Children's book publishers as far as the stock market is concerned, find few other companies pubicly-held. This would suggest lack of competition in some areas. The niche that book publishers find in the global media business can be quite secure and offer growth potential. One such Oklahoma-based company is Educational Development Corporation (EDUC) which has been around for quite a while, but because of its small size has been overlooked. Its earnings growth, dividend growth, and now its stock chart are becoming harder to overlook even as its smaller average daily trading volume keeps it out of the limelight to some degree. Researchers are beginning to wake up to the fact of the potential of this stock recently.

Our recent article on Educational Development Corporation (EDUC) is in the Archives Section Below.

Note: Zenith tries to pick only stocks which are shortable, but sometimes stocks appear afterward on the SEC Regulation SHO list of stocks which are not shortable, which is beyond our control. On some stocks, Zenith may hold more than the number of shares it trades in its inventory. Thus the "short" sale of such a security would technically not be a "short" sale for us and not subject to SEC rules regarding selling securities which are not deliverable. Also, stocks pop on and off the list available for shorting on successive days, so the presence of a stock on the current SHO list doesn't mean it was there at the time it was shorted.
