Symbol - Exchange - Industry Group Company Name	Last	Chg	Day High	52 WK Hi	% From Hi	Volume % DAV	DAV
AMGN - NASDAQ - DRUGS - Biotechnology Amgen Inc	$190.39	-1.51 -0.79%	$194.18	$210.19	-9.42%	1,589,580 50.75%	3,132,000
Most Recent Note for AMGN - 1/3/2019 12:39:46 PM Sputtering near its 200 DMA line. Reported earnings +13% on +2% sales revenues for the Sep '18 quarter, and prior quarters were not strong and steady above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). It has a slow and steady annual earnings (A criteria) history. Not a match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines.

AVGO - NASDAQ - ELECTRONICS - Semiconductor - Integrated Circuits Broadcom Inc	$237.26	-16.25 -6.41%	$246.54	$274.26	-13.49%	2,511,239 64.06%	3,920,000
Most Recent Note for AVGO - 1/3/2019 12:40:52 PM Abruptly pulling back near its 50 and 200 DMA lines. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Went through a choppy consolidation after dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 1/25/18, and it still faces resistance due to overhead supply up to the $285 level. Earnings increases have been mostly above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) in quarterly comparisons through Oct '18, but deceleration in its sales revenues growth rate has been noted."

BSTC - NASDAQ - Medical-Biomed/Biotech Biospecifics Technologie	$60.80	+0.81 1.35%	$61.10	$66.21	-8.17%	20,240 51.90%	39,000
Most Recent Note for BSTC - 1/3/2019 12:43:03 PM Thinly traded Biomed/Biotech firm is consolidating near its 50 DMA line.

Sales revenues growth showed acceleration, but quarterly totals have been in the $7-8 million range, still rather minuscule in the context of all publicly traded companies.
