This company reported much better then expected earnings following yesterday's market trading. Ahead of the news the stock gained more then 1.00 as it closed higher on more volume. It traded as high as 24.00 in after hours once the news was released.

We are looking for this stock to get some major notice today right off the get go as it remains a great value play and can even find its way into the high 20's over the next few days and still not be considered overvalued. We will look to get in this stock about 39 mins after today's opening bell and we will be looking for 4 points on this one as we should have plenty of followers on this stock today.
