Stockchase Opinions

Gordon Reid Air Methods Corp AIRM-Q HOLD Jul 22, 2015

An air transportation ambulance service, both community and hospital-based. An erratic stock as it is subject to weather. About three quarters of their fleet are helicopter based, and sometimes just cannot fly. However, that will even out over time.

TOP PICK

Involved in air emergency evacuation/transportation business. They have 2 models, a community based model and a hospital-based model. An interesting company because it is one of those that you know will do well over the long-term. They have tripled their revenues over the last 10 years, and yet it is kind of lumpy because highly dependent on the weather being okay.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 5/15. Down 18.53%.) In the air ambulance business. They have 2 areas of operation, contracting with people that need an air ambulance, and the community side where they work for hospitals transporting patients. Things tend to be fairly lumpy, but looking at a long-term progression it is a really good story. Not expensive.
