ALGT - NASDAQ - TRANSPORTATION - Regional Airlines Allegiant Travel Company	$124.84	-2.56 -2.01%	$127.16	$128.39	-2.77%	84,682 79.89%	106,000
Most Recent Note for ALGT - 8/21/2014 12:02:26 PM Pulling back from its 52-week high today after 3 consecutive gains. Reported earnings +39% on +14% sales revenues for the Jun '14 quarter but prior quarterly comparisons were below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). The previously noted downturn in FY '10 and '11 earnings is a flaw concerning the A criteria so, fundamentally, it is not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines.

Most Recent Note for CCF - 8/21/2014 12:10:29 PM Recently wedging near its 52-week high with gains lacking great volume conviction while very little overhead supply remains to act as resistance.

Found support at its 200 DMA line during its consolidation since last noted with caution in the 7/03/14 mid-day report - "Sub par sales revenues growth hinting that there is not great demand for any new (N criteria) products or services. Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been improving after a downturn in FY '09."

Most Recent Note for CMG - 8/21/2014 12:12:10 PM Held its ground and wedged higher since a considerable "breakaway gap" for a new 52-week high when last noted in the 7/22/14 mid-day report with caution - "Reported earnings +23% on +29% sales revenues for the Jun '14 quarter. Fundamental concerns remain, as quarterly earnings were below the +25% minimum in 3 of the past 4 prior quarterly comparisons, not satisfying the C criteria.

Most Recent Note for DISCK - 8/21/2014 12:18:05 PM Rallied to a new 52-week high with 6 consecutive gains since testing support at its 200 DMA line on 8/13/14 when it managed a "positive reversal" from early lows. Prior mid-day reports cautioned members - "Earnings have not been strong and steady above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) in the past 3-4 quarterly comparisons versus the year ago periods with solid sales revenues growth and acceleration. Ownership by top-rated funds fell from 462 in Sep '13 to 403 in Jun '14, not a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria."

Its erratic annual earnings (A criteria) history does not match the fact-based investment system's guidelines.
