CMCM - NYSE - COMPUTER SOFTWARE & SERVICES - Security Software & Services Cheetah Mobile Inc	$34.31	-0.42 -1.21%	$36.41	$35.00	-1.97%	1,694,914 124.44%	1,362,000
Most Recent Note for CMCM - 5/20/2015 12:15:12 PM Hitting another new 52-week high today while adding to an impressive spurt of volume-driven gains. Technically, it broke out on the prior session from a previously noted 8 month cup shaped base without a handle - not considered a truly sound base pattern under the fact-based investment system. Reported earnings +80% on +113% sales revenues for the Mar '15 quarter. During its recent streak of volume-driven gains prior mid-day reports cautioned members - "Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. Reported strong quarterly earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) in the 3 latest quarterly comparisons through Dec '14. Limited annual earnings (A criteria) history is a concern, while it has made choppy progress since its $14 IPO on 5/08/14."

Its up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history is not a good match with the fact-based investment system."
