Most Recent Note for AAP - 2/17/2012 11:39:26 AM
Reported earnings +58% on +5% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. Up again today, adding to the prior session's gap up gain for a new all-time high with heavy volume. Steadily rallied since noted in the 1/06/12 mid-day report challenging its high - "With a 3rd consecutive gain after building an orderly flat base above its 50 DMA line. Went through a deep consolidation below its 200 DMA line since noted in the 5/17/11 mid-day report - 'Recent quarterly comparisons showed strong earnings, however sub par sales revenues growth has been a concern while increases have been in the +7-11% range. Autozone Inc (AZO) and similar players (MNRO & ORLY) in the auto-repair arena have been noted in recent months while consumers have been fixing their old cars instead of buying new cars they cannot afford."

Most Recent Note for AAPL - 2/17/2012 11:41:52 AM
Holding its ground following a worrisome "negative reversal" for a loss with heavy volume on 2/15/12 that broke a streak of 8 consecutive gains into new high territory. This well-known tech leader is extended from any sound base pattern after a considerable rally since the previously noted "breakaway gap" on 1/25/12 from an advanced "3-weeks tight" base pattern.

Most Recent Note for ASPS - 2/17/2012 11:43:16 AM
Spiking to another new all-time high while on track today for a 5th consecutive volume-driven gain. Found support at its 50 DMA line on its pullback after it technically broke out of a previously noted orderly base pattern. Noted in prior mid-day reports - " 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."

Volume-driven gain today has it rallying back above its 50 DMA line to within -3.4% of its 52-week high. Reported earnings +7% on +6% sales revenues for the quarter ended Dec 31, 2011 versus the year ago period, the first quarterly comparison with earnings below the +25% minimum guideline in years. Very little overhead supply remains to act as resistance. Last noted in the 12/05/11 mid-day report - "Its earnings history has been strong, but the lack of sales revenues growth raises concerns that there is not great or growing demand for a new (N criteria) product or services."

Hovering near its 52-week high today while on track for its 7th 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."

No resistance remains due to overhead supply after a 6-month cup shaped consolidation, however this Oil & Gas - Field Services firm is encountering distributional pressure this week while challenging its 52-week high. Quarterly comparisons through Dec '11 show strong sales and earnings increases satisfying the C criteria. However, a downturn in FY '09 earnings is a flaw concerning the A criteria which calls for strong annual earnings increases for the past 3-5 years.
