Y - New pivot point is cited based upon its 2/15/13 high as it rises from a "double bottom" base. Volume is running at a higher above average pace today while on track for its 6th consecutive gain and hitting new 52-week highs. The prior session's gain had only +17% above average volume, however gains must be backed by at least +40% above average volume as a stock rises above its pivot point to trigger a proper technical buy signal under the fact-based system.

Most Recent Note for AIRM - 3/7/2013 11:49:25 AM
This Medical - Services firm hit another new 52-week high today. Recently rose from an orderly consolidation with no resistance due to overhead supply. Earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) are reassuring however sales revenues increases show worrisome sequential deceleration from +48%, +20% to +12% in the Jun, Sep and Dec '12 quarterly comparisons versus the year ago periods, respectively. Its shares split 3:1 on 12/31/12. Increasing ownership from 598 top-rated funds in Mar '12 to 938 in Dec '12 is a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.

Found support well above its 50 DMA line recently and it is now consolidating -3.0% off its 52-week high, extended from any sound base pattern. Last noted in the 3/04/13 mid-day report with caution - "There are 11.1 million shares reportedly in the publicly traded float, and its small supply (S criteria) of shares can contribute to greater price volatility upon any institutional buying or selling. Quarterly and annual earnings history are not a match with the C & A criteria but it has earned high ranks."

Found support above its 50 DMA line during its consolidation since last noted with caution in the 2/11/13 mid-day report - "This low-priced stock is still hovering near its 52-week high today, consolidating after a spurt of volume-driven gains. Reported earnings +133% on +45% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 versus the year ago period, marking its 3rd consecutive quarter with earnings increasing by well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). A downturn in FY '08 and '09 earnings is a flaw concerning the A criteria. Low-priced stocks are discouraged from consideration unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied. Went through a deep consolidation below its 200 DMA line then rebounded since noted with caution in the 5/16/12 mid-day report -'Its prior earnings history is not a match with the investment system guidelines.'"
