Most Recent Note for AAP - 1/6/2012 12:19:30 PM
Challenging its 52-week and all-time high today with a 3rd consecutive gain after building an orderly flat base above its 50 DMA line. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Went through a deep consolidation below its 200 DMA line since noted in the 5/17/11 mid-day report - 'Recent quarterly comparisons showed strong earnings, however sub par sales revenues growth has been a concern while increases have been in the +7-11% range. Autozone Inc (AZO) and similar players (MNRO & ORLY) in the auto-repair arena have been noted in recent months while consumers have been fixing their old cars instead of buying new cars they cannot afford.'"

Most Recent Note for AMT - 1/6/2012 12:26:01 PM
Found support at its 50 DMA line again when pulling back from its 52-week high, encountering mild distributional pressure. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Reported a loss versus year ago earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Quarterly earnings increases for the Mar '11 and Jun '11 periods were previously noted as below the investment system's guidelines, yet its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong."

Perched at its 52-week high following volume-driven breakout gains this week. No overhead supply remains to act as resistance.

No overhead supply remains to act as resistance and today's 4th consecutive gain with above average volume has it rallying within close striking distance of its 52-week high. This MLP in the Energy - Coal industry has an annual earnings (A criteria) history that has been strong following a downturn in FY '08. Its +12% earnings increase for the Jun '11 quarter was below the +25% guideline of the fact-based investment system, however most recent quarterly comparisons showed strong sales revenues and earnings increases.

Most Recent Note for ASPS - 1/6/2012 12:36:18 PM
Holding its ground in a very tight trading range, building an advanced "3 weeks tight" base pattern above its 50 DMA line. Last noted in the 12/15/11 mid-day report - "Rallied to new all-time high territory with a recent spurt of volume-driven gains. Technically, it broke out with a considerable gain on 10/27/11. Quarterly earnings increases have been mostly strong and backed by solid sales revenues increases, but the -16% earnings in its Jun '11 quarter is a flaw concerning the C criteria. This Luxembourg-based Financial Services firm's small supply (S criteria) of only 16.2 million shares in the public float can contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. ASPS was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/07/10 then violated its 200 DMA with a streak of volume-driven losses, and it subsequently rebounded back above its 200 DMA and 50 DMA lines."

Making a 2nd mid-day report appearance of the New Year perched within close striking distance of its 52-week high. The 1/04/12 mid-day report noted - "Its annual earnings history (A criteria) has been erratic and below the fact-based system's guidelines. It survived but failed to impress since last noted in the 4/11/08 mid-day report."

Most Recent Note for DLA - 1/6/2012 12:48:01 PM
Still perched within close striking distance of its 52-week high with no overhead supply to act as resistance. After a choppy 5-month consolidation during which it found support near its 200 DMA line prior mid-day reports have repeatedly noted - "Quarterly earnings increases were well above the +25% guideline in the 3 latest comparisons through September '11. Annual earnings (A criteria) improved following a downward turn in FY '08. Ownership by top-rated funds rose from 88 in Mar '11 to 117 in Sep '11, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. The small supply (S criteria) of only 7.12 million shares in the public float can lead to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling."

Hovering within striking distance of its 52-week high. Found support near its 200 DMA line and showed generally bullish action in recent months. The same applies today for this Utility - Electric Power firm which was noted in prior mid-day reports - "Recent quarters show improving earnings but its sales and prior earnings history are below the investment system's guidelines. Current earnings per share should be up 25% or more and in many cases accelerating in recent quarters. Quarterly sales should also be up 25% or more or accelerating over prior quarters."

Reported earnings +57% on +33% sales revenues for the quarter ended October 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. Found bullish support near its 50 DMA line on pullbacks since noted prior mid-day reports - "Recent quarterly comparisons showed stronger increases in sales revenues and improved earnings but its annual earnings (A criteria) history has not met the fact-based investment system's guidelines."

Volume-driven gains for a 4th consecutive session have it surging to new all-time highs this week. Showed bullish action above its 50 DMA line since last noted in the 11/01/11 mid-day report after technically breaking out of a 17-week "double bottom" base pattern during which it found support near its 200 DMA line - "Strength and leadership (L criteria) in the HMO group is a reassuring sign. Sub par sales revenues and quarterly earnings increases raise fundamental concerns. Its annual earnings history is marred by a downturn in FY '08 earnings after years of steady growth."

Most Recent Note for JAZZ - 1/6/2012 1:17:28 PM
Today's gap up for a 3rd consecutive volume-driven gain has helped it rebound to nearly challenge prior highs. Working up through overhead supply, it still faces previous resistance in the $46-47 area. Poor technical action prompted it to be dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/03/11, and it subsequently found support near its 200 DMA line during its deep consolidation. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history is limited, however quarterly comparisons have shown strong sales revenues and earnings (good C criteria) increases and its FY '10 earnings followed losses in prior years.

Holding its ground since a "negative reveral" after spiking into new high territory this week. Prior highs in the $65 area define a chart support level to watch above its 50 DMA line. Healthy action has followed its considerable "breakaway gap" since noted in the 10/27/11 mid-day report - "Hitting a new 52-week high. Reported earnings +65% on +100% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period, its second consecutive strong quarterly report. Prior quarterly comparisons showed sub par sales and earnings results and its annual earnings (A criteria) history is not a match with the winning models of the fact-based system. It survived but failed to impress since it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 6/12/2008. Traded up as much as +21.5% after first featured at $50.74 in the 3/18/08 CANSLIM.net Mid-Day BreakOuts Report (read here)."

Quarterly earnings increases have been erratic and its annual earnings had a downward turn in FY '09 which is a flaw concerning the A criteria. Its sub par fundamentals are below the investment system guidelines. On 2/28/08 it was dropped from the CANSLIM.net Featured Stocks list and fundamentals subsequently turned south."

Hitting new 52-week highs with a 2nd consecutive gain with volume running at an above average pace. In prior weeks it wedged higher without great volume conviction and found support near its 50 DMA line and prior chart highs. Prior mid-day reports noted - "The previously noted 10/24/11 technical breakout helped it rally clear of resistance due to overhead supply. Recent quarters showed great earnings increases but its lackluster sales revenues growth and prior earnings history (including a downward turn in FY '09 earnings) make it a sub par candidate."

The 1/05/12 mid-day report noted - "Reported earnings +19% on +18% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Went through a deep consolidation since noted in the 6/03/11 mid-day report - 'With a considerable gain after announcing a 2:1 stock split and 20 percent increase in its quarterly dividend. Found support near its 50 DMA line last week while consolidating and building on an orderly base. Ownership interest by top-rated funds fell from 397 in Jun '10 to 364 in Mar '11, which is not reassuring concerning the I criteria. Earnings increases in recent comparisons have been mostly above the +25% guideline but sales revenues increases in the +5-11% range have been sub par.'"
