G - Pulling back with above average volume today. Prior highs near $186 and its 50 DMA line define important support to watch. Reported earnings +89% on +83% sales revenues for the Jun '16 quarter, continuing its strong earnings track record. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. Disciplined investors avoid chasing stocks that are extended more than +5% above the prior high or pivot point.
