Most Recent Note - 10/19/2017 12:25:54 PM G - Still sputtering below its 50 DMA line ($246.24), and its Relative Strength rating has slumped to 76, below the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates. A rebound above that short-term average is needed for its outlook to improve. Subsequent losses below the recent low ($231.53 on 9/25/17) would raise serious concerns and trigger a more worrisome technical sell signal. >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 10/17/2017.

Most Recent Note - 10/19/2017 1:15:28 PM Y - Faces no resistance, however recent gains have been "wedging" with a lack of great volume conviction indicative of fresh institutional buying demand. Gains above the pivot point must have at least +40% above average volume to trigger a proper new (or add-on) technical buy signal under the fact-based investment system. Its 50 DMA line ($205.79) defines important near-term support above the recent low ($195.05 on 9/28/17) where violations would trigger technical sell signals. >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 10/4/2017.
