Its earnings history has been strong, but the lack of sales revenues growth raises concerns that there is not great or growing demand for a new (N criteria) product or services.

It survived but failed to impress since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 3/29/05."

Most Recent Note for EGOV - 3/8/2011 12:06:02 PM Perched near 52-week and multi-year highs with no resistance due to overhead supply following a streak of gains with above average volume.

Most Recent Note for FCFS - 3/8/2011 12:17:25 PM Perched near its 52-week high today with no resistance remaining due to overhead supply.

Most Recent Note for NVO - 3/8/2011 12:32:17 PM Perched near its all-time high following a recently noted spurt of volume-driven gains. Found great support near its 50 DMA line throughout its ongoing ascent. It now faces no resistance due to overhead supply, but it is not near a sound base pattern. Disciplined investors may watch for a proper new base or secondary buy point to develop which may subsequently be noted. Reported earnings +63% on +15% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, so 3 of the 4 latest quarterly comparisons now have earnings increases above the +25% guideline. It has earned high ranks after demonstrating strong steady annual earnings (A criteria) growth. This Denmark-based Medical - Ethical Drug firm also has seen the number of top-rated funds owning its shares rise from 152 in Mar '10 to 184 in Dec '10, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.

Most Recent Note for SSYS - 3/8/2011 12:51:16 PM Touched another new 52-week high today, getting more extended from any sound base.
