Weekly new unemployment claims fell 4,000 from last week to hit their lowest level since 2008. Analysts had expected a slight rise to 335,000. The drop brings the less volatile four-week moving average down 6,250 to 336,750 -- the lowest level since 2007 and 30,000 less than last year's average of 360,000-370,000. Fewer unemployment claims signals a strengthening job market, which is welcome news as recent data have shown the economy slowing.

The cancer testing services, that the Com pany offers to community-based pathologists are designed to be a natural extension of, and complementary to, the services that they perform within their own practices. In areas where the Company does not provide services to community-based pathology practices, it may directly serve oncology, dermatology, urology and other clinician practices that prefer to have a direct relationship with a laboratory for cancer-related genetic and molecular testing services. NeoGenomics services these types of clients with a global service offering where it performs both the technical and professional components of the tests ordered.

The Company offers tech-only flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry testing services. These types of testing services generally allow the professional interpretation component of a test to be billed separately from the technical component. Its NeoFISH, NeoFLOW and other tech-only service offerings allow properly trained and credentialed community- based pathologists to extend their own practices by perfor! mi! ng professional interpretations services.

The Company's tech-only services are designed to give pathologists the option to choose, on a case by case basis, whether they want to order just the technical information and images relating to a specific test so they can perform the professional interpretation, or order global services and receive a test report, which includes a NeoGenomics Pathologist�� interpretation of the test results.

The Company also offers a set of global services to meet the needs of those clients who are not credentialed and trained in interpreting genetic tests and who are looking for specialists to interpret the testing results for them. In its global service offerings, its lab performs the technical component of the tests and its doctor of medicine (M.D.s) and doctor of philosophy (Ph.D) s to provide the interpretation services. Its genetic pathology solutions (GPS) report summarizes all relevant case data from its global ser vices on one summary report.

Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By Asit Sharma]

    The airline industry has a singular talent for draining the pockets of well-intentioned investors. Highly leveraged balance sheets and bankruptcies are the norm. Significant labor costs and unpredictable jet fuel prices wreak havoc on variable costs. Yet some airlines generate solid returns quarter after quarter. Alaska Air Group (NYSE: ALK  ) , Ryanair (NASDAQ: RYAAY  ) , Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV  ) , and Copa Holdings (NYSE: CPA  ) each manage to be consistently profitable. Let's examine a few themes they share in common, and zero in on their individual strategic ideas.

Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By Niamh Ring]

    F5 Networks Inc. (FFIV) fell the most in more than two years after the maker of data-management equipment reported preliminary quarterly profit and revenue that missed its forecast as North American sales slowed.

  • [By John Divine]

    The victim of a severe double-whammy, F5 Networks (NASDAQ: FFIV  ) simply got pummeled today, falling 19%, after preliminary quarterly projections caused a flurry of analyst downgrades. In a true sign of just how awful its second quarter guidance was, the network technology provider even dragged down several of its competitors today, as Wall Street worried whether the numbers were an indication of the industry's fundamental health.

  • [By Hilary Kramer]

    A recent pullback on a small guidance miss at F5 Networks (FFIV) is giving us a good entry point that I want us to take advantage of ahead of strong growth catalysts.
