Most Recent Note - 3/3/2020 12:58:16 PM Y - Touched a new all-time high with today's 4th volume-driven gain in the span of 5 sessions. Volume-driven gain helped it promptly rebound above its 50 DMA line ($41.76). Reported earnings +71% on +43% sales revenues for the Dec '19 quarter, continuing its strong earnings track record. The worrisome market correction (M criteria) is cause for concern, even if there are subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume to trigger a technical buy signal.
