GEO Group (GEO): A 'steal' in for-profit prisons

"With state governments going bankrupt, the last thing bureaucrats want to do is spend precious resources on managing their prison systems," explains growth stock expert Marc Lichtenfeld.

The senior analyst for Xcelerated Profits Report suggests, "For-profit institutions are usually able to provide prison services more efficiently than the government can. And there's one company that stands out -- The GEO Group (NYSE: GEO)."

"Nearly two-and-a-half million people are behind bars in American prisons. The U.S. incarceration rate is five times higher than the world average and the U.S. prison population is still rising.

"It's no secret that the world is facing a severe water shortage; many experts, believe the next major war will be fought over water, not oil," says Marc Lichtenfeld.

"Carl Icahn - one of Wall Street's most renowned and successful investors - is on another mission; this pitbull is sinking his teeth into one of the companies in our portfolio - Enzon Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ENZN)," notes Marc Lichtenfeld.

In Xcelerated Profits Report, the senior analyst and noted healthcare sector expert takes a look at the small cap biotechnology, which is involved in developing products for the treatment of cancer.

"With an infamous reputation for diving into stocks that he perceives as undervalued and shaking up management teams in order to boost shareholder value, Icahn us one of the best 'business partners' we could have.

"One of the big reasons why we recommended Enzon was because some major institutional investors are clamoring for change at the company. They contend that if Enzon was better at maximizing its true potential, the stock could easily vault from its current undervalued state and generate some real wealth for its shareholders.
