Most Recent Note - 3/20/2012 12:43:31 PM Y - Pulling back today following a volume-driven gain into new high territory and strong close on the prior session that clinched a technical buy signal. It was featured in the prior mid-day report highlighted in yellow with a pivot point based on its 4/19/11 high plus 10 cents. Volume-driven gains on 2/27 & 2/28 cleared an earlier base pattern. Fundamentals are strong, however the Computer Software - Gaming group has a low rank (not good concerning L criteria) and waning ownership by top-rated funds is a concern with respect to the I criteria. The 4/19/11 mid-day report noted - "Since long ago dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/09/09 it went through a long consolidation including slumps below its 200 DMA line before rebounding with volume-driven gains in recent weeks to challenge and rise above its 2009 highs. This China-based Computer Software - Gaming firm has a strong annual earnings (A criteria) history." >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 10/9/2009. Click here.

AAPL - NASDAQ - COMPUTER HARDWARE - Personal Computers Apple Inc	$595.10	-6.00 -1.00%	$599.73	$601.77	-1.11%	11,610,563 59.61%	19,478,400
Most Recent Note for AAPL - 3/20/2012 11:58:15 AM Perched at its all-time high, up from the session's earlier lows. 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. Members may study companies on the "Featured Stocks" list for current stocks resembling the winning models of the fact-based investment system.
