Just last week, one of those Fools, jwray01, listed several of Ebix's positives for our community:
* lots of insider buying ...
* very little insider selling
* low P/E and consistent earnings growth
* situated in an industry that is likely to grow rapidly unless the government intervenes.
* keeps costs down by hiring people in cheap areas. Risk of government protectionism or rising wages in those countries.
