Most Recent Note - 5/25/2018 12:53:48 PM Y - Pulling back today after reporting a loss of 7 cents per share on +37% sales revenues versus a loss of 9 cents per share for the year ago period ended April 30th. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. This week it touched a new all-time high but endured distributional pressure. Wedging gains above the stock's pivot point recently were noted when below the +40% above average volume needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal. Prior highs and its 50 DMA line ($106.36) define near term support to watch. >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 4/19/2018. Click here.
