I recently wondered about the ongoing results for Force Protection . The news on the products sounds great, they are a fast growing company in S Carolina providing armored vehicles for Iraq, but they have not turned a profit. all that changed this week with the quarterly release of their earnings, click on the hyper link to take a look. 

Hrly_chart_frptClick on the hourly chart at the left to see just what a difference positive earnings can make for a company.  After climbing to 8 and then backing off, the stock immediately shot to nine bucks.  Apparently the market sighed with relief and then bought like crazy.  This is why we study cash flow and earnings, that is what it takes to make a company.  This could be quite  a growth prospect.
