-With 1 yellow and 2 red flags I thought it worth = doing a=20 PE Extension check. I've reconstructed the PE at the = time of=20 the B/O in October using trailing EPS numbers for the = prior=20 quarters. That puts it at $7.13/$.29 =3D 24.59. The = extension=20 warning would then be a forward PE of 24.59*2.21=3D = 54.3. Let's=20 see. DGO doesn't have any estimates, which means it = isn't=20 followed by enough analysts. I checked the internet to = see if=20 I could find anything and ran across this EPS/Rev=20 snapshot:

I am alarmed by the essentially flat revenues = over the=20 last 4 years, so I am going to go with the EPS = estimates in my=20 VectorVest software which reads a measly $.02. That = puts the=20 current forward looking PE at $11.98/$0.02 =3D 599! = I'll have to=20 mark that Red Flag.
 
One note is that its industry is fairly healthy,=20 consolidating after rising, not overly = extended and=20 currently ranked in the 2nd quartile.
 
I'll let you take it from there!

I would appreciate your analysis = - - it is=20 the one big recent winner I am wondering what to do = with.=20 Based on all of my past experiences, and knowing the = companies outlook, my gut tells me that it needs to=20 consolidate here, but will run into the $20's = by=20 mid-year.

Thank you.
