Symbol - Exchange - Industry Group Company Name	Last	Chg	Day High	52 WK Hi	% From Hi	Volume % DAV	DAV
AZO - NYSE - RETAIL - Auto Parts Stores Autozone Inc	$345.34	+0.90 0.26%	$346.00	$346.00	-0.19%	215,504 66.95%	321,900
Most Recent Note for AZO - 1/17/2012 11:49:28 AM Inching higher for another new 52-week high today while trading up for a 9th consecutive gain. Promptly rebounded above its 50 DMA line following a recent "shakeout" below that short-term average and prior chart lows. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Reported earnings +24% on +7% sales revenues for the quarter ended October 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. Quarterly comparisons show deceleration in its earnings and sales revenues increases. It is heavily owned by mutual funds already, yet top-rated funds owning shares rose from 878 in Dec '10 to 1,023 in Sep '11, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. While consumers are fixing their old cars and holding off on new car purchases, AZO and similar players in the auto-repair arena have shown some leadership."

BWLD - NASDAQ - LEISURE - Restaurants Buffalo Wild Wings Inc	$65.02	-0.69 -1.05%	$66.47	$70.47	-7.73%	303,438 79.71%	380,700
Most Recent Note for BWLD - 1/17/2012 11:50:51 AM Pulling back today near its 50 DMA line with a 4th consecutive small loss. Reported earnings +30% on +31% sales revenues for the latest quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. It made a stand above the "neckline" defined by its prior low after mid-day reports recently noted - "It has the look of an ominous head-and-shoulders pattern formed over the past 5 months. Reported earnings +16% on +26% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. The company has a strong annual earnings history (A criteria). The C criteria has not been well satisfied by +25% earnings increases in quarterly comparisons. Blue triangles beside the quarterly earnings figure in at least the past 8 comparisons indicate pre-tax, non-recurring items were included (where possible, such items are normally removed to provide data better suited for comparison). The restaurant operator survived but failed to impress as it went through several long and very deep corrections since it was dropped from the CANSLIM.net Featured Stocks List on 8/15/2007."

Ownership by top rated funds fell from 746 in Sep '10 to 579 in June '11. There are fundamental concerns due to pre-tax, non-recurring items included in the past 8 quarterly reports. This is indicated by blue triangles in the earnings per share box on the chart service used by CANSLIM.net experts."

Most Recent Note for NUAN - 1/17/2012 12:03:37 PM Reversed into the red after trading up again earlier today following a streak of 5 small volume-driven gains for new 52-week highs. Found support near its 50 DMA line during its consolidation since noted in the 10/25/11 mid-day report - "Earnings history is below the guidelines of the fact-based system. It priced a $600 million convertible debenture offering last week. It is unhindered by resistance after clearing all overhead supply with its impressive rebound. It survived but failed to impress since last noted when weak action prompted it to be dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 12/12/07."

PNRA - NASDAQ - LEISURE - Specialty Eateries Panera Bread Co Cl A	$149.83	+3.27 2.23%	$150.95	$150.95	-0.74%	257,808 67.68%	380,900
Most Recent Note for PNRA - 1/17/2012 12:08:57 PM Gapped up today after wedging higher last week without great volume conviction while hitting new 52-week and all-time highs. Reported earnings +29% on +22% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has shown steady growth since a small dip in FY '07 earnings. Sales revenues increases showed modest acceleration over the Mar, Jun, and Sep quarterly comparisons versus the year-ago period and earnings increases have been above the +25% guideline with respect to the C criteria. The stock is heavily owned (percentage-wise) by funds relative to its management's small 5% reported ownership. Top-rated funds owning an interest decreased from 482 in Mar '11 to 460 in Dec '11, which is not good news concerning the I criteria.

Most Recent Note for TNH - 1/17/2012 12:14:34 PM While perched within striking distance of its 52-week high it encountered distributional pressure last week, yet today's gain has it currently poised for its second-best close ever. Reported earnings +179% on +49% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Its high was hit when noted in the 8/31/11 mid-day report - "Reported earnings +78% on +19% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 versus the year ago period and recent quarters were strong, but its up and down annual earnings (questionable A) history remains a fundamental concern. There is a small supply of only 4.26 million shares in its float, which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling."

Most Recent Note for UAN - 1/17/2012 12:17:53 PM Recently consolidating above prior highs in the $26 area which may now serve as a chart support level.

Quarterly comparisons show strong sales revenues and earnings increases satisfying the C criteria."
