Most Recent Note - 2/6/2015 12:57:44 PM Y - Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 12/19/15 high plus 10 cents. Reported earnings +56% on +44% sales revenues for the Dec '14 quarter. That marks its 3rd consecutive quarter with earnings above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria), following sub par Dec '13 and Mar '14 earnings results. Hitting new 52-week and all-time highs with a considerable "breakaway gap" today, clearing all resistance due to overhead supply and triggering a technical buy signal. Completed a new Public Offering on 9/04/13 and went through a deep consolidation below its 200 DMA line then rebounded. A "breakaway gap" is the one noted exception where investors may chase a stock more than +5% above prior highs, however risk increases that an ordinary pullback may trigger the strict sell rules requiring disciplined investors to always limit losses. >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 4/7/2014.
