you are looking for a name with a good alpha, and a domestic business, this is a good name to own. Trading at something like 50X earnings.
We can't of course predict prices with much accuracy, but it was a solid quarter for the company and things continue to look good. We would suggest buying half and filling the position if/when it consolidates a bit.

Business is good, and stock momentum excellent. Timing is rarely perfect. We would be OK adding a partial position for an investor just entering the stock. We think existing holders can wait a bit before adding: it is not likely to be a straight line up.

With the stock up 146% this year, some consolidation was needed and is probably healthy. We are seeing some big hits in many stocks today, with most having no news. Fundamentals are strong and estimates have ticked up in the past four weeks. The company has only really started to penetrate international markets, and likely has many years of growth ahead of it. It is not cheap, though, and investors are paying up for its market share and reliability. We would be very comfortable holding a position and buying into any futher weakness.
