Hi Duke,
One thing I always do when looking at a stock is to ascertain the "true" =
competition. Very often, a company's competitors will be scattered in =
other industry groups. That's also the reason that I look for strength =
from both directions--strong stocks-->>true competitors-->>industry as =
well as strong/rising industry-->>stocks-->>competitors.
UOPX is the "online" component of APOL's business and was spun off to =
take advantage of the "e" in "e-commerce." That's why it gets lumped =
together with other ecommerce businesses. The question is, is the =
industry group descriptive? Yes. Is it sufficient for evaluating UOPX's =
"group" strength? No.
Couple of good spots for finding the true competition:

Hi Patrick,
Three essential reasons:
(1) APOL, the parent, owns the lion's share of outstanding shares. =
As goes APOL, so goes UOPX. APOL made a feeble attempt at breaking out =
of a cup with no handle 2/26. Immediately tailed down the following day. =
No valid handle to go with the rest of the cup, so APOL's breakout on =
3/4 was bogus in my mind. UOPX gapped and staged an attempted B/O on the =
same day, but given APOL's lousy chart, I put the odds of UOPX's B/O =
succeeding at very low.
(2) At the time I saw UOPX setting up, its forward PE (not trailing) =
based on EPS estimates and growth rate had it at 2 times the industry =
average. In a market where value has been steadily outperforming growth, =
I know that no stock that is so significantly overpriced by comparison =
has a chance of going anywhere.
(3) The rest of the stocks in the industry are also setting up, so =
the industry is strong. I would rather choose another stock in the same =
industry with a better "story", technicals and valuation as a result.
