Most Recent Note for NOG - 2/25/2011 1:06:11 PM Gapped up for a second day in a row, hitting another new 52-week high today. The 2/24/11 mid-day report noted - "No overhead supply remains to hinder its progress. It promptly repaired a 50 DMA line violation in January while consolidating and then continued rising since completing a Public Offering of additional shares on 11/19/10. Previously noted an additional offering earlier last year on 4/15/10. It has attracted an increasing number of top-rated funds as shareholders. Recent quarters show great sales and earnings increases versus minuscule numbers for the year ago period. Leadership in the industry group (L criteria) is helping it fare well, but its limited earnings history and repeated stock offerings are cause for some concern. "
