Please do an analysis on CBST first.

It had a good quarterly earnings announcement today. Is it worth buying at this price and is it good for long term holding?

I have reservation on your comments about IBD. I'm a subscriber of IBD for several years now. The reason it includes those easy to crash stocks in the IBD100 index is to take advantage of the benefit of short squeeze. Once the short squeeze is over, it removes the stock from the index. As you may have known, when all the long and short interests are concentrated on a few stocks, they can move up several hundred percent within a very short period of time. Usually most of those stocks are thinly traded and have few analysts covering them. The stocks listed in IBD 100 are never intended for long term holding. But the performance of the IBD100 index is quite good over the years. It's outperforming all the major indexes again this year. So the key here is to learn all the tricks to play the market, but not to focus on the large number of stocks that have collapsed after appearing on the list.
