First, the usual housecleaning. Sold from "The Distressed" are irredeemable losers Acme Packet (APKT), Hansen Medical (HNSN), MAKO Surgical (MAKO), and Zipcar (ZIP)...the proceeds from which go towards the least-awful bank stock money can buy, and now a proud Distressed graduate, Wells Fargo (WFC). (It must be good, because Warren likes it.)
This month's stock is plainly named and in a semi-boring business (hospital IT), but pays a nice dividend...

Positives:
Healthy ROA (32%), ROE (46%), and margins (22% operating, 15% profit).
Zero debt.
Steady, never-slashed 3.8% dividend yield.
Negatives:
Shrinking revenues (-6%) and meager earnings growth (+4%).
Here's my current portfolio. As always, I believe in all of these stocks - until I sell them.
