http://finance.yahoo.com/q/pr?s=USPH U.S. Physical Therapy, Inc., through its subsidiaries, operates outpatient physical and occupational therapy clinics in the United States. The company's clinics provide pre and post-operative care and treatment for orthopedic related disorders, sports related injuries, preventative care, rehabilitation of injured workers, and neurological related injuries. This Fool post explains the bull case perfectly : http://caps.fool.com/Ticker/USPH.aspx Points 1.the lead therapist has ownership of the clinic 20-35 %.This was the clincher for me.I am in the medical profession and I believe it is the dedication of the professional more than anything else which will promote patient well being which in turn will lead to better performance. 2.America is getting older so the prospects are excellent 3.low debt The analyst WeeValue also mentions excellent cash flow,ROE,ROIC and an adroit management who is not afraid to take painful decisions(unlike some professors in government).
