Most Recent Note - 8/30/2017 12:44:34 PM G - Still quietly consolidating near its 50 DMA line ($100.56) which recently acted as resistance when rebounding. Encountered distributional pressure since highlighted in yellow in the 7/31/17 mid-day report with pivot point cited based on its high hit on 5/01/17 plus 10 cents. Failed to produce confirming gains since repeatedly noted - "Subsequent gains and a strong finish above its pivot point may clinch a convincing technical buy signal. Small supply of only 6 million shares in the public float (S criteria) can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling." >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 7/31/2017.

Reported earnings +29% on +21% sales revenues for the Jul '17 quarter, continuing its strong earnings track record. In recent weeks it failed to produce confirming gains above the latest pivot point backed by at least the minimum +40% above average volume necessary to trigger a proper new (or add-on) technical buy signal. >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 8/10/2017.
