In one of his latest spam-like emails promoting his $5.000 Quantum Growth newsletter Mr. Navellier wrote:

I’m a shrewd investor who eats risk for lunch. That’s why I have no problem offering a no-questions-asked money-back guarantee on my Global Growth service. If, after 14 days (or at any point in your trial subscription) you are not completely thrilled with your profits, all you need to do is call, and you'll receive a complete 100% refund—no questions asked. After all, over the past 10 years, my system has not only beaten the S&P 500 by $30-to-$1, but has delivered 1,600% returns thanks to great trades...

Today I would like to tell you about Mr. Navellier's Quantum Growth advices on Western Digital.

It has high Operating, EBITDA and Net Profit Margin. Good EPS and Sales Growth Rates.
Top of industry ROA, ROE and ROI.

As soon as Mr. Navellier will say to sell it, I will jump in.
