Danny:
In addition to ACN, StockCentral also has forum discussions on three other IT outsourcing companies: CTSH, INFY and WIT.
What are your thoughts on which is the best one to buy at this time...and why?
And, do you have any SSG(s) to share??

The only other one you mentioned that I am familiar with is Infosys. http://www.stockcentral.com/data/tabid/55/language/en-US/Default.aspx
The things I like about infy are no debt and the current ratio and quick ratio (acid test) are at +5. So financially I would say they are in the catbird seat. They also pay a dividend. The cash flow per share has increased every year so this dividend can increase if mgt allows. Payout ratio is only 27% so there is room to grow the dividend. |

At our last meeting, a club that I'm in voted to purchase ACN at a price not to exceed $36. Our order executed today ... |

Is ACN similar to INFY in financial strength? (see below). Has it been in a downward trend or holding it's own during the recent market upheaval? |

| I recently did a stock study on ACN for our model club and received all kind of flak because the figures were so different than the S & P figures. Why are the figures so different especially in shares outstanding, eps,sales, net profit and tax rate. Everyone said my figures were flawed but agreed that it was a good buy. |

If they thought the numbers were flawed how did they make the judgement that it was a good buy? |

They downloaded from the BI site and their stock prices and shares outstanding were different. They were so sure that their figures were right that you couldn't get a word in.
Either way using S&P or Hemscott it still worked in the buy range. |
