Most Recent Note - 7/20/2021 11:54:17 AM Y - Posting a 4th consecutive gain today and hitting a new all-time high. Wedging into new high territory with gains in recent weeks lacking great volume conviction. Highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 9/02/20 high plus 10 cents. A gain and strong close above the pivot point cited backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a convincing new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Fundamentals remain strong after reporting very strong Apr '21 quarterly results. >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 7/6/2021. Click here.
