Most Recent Note for AAPL - 3/16/2012 11:34:11 AM Perched at its all-time high today. It could go on to produce more climactic gains, however, this well-known tech leader is very extended from any sound base pattern, making it a risky candidate. Prior notes acknowledged the considerable rally since the previously noted "breakaway gap" on 1/25/12 from an advanced "3-weeks tight" base pattern.

Most Recent Note for CMCSA - 3/16/2012 11:45:28 AM The 3 latest quarterly comparisons (through Dec '11) showed sales revenues increases above the year ago periods by +50% and the Jun and Dec comparisons showed earnings increases above the +25% guideline. Perched near its 52-week high today. With a streak of 10 consecutive weekly gains it has rebounded from a deep consolidation below its 200 DMA line since noted in the 5/04/11 mid-day report - "Gapped up today for another new 52-week high then reversed into the red. Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong and steady but quarterly earnings increases have been under the +25% guideline for the past 7 quarterly comparisons through March '11."

Most Recent Note for EBAY - 3/16/2012 11:51:54 AM Perched at its 52-week high today with no resistance remaining due to overhead supply. Fundamentals remain a concern, as was the case when last noted in the 9/19/11 mid-day report - "Sales revenues and earnings have shown increases below the fact-based system guidelines in quarterly comparisons versus the year ago period.

Most Recent Note for GPX - 3/16/2012 11:58:37 AM Touched a new 52-week high today while on track for its 8th consecutive gain since pulling back abruptly and finding support above prior highs.

Prior mid-day reports noted - "Recent quarterly comparisons show improving sales revenues and earnings increases but its annual earnings (A criteria) history falls below the investment system's guidelines."

Most Recent Note for HF - 3/16/2012 12:04:28 PM Recent quarterly comparisons through Dec '11 showed much better sales and earnings increases. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has not been strong and steady, so it is fundamentally below guidelines of the fact-based investment system. It went through a deep consolidation below its 200 DMA line and completed a Secondary Offering on 8/04/11, then rebounded impressively since last noted in the 3/04/11 mid-day report.

Most Recent Note for INVN - 3/16/2012 12:06:47 PM Churning above average volume this week and gradually making progress above the prior chart high since finding support at its 50 DMA line. It hails from the Electronics - Semiconductor Manufacturing group which has recently shown better leadership (L criteria). The brief recent consolidation was not recognized as a sound base pattern, and prior mid-day reports noted - "Its 11/16/11 IPO was priced at $8 per share, and the firm's limited history is a concern.

Most Recent Note for OABC - 3/16/2012 12:10:01 PM Hovering near its 52-week high after recent volume-driven gains.

Most Recent Note for PATK - 3/16/2012 12:11:16 PM Touching yet another new 52-week high today while adding to a spurt of volume-driven gains.

Most Recent Note for QCOM - 3/16/2012 12:14:30 PM Wedged to new 52-week and multi-year highs in recent weeks with gains lacking great volume conviction since its "breakaway gap" on 2/02/12. Reported earnings +18% on +40% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 versus the year ago period, below the fact-based investment system's +25% earnings guideline. Previously noted downturn in its FY '09 earnings is a flaw with respect to the A criteria.

Most Recent Note for REX - 3/16/2012 12:14:59 PM Hovering near its 52-week high today after a recent spurt of volume-driven gains, and it is very extended from any sound base pattern.

Most Recent Note for SWM - 3/16/2012 12:19:36 PM This maker of cigarette paper and tobacco products reported earnings +149% on +19% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 versus the year ago period.

It has been consolidating in an orderly fashion since noted in the 11/28/11 mid-day report - "Quarterly and annual earnings history are not a match with the fact-based system's guidelines."

Most Recent Note for WAB - 3/16/2012 12:21:35 PM Up today for new 52-week and all-time highs with no resistance remaining due to overhead supply. Found support at its 50 DMA line on pullbacks in recent months.
