The results missed the consensus estimates yet remained above the investment system's fundamental guidelines. It touched new 52-week and all-time highs with today's volume-driven gain and it has no resistance remaining due to overhead supply. Its 50 DMA line defines near-term chart support to watch.

Reported earnings -13% on -4% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. Hitting new 52-week highs today with its 4th consecutive volume-driven gain. Prior mid-day reports noted - "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.

Consolidating after surging to new 52-week highs with a spurt of volume-driven gains. Technically it found support above its 50 DMA line on pullbacks after it broke out from a reverse-head-and-shoulders pattern on 1/06/12.

Hitting yet another new all-time high while on track today for a 9th 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."

Noted in prior mid-day reports - "Steadily advancing since it broke out of a base-on-base type pattern on 1/24/11. Previously noted after a technical breakout in the 11/03/10 mid-day report -'The old high for this Retail - Leisure Products firm had been hit when it last appeared in several early-May mid-day reports noted - Annual earnings (A criteria) and quarterly sales revenues have not shown strong and steady growth.'"

Reversed into the red after hitting another new all-time high today following 5 consecutive gains. Prior mid-day reports noted - "It went through a deep consolidation after dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 9/05/08. It has rebounded impressively, especially since its Nov '10 breakout, and it may be an interesting turnaround story now, however the downturn in FY '09 and FY '10 earnings is a flaw with respect to the A criteria of the fact-based investment system. Its small supply of shares outstanding (the S criteria) can contribute to greater volatility, especially if institutional investors rush in or out."

Up today with volume running at a slightly above average pace while touching another new all-time high. Stayed in a tight trading range in recent weeks while trading above average volume without making meaningful price progress, action indicative of distributional pressure. Prior resistance in the $46-47 area acted as a support level. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Poor technical action prompted it to be dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/03/11, and it subsequently found support near its 200 DMA line during its deep consolidation. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history is limited, however quarterly comparisons have shown strong sales revenues and earnings (good C criteria) increases and its FY '10 earnings followed losses in prior years."

Holding its ground near its 52-week high since a negative reversal on 2/21/12. It is extended from the previous orderly base pattern. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Erratic earnings history. Its quarterly sales revenues and earnings improved in recent comparisons, yet they remain minuscule. It has been building an orderly base for the past few months with support being found near its 200 DMA line."

Touched a new high today, wedging into new high territory without great volume conviction behind its recent gains. Do not be confused by a 2:1 split impacting its share prices as of 2/16/12. Strong annual earnings (A criteria) history. Recent quarterly comparisons through Sep '11 showed decelerating sales revenues and earnings increases, however for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 versus the year ago period its earnings improved by +35% on +29% sales revenues.

Consolidating above its 50 DMA line since a damaging 2/08/12 loss with heavy volume, abruptly pulling back from the all-time high. Reported earnings +17% on +16% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. The 1/17/12 mid-day report noted - "Reported earnings +29% on +22% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has shown steady growth since a small dip in FY '07 earnings. Sales revenues increases showed modest acceleration over the Mar, Jun, and Sep quarterly comparisons versus the year-ago period and earnings increases have been above the +25% guideline with respect to the C criteria. The stock is heavily owned (percentage-wise) by funds relative to its management's small 5% reported ownership. Top-rated funds owning an interest decreased from 482 in Mar '11 to 460 in Dec '11, which is not good news concerning the I criteria."
