Considerable gain today for new 52-week and all-time highs. Reported earnings +41% on +13% sales revenues for the Sep '13 quarter, marking its 3rd consecutive quarterly comparison with earnings above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history remains a concern, fundamentally. Found support at its 50 DMA line throughout it ascent since last noted with caution in the 10/15/13 mid-day report - "Shares split 2:1 effective 6/27/13. Reported stronger earnings and sales revenues increases in the Mar and Jun '13 quarterly comparisons, but prior quarterly and annual earnings history (C and A criteria) has not been strong and steady enough to meet the investment system's guidelines."

Finding support at its 50 DMA line while consolidating in a tight range since last noted with caution in the 12/19/13 mid-day report - "Completed a new Public Offering on 12/04/13 as it abruptly retreated from its 52-week high and tested support at its 50 DMA line. Reported earnings +20% on +16% sales for the Sep '13 quarter, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Sub par sales revenues growth is a sign there is no great demand for any new (bad N criteria) products or services. Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been below the investment system guidelines."

Found support at its 50 DMA line after 2 consecutive damaging volume-driven losses.

Its Relative Strength rank has improved to 80, and bullish action may be of some interest to technical traders, however fundamental concerns remain. Reported earnings -6% on +19% sales revenues for the Jun '13 quarter since last noted with caution in the 7/19/13 mid-day report - 'Reported earnings +15% on +31% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period.

Hovering near its 52-week high today, still holding its ground stubbornly following an impressive spurt of considerable volume-driven gains. Reported earnings +10% on +25% sales for the Sep '13 quarter, its 2nd consecutive quarterly comparison below the +25% minimum earnings growth guideline (C criteria). Fundamental concerns remain, as when noted in prior mid-day reports with caution - "Quarterly and annual earnings history (C and A criteria) remains a concern. Sales revenues and earnings growth slumped below guidelines after it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 6/17/09. It had just been featured in the May 2009 issue of CANSLIM.net News (read here)."

Perched near its all-time high with no resistance remaining due to overhead supply.

Perched at its 52-week high, holding its ground following a considerable volume-driven gain. Found support near its 50 DMA line during its recent consolidation. Its annual earnings (the A criteria) history showed a downturn in 2012, leaving fundamental concerns. After a streak of negative quarterly sales revenues and earnings comparisons it showed great improvements in the Mar, Jun, Sep, and Dec '13 quarters. Its small supply of 30.1 million shares (the S criteria) outstanding could contribute to especially great volatility in the event of institutional accumulation or distribution. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 312 in Mar '13 to 391 in Dec '13, which is good news concerning the I criteria. Survived but failed to impress since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 7/31/09.

The Israel-based Medical - Generic Drugs firm faced no resistance due to overhead supply when noted in prior mid-day reports with caution. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares from 2 in Mar '12 to 23 as of Jun '13, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria."
