Found support above its 200 DMA while consolidating since noted in the 10/31/11 mid-day report - 'Reported earnings +25% on +24% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Found support well above its 200 DMA line during its consolidation since fundamental concerns prompted it to be dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 8/02/11. Reported earnings per share +12% on +22% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 versus the year ago period, marking its 2nd consecutive quarterly comparison with earnings below the +25% guideline.
