This well-known tech leader may produce more climactic gains, however it is extended from any sound base after having rallied considerably since the "breakaway gap" on 1/25/12 from an advanced "3-weeks tight" base pattern, hitting new all-time highs.

Working on the right side of a 6-month cup shaped base, challenging its 52-week high while on track today for a 6th consecutive gain and 4th straight weekly gain. Recent quarterly comparisons show modest sales revenues growth and improved earnings versus year-ago losses and weaker earnings. Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been good since a loss in FY '07.

Hitting a new 52-week high today after recently wedging up without great volume conviction from a previously noted orderly flat base above its 50 DMA line. Noted in prior mid-day reports -"Recent quarterly comparisons show strong sales revenues and earnings increases, however it does not have a strong annual earnings history (A criteria not satisfied) matching the models of past great winners identified using the fact-based investment system."

Most Recent Note for ASPS - 2/10/2012 12:00:37 PM
Slumping back with a big loss today, trading near prior highs and its 50 DMA line which may now act as support. It technically broke out of a previously noted orderly base pattern, however it was last noted in the 1/23/12 mid-day report - " Quarterly earnings increases have been mostly strong and backed by solid sales revenues increases, but the -16% earnings in its Jun '11 quarter is a flaw concerning the C criteria. This Luxembourg-based Financial Services firm's small supply (S criteria) of only 16.2 million shares in the public float can contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. ASPS was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/07/10 then violated its 200 DMA with a streak of volume-driven losses, and it subsequently rebounded back above its 200 DMA and 50 DMA lines."

Most Recent Note for BWLD - 2/10/2012 12:02:43 PM
Up again today following a considerable "breakaway gap" for a new all-time high on Wednesday. The 2/08/12 mid-day report noted - "Tested support at its 200 DMA line recently and rallied back to new highs with volume conviction. Reported earnings +33% on +34% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. The C criteria is better satisfied with 3 of the past 4 quarterly comparisons now above the +25% guideline, making it a better match with the fact-based system's guidelines. The company has a strong annual earnings history (A criteria). Breakaway gaps are one noted exception to the rule that investors should avoid chasing stocks more than +5% above prior chart highs, however risk increases that an ordinary pullback may prompt selling rules. Patient investors may watch for secondary buy points to possibly develop and be noted."

Gapped down today, testing prior chart highs and its 50 DMA line which may now act as support. Reported earnings +114% on +30% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Earnings rose +89% on +32% sales revenues for the latest quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Prior quarterly and annual earnings (A criteria) history has been below the investment system's guidelines. Guidelines also suggest avoiding low priced stocks unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied. This Israeli Computer Software - Enterprise firm survived but failed to impress since noted in the 7/23/09 mid-day report."

Hovering near its 52-week high today following a streak of gains capped with above average volume. Reported earnings +179% on +49% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Recent gains cleared the old high that it hit when noted in the 8/31/11 mid-day report - "Reported earnings +78% on +19% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 versus the year ago period and recent quarters were strong, but its up and down annual earnings (questionable A) history remains a fundamental concern. There is a small supply of only 4.26 million shares in its float, which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling."

Most Recent Note for WFM - 2/10/2012 1:37:05 PM
Holding its ground today following 2 considerable volume-driven gains into new 52-week high territory. It is extended from prior highs in the $74 area, yet no resistance remains due to overhead supply. Found support near its 200 DMA line when consolidating since noted in the 11/01/11 mid-day report - "Quarterly comparisons have shown strong earnings increases above the +25% guideline, however sales revenues increases have gradually decelerated from +15-11% and its annual earnings (A criteria) history has not been strong and steady."
