Ezcorp Inc (EZPW +$0.30 or +1.43% to $21.22) is a high-ranked Finance - Consumer/Commercial Loans firm that is now quietly consolidating well above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and its recent chart low ($19.73 on 3/16/10) which define near-term support above prior chart highs.  It is extended from its latest sound base of support. As previously noted, "Since it managed to top its 2008 all-time high, no resistance remains due to overhead supply, but disciplined investors avoid chasing extended stocks trading more than +5% above prior chart highs."
