Most Recent Note - 1/5/2010 12:27:50 PM G - Gapped up today and hit a new all-time high with volume already more than 3 times average behind its considerable gain. The choppy consolidation over the past 5 weeks involved a -28% pullback, so this was not a sound "flat base" of the minimum length. However, no overhead supply remains and it could go on to produce a "climax run", especially considering its small float of only 4.86 million shares (S criteria). It found prompt support following a sharp pullback to its short-term average line. The Chinese maker of power steering systems had negated most of its bullish action since featured in the 11/30/09 mid-day report (read here). >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 12/29/2009.

Most Recent Note - 1/5/2010 12:28:35 PM G - Hovering near all-time highs, it is extended from its prior base. Previous chart highs near $35-37 are an important support level to watch.

Most Recent Note - 1/5/2010 1:02:28 PM G - Gappped down today with a loss on higher volume negating much of its prior session's considerable gain for a new all-time high. It is extended from a sound buy point after recently rising from a choppy 14-week base. Its 50 DMA line and prior chart highs are initial support levels to watch. A proposed offering of additional shares on 11/16/09 seems well received by the market. Its fundamentals remain strong. >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 12/17/2009. Click here.
