Most Recent Note for ALG - 2/3/2012 12:12:00 PM
Gapped up today for a new 52-week high, rallying for its 4th consecutive gain with no resistance remaining due to overhead supply. It wedged into new high ground without great volume conviction since last noted in the 1/13/12 mid-day report - "Consolidating above its 50 DMA line and building on an orderly base pattern. Earnings increases had improved in recent quarters, but sales revenues increases have been below guidelines and its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been up and down."

Hovering at its 52-week high today, and recently holding its ground in a tight trading range above its 50 DMA line. Completed a new Public Offering on 12/07/11. There are 8.67 million shares reportedly in the publicly traded float now. Quarterly and annual earnings history are not a match with the C & A criteria but it has earned high ranks. Prior mid-day reports noted - "The Finance - Savings & Loan industry group's low Relative Strength rank raises concerns with respect to the L criteria.'"

Most Recent Note for BWLD - 2/3/2012 12:18:00 PM
Hitting new 52-week and all-time highs with today's 4th consecutive gain. Tested support at its 200 DMA line last week and rallied back above its 50 DMA line when last noted in the 1/25/12 mid-day report - "Reported earnings +30% on +31% sales revenues for the latest quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. It made a stand above the "neckline" defined by its prior low after mid-day reports noted - 'It has the look of an ominous head-and-shoulders pattern formed over the past 5 months. Reported earnings +16% on +26% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. The company has a strong annual earnings history (A criteria). The C criteria has not been well satisfied by +25% earnings increases in quarterly comparisons. Blue triangles beside the quarterly earnings figure in at least the past 8 comparisons indicate pre-tax, non-recurring items were included (where possible, such items are normally removed to provide data better suited for comparison). The restaurant operator survived but failed to impress as it went through several long and very deep corrections since it was dropped from the CANSLIM.net Featured Stocks List on 8/15/2007.'"

Most Recent Note for CCNE - 2/3/2012 12:23:50 PM
Technically, it has found support near its 50 DMA line during its ascent in recent months and no resistance remains due to overhead supply while it has rallied near multi-year highs. Fundamentally, it showed better earnings growth in the Sep and Dec '11 quarters, but sales revenues growth has been sub par, indicating no great growth in demand for its products or services.

Powered up from its 200 DMA line with a gap up and considerable gain on the prior session, clearing its 50 DMA line and nearly challenging its 52-week high. Quarterly sales revenues and earnings growth has been in line with the investment system's guidelines concerning the C criteria. Annual earnings growth has been strong following a dip in its FY '09 earnings.

No resistance remains due to overhead supply. It reversed into the red after touching a new all-time high on the prior session when the 2/02/12 mid-day report noted - "Reported earnings +23% on +24% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. Found support above its 200 DMA line during its consolidation and continued to rise since fundamental concerns prompted it to be dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 8/02/11. To satisfy the C criteria a company should show earnings increases above +25% in the past 3 or 4 quarterly comparisons or show impressive sequential acceleration in recent earnings increases, rather than being up and down with results that are lackluster and only borderline with the minimum guideline."

Hitting another new 52-week high with today's 4th consecutive volume-driven gain. Do not be confused by a 3:2 share split impacting prices effective 2/02/12 when reviewing. Reported earnings +21% on +30% sales revenues for the quarter ended October 31, 2011 versus the year ago period and it found support near its 50 & 200 DMA lines during its consolidation since noted in the 11/01/11 mid-day report - "Its annual earnings (the A criteria) history has been strong in recent years, however the past 6 quarterly comparisons through July '11 showed earnings increases below the +25% guideline. This Medical - Systems/Equipment firm survived but failed to impress since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 4/15/05."

At its 52-week high today while on track for its 6th consecutive daily gain and 5th consecutive weekly gain. The 2/02/12 mid-day report noted - "Reported earnings +20% with +0% sales revenues growth for the latest quarter ended October 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. Prior quarterly comparisons showed strong earnings increases while sales revenues growth decelerated. Its up and down annual earnings history is also a concern with respect to the A criteria. Large supply of 1.79 billion shares outstanding makes it an unlikely sprinter."

Holding its ground near its 52-week high today following a steady streak of volume-driven gains that helped it rally from a 26-week cup shaped base without a handle. Reported earnings +44% on +19% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. Repeatedly noted in recent mid-day reports - "Went through a deep consolidation below its 50 & 200 DMA lines since noted in the mid-day report on 7/28/11 following a gap up gain with heavy volume for a new 52-week high. Quarterly comparisons through Sep '11 showed strong and accelerating sales revenues growth and earnings increases satisfying the C criteria. A downturn in FY '09 is a flaw that makes its annual earnings (A criteria) history fall short of the investment system's guidelines."

Insider buying reported in November was previously noted as an encouraging sign. The June and September '11 quarters showed great sales revenues increases and earnings versus year ago losses.

A dip in its FY '09 earnings has been noted as a flaw concerning the A criteria making it not a solid match with the fact-based system's guidelines.

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."

Reversed into the red after gapping up for a new 52-week high today. Its 50 DMA line defines important chart support to watch. Reported earnings +147% on +61% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Stubbornly has held its ground following recent volume-driven gains, rising with no overhead supply to act as resistance. Reported earnings +138% on +73% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Recent quarterly comparisons show greatly improved sales revenues and earnings increases. Its annual earnings (A criteria) growth has not been strong and steady, and included a loss in FY '09, so it is fundamentally below guidelines of the fact-based investment system. It survived but failed to impress since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 7/26/07. "

Touched a new 52-week high after a considerable gap up gain today. Reported earnings +17% on +35% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. Recent spurt of volume driven gains helped it rebound further from a deep consolidation well below its 50 & 200 DMA lines since last noted in the 2/16/11 mid-day report - "Steadily climbing following a pullback to prior highs in the $42 area which acted as support. No overhead supply remains to hinder its progress, and it stubbornly held its ground and rallied since its 10/07/10 mid-day report appearance. Recent comparisons (Jun, Sep, Dec) show improving sales revenues and earnings with encouraging acceleration. Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been below guidelines of the fact-based investment system."

Most Recent Note for TYL - 2/3/2012 2:16:40 PM
Steadily inched to new high territory from support near its 50 DMA line and prior lows in the $28-29 area since last noted in the 12/09/11 mid day report - "Reported earnings +21% on +5% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. It survived but failed to impress, and fundamentals today are below guidelines. The Computer-Tech Services firm was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 9/24/08 due to technical weakness."

Most Recent Note for UAN - 2/3/2012 2:21:29 PM
Pulling back today after 5 consecutive gains into new high territory. Prior highs in the $26 area acted as a chart support level. Repeatedly noted in prior mid-day reports - "Limited history is a concern and its choppy consolidation in recent months is not a sound base pattern after rallying considerably from its 4/08/11 IPO priced at $16. Quarterly comparisons show strong sales revenues and earnings increases satisfying the C criteria."

Challenging its 52-week high with today's 4th consecutive gain. Found support above its 50 DMA line in recent weeks while building a base-on-base pattern. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Reported earnings +49% on +35% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Sales revenues and earnings increases were strong in the Mar and Jun '11 quarters. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been below the fact-based investment system's guidelines."
