Most Recent Note for AIRM - 3/1/2013 11:57:19 AM
Gapped up and hit a new 52-week high, rising from an orderly consolidation with no resistance due to overhead supply. Its shares split 3:1 on 12/31/12. Increasing ownership by top-rated funds is a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) are reassuring however sales revenues increases show sequential deceleration from +48%, +20% to +12% in the Jun, Sep and Dec '12 quarterly comparisons versus the year ago periods.

Most Recent Note for AL - 3/1/2013 12:05:03 PM
On track for its 9th consecutive weekly gain and rallying for new 52-week highs. It still faces a little overhead supply to act as resistance up through the $29 area. Earnings history has been strong and is a good match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines (C and A criteria).

Hit a new 52-week high with a volume-driven gain on the prior session adding to its recent spurt of gains, however it faces resistance due to overhead supply up through the $45 level. The 2/27/13 mid-day report noted - "Reported better earnings increases in the Sep and Dec '12 quarterly comparisons versus the year-ago periods but its prior earnings history was sub par with respect to the C criteria."

Sputtering near its 50 DMA line while consolidating from its 52-week high hit since noted in the 1/28/13 mid-day report with caution. Reported strong earnings and improved sales revenues growth for the Sep & Dec '12 quarters, however, fundamental concerns remain.

Hitting another new 52-week high today with its 3rd consecutive gain backed by heavy volume. Found support well above prior highs 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."

Perched at its 52-week high today following 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."

Perched near its 52-week high following more volume-driven gains. Last noted after an impressive technical breakout with volume-driven gains in the 2/04/13 mid-day report with caution when pulling back - "Prior highs may act as support. Reported earnings +95% on +35% sales revenues for the Dec '12 quarter, marking a 4th consecutive quarter with earnings above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings growth has improved after a downturn in FY '07 and '08. Low-priced stocks are discouraged from consideration unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied. There are only 6.03 million shares outstanding in this thinly traded firm hailing from the Banks - Southeast group. Owned by 10 top-rated funds as of Dec '12, up from 7 in Sep 12 when last noted in the 10/31/12 mid-day report."

The high-ranked Telecom -Infrastructure firm showed good sales and earnings increases in the Jun and Sep '12 quarterly comparisons versus the year ago periods, however, prior mid-day reports noted -"Quarterly comparisons and annual earnings (A criteria) growth have not been strong and steady, so it is fundamentally below guidelines of the fact-based investment system."

Rebounded above its 50 DMA line promptly after dipping below that important short-term average in August, however gains in recent weeks have lacked great volume conviction. Recent quarters showed better earnings versus the year earlier, however unimpressive sales revenues growth suggests no great demand for new (N criteria) products or services."

Gapped up and hit a new 52-week high with today's considerable volume-driven gain, getting more extended from any sound base pattern. Reported strong increases in sales revenues and earnings well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) in past 4 quarters through Dec '12. Consensus estimates calling for -26% lower earnings in FY '13 are cause for some concern. It went through another deep correction below its 50 & 200 DMA lines since noted in the 1/05/12 mid-day report - "Its earnings and sales history are below guidelines."

Today's 4th consecutive gain on ever-increasing volume has it hitting a new 52-week high.

Lackluster sales revenues growth history makes it not a good match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines as it reveals no great demand for new (N criteria)products or services. Recently making a little progress above multi-year resistance in the $19 area, and it found support near its upward sloping 50 DMA line."
