Most Recent Note for ARII - 1/30/2013 11:53:49 AM
Found support at its 50 DMA line recently and then rallied. Hitting another new 52-week high today after a considerable volume-driven gain on the prior session. Repeatedly noted with caution since the 11/14/12 mid-day report after rallying from near its 200 DMA line - "Recent quarterly comparisons showed improved sales and earnings increases, however fundamental concerns remain. Earnings history has been erratic, not a match with the investment system's guidelines."

Pulling back today following a considerable gap up and volume-driven gain on the prior session, technically breaking out and hitting a new 52-week high. The 1/29/13 mid-day report noted - "Reported strong sales revenues and earnings increases for the Dec '12 quarter, continuing its recent trend of greatly improved earnings satisfying the C criteria. It may be an interesting turnaround story as it has made gradual progress, and found support at its 200 DMA line when consolidating, since last noted in the 4/23/12 mid-day report with caution - 'Fundamentals are not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines. It survived but failed to impress since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 7/06/05."

Reported earnings +65% on +39% sales revenues for the quarter ended Sep 30, 2012 versus the year ago period.

Based on weak action it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/03/08 and fundamentals deteriorated afterward while it slumped from above $21 to as low as $8.57 before rebounding."

Considerable gap up and volume-driven gain for a new 52-week high today. Reported earnings +18% on +14% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 versus the year ago period, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline for a 3rd consecutive quarterly comparison.

Hitting yet another new 52-week high today while on a 12th consecutive gain. Its Sep and Dec '12 quarterly reports showed strong sales revenues and earnings increases versus the year ago periods, however, negative comparisons in prior quarters are the reason prior mid-day reports repeatedly cautioned - "Quarterly and annual earnings (C and A criteria) history is not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines. It faces resistance due to overhead supply up through the $44 area."

Gapped down today, encountering distributional pressure and testing support near its 50 DMA line. Reported earnings +78% on +25% sales for the Dec '12 quarter marking its 3rd consecutive quarterly comparison with earnings above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Rebounded impressively from support at its 200 DMA line and wedged to new highs with gains lacking great volume conviction since last noted with caution in the 12/19/12 mid-day report - "Prior growth has not been strong and steady. Survived but failed to impress since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/02/08. Today its fundamentals are below the investment system guidelines. Members may view its Company Profile page under the 'Featured Articles and Daily Graphs' tab when the last FSU article under the headline, 'Pulling Parachute Early Can Spare Yourself Some Pain', gives a clear look back at its prior breakdown - an example why losses should always be limited at 7-8%."

Encountering more distributional pressure and retreating from its 52-week high with today's 4th consecutive loss backed by above average volume. Last week's big volume-driven gains were noted as it reported strong sales and earnings increases for the Dec '12 quarter, accelerating after a streak of sub par quarterly earnings comparisons (bad C criteria). It survived but failed to impress since noted in the 6/01/11 mid-day report with caution - "Reported earnings +92% on +43% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. This Israeli manufacturer of Computer- Networking devices had slumped below its 50 DMA line since noted in the 1/28/11 mid-day report - 'The 3 latest quarterly comparisons show improving sales and earnings, but prior earnings history (A criteria had a downturn in FY '09) has been below the fact-based investment system's guidelines.'"

Rebounding today following a worrisome "negative reversal" and weak finish on the prior session after hitting a new 52-week high. The 1/29/13 mid-day report cautioned - "Reported earnings +28% on +2% sales revenues for the Dec '12 quarter. Lackluster sales revenues growth history makes it not a good match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines as it reveals no great demand for new (N criteria)products or services. Recently making a little progress above multi-year resistance in the $19 area, and it found support near its upward sloping 50 DMA line."
