Perched at its 52-week high today after a streak of 7 consecutive gains marked by heavy volume. Reported earnings +69% on +5% sales revenues for the Dec '12 quarter, however fundamental concerns remain. Found support near its 50 DMA line then steadily advanced since noted in the 7/19/12 mid-day report - "Earnings and sales growth has not been strong and steady in past quarterly comparisons, and its up and down annual earnings history (A criteria) is below the investment system's guidelines."

Consolidating above its 50 DMA line tallying a 5th consecutive gain. Fundamentals are not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines (C and A criteria). It survived but failed to impress since last noted in the 10/26/09 mid-day report with caution - "Earnings and sales history are below guidelines.

Technically, its volume-driven gain on 2/13/13 led to a breakout from a 4-month base pattern while the mid-day report cautioned - 'Due to report earnings on Feb 21st.

Its limited history is still cause for some concern, meanwhile it has held its ground since its $13 IPO on 7/27/12.'"

Hit a new 52-week high after gapping up today for a 2nd consecutive gain backed by heavy volume. Found support well above prior high and above its 50 DMA line during its recent consolidation. Reported earnings +51% on +34% sales revenues for the quarter ended Dec 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Recent quarterly earnings increases above the +25% guideline satisfy the C criteria, but its up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history is a concern. Based on weak action it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/03/08 and fundamentals deteriorated afterward while it slumped from above $21 to as low as $8.57 before rebounding."

Hitting another new 52-week high today with a 6th consecutive gain adding to a recently noted spurt of considerable volume-driven gains. Fundamental concerns remain. Prior mid-day reports cautioned - "Very extended from any sound base pattern. Recent quarterly comparisons through Dec '12 showed greatly improved sales revenues and solid earnings increases versus low or negative year-ago results. Annual earnings history (A criteria) has been up and down, not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines. Low-priced stocks are discouraged from consideration under the fact-based investment system unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied."

Fundamentals remain strong, but lower consensus earnings estimates for FY '13 (-2%) and FY '14 (-30%) are cause for some concern while it is consolidating above its 50 DMA line and only -6.9% off its 52-week high. Encountered stubborn resistance in the $54-56 area over the past year. Found prompt support after violating its 200 DMA line and stayed above previously noted support near its August - November lows. Showed impressive resilience since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 12/18/12 as damaging distributional action left it -26.9% off its 11/30/12 high while firearms-makers endured heavy selling following tragedies.

Still holding its ground stubbornly and inching higher following a gap up on 2/19/13 for a new 52-week high. Technically, its "breakaway gap" cleared a better than 3-month base during which it found prompt support near its 200 DMA line.

Erratic sales revenues and earnings history in quarterly comparisons and its up and down annual earnings history make it not a match with the guidelines (C and A criteria) of the fact-based investment system."
