Most Recent Note for AMOT - 12/2/2014 12:11:34 PM Hovering at its 52-week high following volume-driven gains, rallying with no resistance due to overhead supply.

Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has not been strong and steady, so it is fundamentally below guidelines of the fact-based investment system.

Reported earnings +32% on +12% sales revenues for the Jun '14 quarter, but fundamental concerns remain.
