Businessweek's 100 Sizzling Hot Growth Companies

[Rob]

Businessweek has published its list of the 100 Hot Growth Companies for 2006. There are a number on the list that are familiar to those who hang out on these threads and some that may not be.

There's lots of good fodder there for discussion. The list of companies appears below.

See any that you think are exceptionally good buys at the moment? If so, I for one would love to hear your reasons.

See any that you think are exceptionally good buys at the moment? If so, I for one would love to hear your reasons.

II VI (ticker IIVI) is right down the road from me. I have friends that work there and they are busier than ever... getting grouchy too. One friend works 10-12 hour days. I don't know if this means it is a good buy right now. There are a lot of shares owned by employees.

I want MFLX to fly, Why?. Because I am too deep! hehehehe

Historically this has been a pretty good list of fundamentally solid companies with good growth prospects.

Rob, I like the top 100 that Business 2.0 magazine has announced in their most recent issue. I'll try to get the list.

[Rob]

Sorry

Lye & Sis ....

Sorry guys, I didn't have time to look up the tickers. And I almost abandoned the idea of the post altogether, but I figured a list o' names is better than no list at all.

If you click the hyperlink to the list in the original post, you do get a clickable list at least.
