Most Recent Note for AZO - 5/25/2012 12:24:49 PM Still sputtering below its 50 DMA line and prior lows since its damaging volume-driven loss on 5/17/12. It made little headway after last noted when hitting a new 52-week high with a volume-driven gain in the 4/26/12 mid-day report - "Reported earnings +24% on +9% sales revenues for the quarter ended January 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. It has shown strong annual earnings (A criteria) growth while its quarterly increases have been borderline with the minimum +25% guideline for the C criteria. It is already heavily owned by mutual funds. While consumers are fixing their old cars and holding off on new car purchases, AZO and similar players in the auto-repair arena have shown some leadership."

Its report of earnings +7% on +6% sales revenues for the quarter ended Dec 31, 2011 versus the year ago period marked its first quarterly comparison with earnings below the +25% minimum guideline in years. Very little overhead supply remains to act as resistance up through the $24 area. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Its earnings history has been strong, but the lack of sales revenues growth raises concerns that there is not great or growing demand for a new (N criteria) product or services."

Most Recent Note for DORM - 5/25/2012 12:32:42 PM Hovering -7.0% off its 52-week and all-time highs today, but it has slumped below its 50 DMA line while encountering recent distributional pressure, negating a short-lived breakout since last noted in the 5/11/12 mid-day report - "It has earned high ranks however its earnings history is not a good match with the fact-based system's guidelines. Went through a long consolidation and slumped below its 200 DMA line from the old high which was hit when noted in the 12/07/10 mid-day report - 'Extended from prior chart highs in the $25-26 area. It rallied from an inverse-head-and-shoulders type pattern since finding support at its 200 DMA following the previously noted 'breakaway gap' on 4/27/10. Leadership in the Auto/Truck - Replacement Parts group (L criteria) is a reassuring sign. The C criteria is satisfied as recent quarterly comparisons show earnings increases above the +25% guideline on +15%-20% better sales versus the year ago period. Its up and down annual earnings history (A criteria) is a concern.'"

Most Recent Note for LOPE - 5/25/2012 12:37:05 PM Consolidating above its 50 DMA line today, holding its ground near its new 52-week high since last noted in the 5/09/12 mid-day report while tallying a 2nd consecutive volume-driven gain - "It found support near its 200 DMA line while forming an orderly base pattern in recent months.

Most Recent Note for PETM - 5/25/2012 12:40:27 PM Pulling back slightly today after a considerable gap up gain and volume-driven rally for new 52-week highs this week blasting from below its 50 DMA line after damaging distributional losses.
