Most Recent Note - 10/24/2017 12:33:57 PM Y - Hitting yet another new all-time high with today's 3rd consecutive gain. Faces no resistance, however, recent gains have been "wedging" with a lack of volume conviction indicative of great 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 ($206.86) 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.
