Getting more extended from any sound base with today's 8th consecutive gain. Held its ground stubbornly following a "breakaway gap" on 8/01/18. Reported earnings +40% on +17% sales for the Jun '18 quarter, its 2nd quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) of the fact-based system. Companies currently on the Featured Stocks list are ideal candidates fitting the fact-based investment system's guidelines before becoming heavily owned by the institutional crowd.

Hitting another new all-time high today, getting very extended from any sound base. It has not formed a sound base since noted with caution in the 7/27/18 mid-day report - "Held its ground stubbornly and made steady progress after a big gap up 4/20/18.
