Most Recent Note for CMCM - 5/19/2015 12:02:52 PM Spiking to new 52-week highs with today's considerable volume-driven gain, technically breaking out from an 8 month cup shaped base without a handle, not considered a sound base pattern.

Limited annual earnings (A criteria) history is a concern, while it has made choppy progress since its $14 IPO on 5/08/14."
