Just yesterday, one of those bulls, MichiganMan08, tapped the stock as a rather timely bargain opportunity:
After the recent dip in price I think the stock is currently under priced. [I'd] be very [surprised] if their government revenue declined. Satellite imagery will always be used and commercial companies have to be a much cheaper method than using [government] owned satellites. I dont see this company going away anytime soon.
If you want market-topping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Owning exceptional stocks is a surefire way to secure your financial future. Of course, despite a strong five-star rating, GeoEye may not be your top choice.
