Most Recent Note - 1/25/2013 12:29:04 PM Y - Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 3/19/12 high plus 10 cents. Hit a new 52-week high today, and a strong close above its pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may clinch a technical buy signal. Recent gains lacked great volume conviction while wedging above previously stubborn resistance in the $31 area. Quarterly earnings increases above the +25% guideline satisfy the C criteria. Annual earnings (A criteria) have been improving steadily after a worrisome downturn in FY '08. Its small supply of 15.9 million shares could contribute to greater price volatility.
