Most Recent Note for CMI - 1/31/2011 12:58:25 PM Perched near its all-time high today, holding its ground stubbornly near its 50 DMA line.

However, its lack of sales revenues growth in prior comparisons and downward turn in FY '09 earnings (A criteria) make it fall below the fundamental guidelines of the fact-based investment system."

Most Recent Note for GPOR - 1/31/2011 1:05:36 PM Hit a new 52-week high today with a considerable gain helping it break out from a sound base pattern above its 50 DMA line.

Prior quarterly comparisons and annual earnings (A criteria) growth have not been strong and steady, so it is fundamentally below guidelines of the fact-based investment system. Since last noted in the 12/06/10 mid-day report it proposed another Secondary Offering on 12/14/10. It was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 11/8/07, very soon after it had been featured in the October '07 CANSLIM.net News (read here). It completed a Public Offering on 5/14/10 and at least one other offering following the three offerings visible on the chart in the old report. As previously noted - "Cynical analysts might ask how many times this OK-based Oil/Gas firm might 'go to the well' for more investor money."

Most Recent Note for IIVI - 1/31/2011 1:13:59 PM Enduring mild distributional pressure after recently reaching new 52-week and multi-year highs.

Advancing steadily since the 11/16/10 mid-day report noted -"It faces no resistance due to overhead supply, but its erratic fundamentals are a concern. Recent quarterly comparisons show great sales revenues and earnings increases following a downward turn and streak of many negative comparisons after it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/02/08."

Most Recent Note for PLL - 1/31/2011 1:21:05 PM Considerable "breakaway gap" today, blasting from support at its 50 DMA line to a new all-time high.

Sales revenues increases have been in the +3-11% range while quarterly earnings increases have been above the +25% guideline in the 3 latest comparisons (C criteria) versus the year ago period."
