 I would be extremely cautious about PPD. IMHO, there are some huge concerns regarding their financial statements. For a detailed explanation of these concerns, go to realmoney.com. Subscribers can search by ticker and author (Herb Greenberg) and check the stories out. Nonsubscribers can get a free trial and should be able to perform the same search (I am a subscriber and have a tremendous amount of respect for Greenberg's work).
Issues involve, but are not limited to, subscriber retention, commissions as a percentage of membership fees, the firing of Deloitte and Touche as their auditor, restatement of financials, delays if filing its most recent 10-K,  and increasing attrition rates among members.
Remember, this company, at its most basic, is a multi-level marketing firm. While in and of itself that might not disqualify it from investment (or trading), IMO that structure begs for additional scrutiny, to say the least.
