Most Recent Note for AAPL - 3/1/2012 12:12:44 PM
After 5 consecutive gains it is perched at its all-time high. This well-known tech leader is very extended from any sound base pattern, making it a risky candidate now. Prior notes acknowledged the considerable rally since the previously noted "breakaway gap" on 1/25/12 from an advanced "3-weeks tight" base pattern.

Gapped up today for a considerable volume-driven gain and new 52-week high. Reported strong results for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, making it 3 consecutive quarterly comparisons (C criteria) above the +25% minimum earnings guideline. Its up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history remains a fundamental concern.

Still holding its ground in a tight range since its considerable volume-driven gain for a new 52-week high. The 2/14/12 mid-day report noted - "Rising clear of all resistance due to overhead supply. Strong sales revenues and earnings increases versus the year earlier periods in recent quarterly comparisons (through Dec '11) satisfy the C criteria. Its annual earnings (A criteria) growth has not been strong and steady, so it is fundamentally below guidelines of the fact-based investment system."

Hitting yet another new 52-week high today while adding to its streak of volume-driven gains. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Sales revenues and earnings history is not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines. Erratic price action in the past week indicates uncertainty while it proposed a new Public Offering on 12/09/11 and a 2:1 split impacted its share price effective 12/19/11."

Volume-driven gains this week have it now rallying from a 9-month base pattern, technically clear of all resistance due to overhead supply. Its 50 DMA line acted as support since last noted in the 2/10/12 mid-day report - "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.'"

Up from the session's earlier lows today while encountering more distributional pressure after its recent rebound near its 52-week high.

Today's considerable volume-driven gain has it challenging its 52-week high after consolidating in a tight range for the past 4 weeks above its 50 DMA line and prior highs. No resistance remains due to overhead supply. Reported earnings +56% on +29% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 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."

It also completed a Secondary Offering on 12/05/11.

Quietly pulling back today after inching to new all-time highs this week with small gains backed by above average volume. Its 98 Relative Strength rank is well above the 80+ guideline for buy candidates, however its Relative Strength line had been plotted higher in September '11. Its 50 DMA line defines support to watch. 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."

Its earnings and sales revenues showed improvement in the recent quarterly comparisons but its growth history is below the fundamental guidelines of the investment system. Current earnings per share should be up +25% or more and the past 3 or 4 comparisons in many cases accelerating in recent quarters.

Little overhead supply remains to act as resistance up into the $13 area following its recent rebound. It survived but failed to impress since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/10/07.
