Symbol - Exchange - Industry Group Company Name	Last	Chg	Day High	52 WK Hi	% From Hi	Volume % DAV	DAV
AAC - NYSE - HEALTH SERVICES - Medical Laboratories & Researc AAC Holdings, Inc	$37.95	+2.26 6.33%	$38.15	$39.05	-2.82%	212,410 101.63%	209,000
Most Recent Note for AAC - 5/21/2015 12:23:02 PM Today's volume-driven gain has it rallying within close striking distance of its 52-week high hit when noted in the 5/18/15 mid-day report. Its very small supply of only 7.86 million shares (S criteria) in the public float can contribute to greater price volatility. Reported earnings +200% on +42% sales revenues for the Mar '14 quarter, its 3rd consecutive quarter with great increases, however, prior mid-day reports cautioned - "Limited history is a concern. Up from its $15* IPO on 10/02/14."*

CMCM - NYSE - COMPUTER SOFTWARE & SERVICES - Security Software & Services Cheetah Mobile Inc	$33.94	-1.14 -3.25%	$34.92	$36.63	-7.34%	1,079,105 75.57%	1,428,000
Most Recent Note for CMCM - 5/21/2015 12:24:34 PM Perched at its 52-week high today following an impressive spurt of volume-driven gains. Technically, it broke out on 5/19/15 rallying 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."

Most Recent Note for CMT - 5/21/2015 12:25:54 PM Hitting yet another new 52-week high with today's 8th consecutive volume-driven gain, very extended from any sound base. Prior mid-day reports repeatedly cautioned members - "Reported earnings +50% on +21% sales revenues for the Mar '15 quarter, its 2nd consecutive quarter with earnings above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) but fundamental concerns remain. Its up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history is not a good match with the fact-based investment system."

Found support at its 50 DMA line during its consolidation after a considerable "breakaway gap" on 2/26/15. The downturn in FY '14 was noted as a flaw in its annual earnings (A criteria) history. It survived but failed to impress since 10/06/10 when this Computer Software -Enterprise firm was dropped from the Featured Stocks list.

Most Recent Note for HCKT - 5/21/2015 12:51:10 PM Consolidating near its 52-week high following a spurt of volume-driven gains.
