With the FactSet price in the low $50's, has anyone decided to buy?  Are their other considerations beyond those already discussed that I should be considering in my analysis?

It is mighty tempting at today's price Betty!  I know that Mark Robertson's Challenge Club sold it in the fall (I think) because they felt it was overvalued.  Good call for them.  I don't know what to think about today's prices.

One of my clubs is looking at FDS this month, too. I'll let you know what we decide after our meeting next week.

FDS appeared on the January 2008 Complete Roster of Quality Companies, with a Quality Index of 10.

Also, the Investor Advisory Service had it at a buy up to $62 in the January 2008 issue (which came out before Christmas), but we'll have to wait and see if they have any comment on the price drop in the February issue (which is scheduled for 01/25/2008).

For more research, see the links on the StockCentral Research page for FDS.
