Most Recent Note - 3/7/2012 Quarterly earnings increases in recent comparisons have been above the +25% guideline satisfying the C criteria. Volume-driven gain today helped it hit a new 52-week high, rising from an orderly consolidation above its 50 DMA line. Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 1/19/12 high plus 10 cents. No resistance remains due to overhead supply. Prior earnings history included a downturn in FY '09, a flaw with respect to the A criteria. Increasing ownership by top-rated funds is reassuring concerning the I criteria.
