Perched at its 52-week high following 3 consecutive volume-driven gains and it has no resistance remaining due to overhead supply. The Jun, Sep, and Dec '11 quarters showed great fundamental improvement with strong earnings satisfying the C criteria. A dip in its FY '09 earnings has been noted as a flaw concerning the A criteria making it not a solid match with the fact-based system's guidelines."
