The 3 latest quarterly comparisons earnings increases were above the +25% guideline satisfying the C criteria. Downturn in FY '10 earnings is a flaw concerning the A criteria of the fact-based investment system's guidelines. It survived but failed to impress since noted in the 5/01/2009 mid-day report - 'Its up and down annual earnings history (the A criteria) is a concern.'"
