Most Recent Note - 1/31/2012 1:04:52 PM Y - Hit another new 52-week high today but reversed into the red following 4 consecutive gains.

Most Recent Note for AAPL - 1/31/2012 12:06:40 PM Stubbornly holding its ground and rising after a considerable "breakaway gap" on 1/25/12 from an advanced "3-weeks tight" base pattern, hitting new all-time highs and rallying near the upper limit of a trading channel defined by connecting its Feb, Jul, Sep, Oct '11 highs. Reported earnings +116% on +73% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 versus the year ago period.

Most Recent Note for AUY - 1/31/2012 12:12:41 PM Touched a new 52-week high today then reversed into the red. A spurt of volume-driven gains helped it clear an 8-week base during which it found support at its 200 DMA line. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Quarterly sales revenues and earnings increases in the 5 latest comparisons through Sep 30, 2011 were well above the +25% guideline satisfying the C criteria. The downturn in FY '09 earnings is a fundamental flaw concerning the A criteria. With respect to the I criteria, the number of top rated funds owning its shares rose from 799 in Jun '11 to 913 in Dec '11. It survived but failed to impress since 4/23/2008 when it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list and subsequently fell from $13 to $3 over the next 6 months. First it had traded up as much as +25.4% after it was first featured at $15.89 in the February 2008 CANSLIM.net News (read here)."

Most Recent Note for BIIB - 1/31/2012 12:14:16 PM Hovering near its 52-week high after an orderly base pattern.

Most Recent Note for GRA - 1/31/2012 12:26:59 PM Hit another new 52-week highs today, continuing a steady streak of volume-driven gains.

A downturn in FY '09 is a flaw that makes its annual earnings (A criteria) history fall short of the investment system's guidelines.

It completed Public Offerings on 3/22/11 and 10/19/11. Quarterly comparisons have shown strong sales revenues and earnings increases satisfying the C criteria. A downturn in FY '09 earnings is a flaw concerning the A criteria."

Most Recent Note for MNRO - 1/31/2012 12:40:57 PM Reversed into the red after touching another new all-time high today. No resistance remains due to overhead supply. Reported earnings +20% on +7% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. Last noted in the 12/13/11 mid-day report - "Not a good match, fundamentally, with the investment system's winning models. It and similar players in the auto-repair arena have shown recent strength while consumers are fixing their old cars and holding off on new car purchases. Its annual earnings (A criteria) growth rate has been good in recent years. But in 6 of its 8 most recent quarterly earnings comparisons there are blue triangles beside the earnings figure on the chart service used by our experts - which indicates pre-tax, non-recurring items were included (where possible, such items are normally removed to provide data better suited for comparison)."
