Strattec Security Corp (STRT  +$0.36 or +0.42% to $86.04) is hovering at its 52-week high, pausing after recent gains. It is extended from its prior base. Prior highs in the $74-77 area  define initial support to watch on pullbacks. It held its ground stubbornly and made gradual progress since last shown in this FSU section on 8/22/14 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Small Supply of Shares and Perched Near All-Time Highs".

It was first highlighted in yellow at $71.47 with pivot point based on its 6/06/14 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). While currently perched at new highs (N criteria) no overhead supply remains to act as resistance. Disciplined investors avoid chasing extended stocks, so patient investors may watch for a secondary buy point or new base to possibly form and be noted in the weeks ahead.

Quarterly earnings increases through Jun '14 above the +25% minimum guideline satisfy the C criteria and its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong. Increasing ownership by top-rated funds (I criteria) is a reassuring sign. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 59 in Sep '14 to 133 in Jun '14, a very reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.4 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. The Auto/Truck - Original Equipment group's strong Group Relative Strength rank is a reassuring sign concerning the L criteria. The thinly-traded stock has a small supply (S criteria) of only 3.34 million shares in the public float which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
