Over on CAPS, fully 1,015 of the 1,091 members who have rated TASER -- some 93% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include CAPS All-Star Gtrinvestor and BigBang12.
In October, Gtrinvestor reminded our community that TASER, "actually makes money, increases sales, and is just now going to the have their product carried in Sports Authority stores."
In a pitch just a few days later, BigBang12 agrees, citing TASER's growing global presence as reason to go long:
Gaining worldwide acceptance with recent international news of large sales to UK, France, Australia, Ireland, and Korea will opened [TASER]'s door to a whole new level of sales in the coming quarters. Other countries will follow suite. Add that to no debt, new products debuting in 2009, little to no competition, gives this stock 75 thumbs up in my opinion.
