On 7/8/09, Pro-Active research initiated coverage of CareView with a Speculative Buy rating, but without a price target at this time and noted that the stock may be suitable only for aggressive investors at this stage of development considering its valuation as a multiple of sales, pink sheet trading status, and low trading volumes. However, the Company has attracted a distinguished team of directors and advisers in addition to offering a unique product offering that fills a need for healthcare facilities which has the potential for much broader market acceptance in the Health IT (information technology) industry.
