Most Recent Note for ACN - 6/29/2011 12:34:16 PM
Holding its ground today after a gap up on the prior session, breaking away from a sound base pattern for a new 52-week high with a volume-driven 7th consecutive gain. Reported earnings +32% on +21% sales revenues for the quarter ended May 31, 2011 versus the year ago period, and recent quarterly comparisons show encouraging acceleration. Recent mid-day reports noted - "Earnings history is below the fact-based investment system's guidelines but showed recent improvement. Since it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 9/11/08 it survived but failed to impress."

Most Recent Note for ALLT - 6/29/2011 12:41:31 PM
Recent quarters showed sales revenues and earnings improving. Its considerable gain with above average volume helped it break out to a new 52-week high on the prior session. Its choppy consolidation prior to the breakout included slumps well below its 50 DMA line. No overhead supply remains to hinder its progress now, but as noted in prior mid-day reports - "This low-priced Israeli Computer - Networking firm does not have a good annual earnings history (A criteria)."

Most Recent Note for AN - 6/29/2011 12:47:33 PM
Hitting a new 52-week high today with a 3rd consecutive gain. Rising further after a brief bout of distributional pressure following its 6/22/11 gap up and technical breakout from a "double bottom" base pattern. Recent quarterly comparisons showed improving sales revenues and mostly strong earnings increases above the +25% guideline. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history included a downturn in FY '08, considered a flaw in its fundamentals under the fact-based investment system.

Noted in prior mid-day reports - "Low-priced Telecom -Fiber Optics firm has shown minuscule revenues but improving sales revenues and earnings in the 3 latest quarterly comparisons.

Hitting another new 52-week and all-time high today, wedging higher after forming a short flat base well above prior highs and its 50 DMA line. No overhead supply remains to act as resistance. Reported earnings +34% on +14% sales revenues for the quarter ended April 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Good annual earnings history and quarterly earnings increases above the +25% meet the investment system's C and A guidelines, however sales revenues have shown just steady increases in the +12-14% range.

Most Recent Note for DMND - 6/29/2011 1:00:20 PM
Hit a new 52-week high today, rising from a short "square-box" type base pattern. The 6/28/11 mid-day report noted - "It has spent very little time consolidating during its ascent since its 4/05/11 gap up on news it would buy Procter & Gamble's Pringles. Strong earnings history in recent years (A criteria). Earnings rose +73% on +61% sales revenues in the quarter ended April 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. The Dec '10 quarter also showed strong increases, but quarterly earnings were reported at -24% for the Oct '10 period, a flaw in its otherwise impressive earnings history. Small supply of only 22 million outstanding shares (S criteria) could contribute to greater volatility in the event of any institutional maneuvering."

Considerable gains for a 3rd day in a row backed by above average volume helped it hit new 52-week highs. The 6/28/11 mid-day report noted - "Recent quarterly comparisons show sales revenues and earnings increases improving, but a downturn in FY '09 earnings is a flaw with respect to the A criteria.

Hit a new 52-week high today after gapping up following an analyst upgrade. Technically it is clearing a brief consolidation above prior highs and its 50 DMA line while posting a 2nd consecutive gain backed by above average volume. Prior mid-day reports noted - "It reported earnings +43% on +24% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. Recent quarterly comparisons show sales revenues accelerating and earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline versus the year earlier, making it a better match with the winning models of the fact-based investment system."

Rallying above its 50 DMA line with its 3rd consecutive gain and now perched only -2.1% off its 52-week high. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Recent quarters showed much better sales and earnings increases versus the year earlier. Prior quarterly comparisons and annual earnings (A criteria) growth have not been strong and steady, so it is fundamentally below guidelines of the fact-based investment system."

Perched at its 52-week high today after 2 consecutive volume-driven gains helped it make progress. It held its ground in a tight range in recent weeks, but made little progress while unhindered by overhead supply, meanwhile prior mid-day reports noted - "Quarterly earnings increases have been strong in recent comparisons although sales revenues increases have been only in the +1-7% range and its annual earnings (A criteria) history includes a downturn in FY '09 earnings, leaving fundamental concerns."

Most Recent Note for MKTX - 6/29/2011 1:24:37 PM
This week's gains are helping it inch up near its 52-week high hit when noted in the 4/04/11 mid-day report. In the interim it had slumped near its 200 DMA line, and it also reported earnings +59% on +25% sales revenues for the latest quarter ended March 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. Prior quarterly quarterly comparisons versus the year ago period showed very strong earnings increases (good C criteria) but sales revenues showed deceleration as increases cooled from +42%, +37%, +25%, to +14% over the Mar, Jun, Sep, and Dec '10 quarterly comparisons, respectively. Its history of up and down annual earnings (A criteria) is cause for concern, and the Finance - Investment Bankers industry group currently has a Relative Strength rating of 8 which indicates the group has been a poor performer rather than a strong leader (L criteria).

Holding its ground today near its 52-week high after 4 consecutive gains. Found support well above its 50 DMA line during its consolidation from the prior high which it hit when noted in the 6/06/11 mid-day report - "No resistance remains due to overhead supply after its 5/13/10 IPO and choppy history. Reported earnings +42% on +27% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 versus the year ago period, satisfying the C criteria with 3 consecutive quarters of earnings increases above the +25% guideline. The lack of leadership (L criteria) in the Telecom Services - Wireless and its lack of a strong annual earnings (A criteria) history are concerns."

Rallying to yet another new 52-week high with today's 5th consecutive gain. Above average volume has been behind several of its gains since it held its ground above its 50 DMA line. Distributional pressure has been overcome, however prior mid-day reports have repeatedly noted - "Its up and down annual earnings (questionable A) history is a concern. There is a small supply of only 4.63 million shares in its float, which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. It survived but failed to impress since last noted in the 4/22/08 mid-day report."
