Y - Color code is changed to yellow while building on a choppy 7-week base with pivot point cited based on its 2/06/13 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent volume-driven gains above the pivot point cited are needed to trigger a technical buy signal before action may be justified under the fact-based system. This low-priced stock is rallying within striking distance of its 52-week high today. Found support while consolidating above its 50 DMA line in recent weeks after a spurt of volume-driven gains. Reported earnings +78% on +55% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 versus the year ago period, marking its 4th consecutive quarter with earnings increasing by well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has improved since a downturn in FY '08 and '09 earnings. Low-priced stocks are discouraged from consideration unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied.

Tallied 11 consecutive weekly gains and no overhead supply remains to act as resistance while perched near its all-time high today. Disciplined investors may watch for a secondary buy point or new base to potentially develop and be noted in the weeks ahead, meanwhile it has not formed a sound base since noted in 2 recent mid-day reports - "Earnings history has been strong and is a good match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines (C and A criteria)."

Hovering at its 52-week high today following a volume-driven gain on the prior session while attempting to rise from a short "square box" type base pattern. The 3/19/13 mid-day report noted - "Reported earnings +68% on +14% sales revenues for the Dec '12 quarter marking its 3rd consecutive quarter with earnings above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Found support well above its 50 DMA line during its recent consolidation. Lackluster sales revenues growth and limited history since its 3/23/12 IPO at $11 leaves concerns."

Gapped down on the prior session, enduring distributional pressure following a recent spurt of volume-driven gains. Earnings history is not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines (C criteria) and sub par sales revenues growth indicates no great demand for any new (N criteria) products or services.

Touched a new 52-week high today with a gain backed by above average volume. Rebounded from a slump below its 50 DMA line during its consolidation since last noted in the 1/15/13 mid-day report with caution - "Recent quarterly comparisons show greatly improved sales revenues and earnings increases, however its poor annual earnings history (A criteria) is a fundamental flaw. It survived but failed to impress since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 5/01/05."

Last noted in the 3/08/13 mid-day report with caution - "It faces additional resistance due to overhead supply. Reported greatly improved sales and earnings increases in the 3 latest quarterly comparisons through Dec '12, but its prior earnings history (A criteria) has been erratic and is not a match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines."

Dipping below its 50 DMA line today. While consolidating it has remained well above prior highs in recent weeks. Waning sales revenues are a concern, as it reported sales -19%, -21%, -20%, and -16% in the Mar, Jun, Sep, and Dec '12 quarters, respectively. Noted in prior mid-day reports with caution - "Earnings history for this Banks - West/Southwest firm is not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines."

Hovering near its 52-week high today, stubbornly holding its ground following a streak of 6 consecutive volume-driven gains. Reported earnings +120% on +5% sales revenues for the Dec '12 quarter. Stubbornly held its ground and rallied since noted in the 1/30/13 mid-day report with caution - "Recent quarterly comparisons showed strong earnings increases satisfying the C criteria, however sales revenues increases showed worrisome deceleration, +13%, +11%, +8%, and +4% in the Dec '11, Mar, Jun, and Sep '12 quarters, respectively. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been erratic and not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines."

Consolidating above its 50 DMA line today and perched only -4.7% off its 52-week high. Completed a new Public Offering on 9/06/12. The 5 most current quarterly comparisons through Dec '12 showed improved sales revenues and earnings increases above the +25% guideline (C criteria). Encountered stubborn resistance in the $41 area since last noted in the 12/19/12 mid-day report with caution - "A downturn in its FY '11 earnings is a flaw concerning the annual earnings (A criteria) history, making it not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines."

On track for its 8th consecutive weekly gain and perched at its 52-week high today. Churning above average volume in recent weeks while holding its ground stubbornly and gradually rising. Last noted in the 2/22/13 mid-day report with caution - "Reported earnings +40% on +25% sales revenues for the Dec '12 quarter, a solid improvement following its previously noted sub par results for the Sep '12 quarter (below the +25% minimum guideline for the C criteria). It faces no resistance due to overhead supply. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares from 2 in Mar '12 to 19 as of Dec '12, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Found support above its 200 DMA line during its 9-month consolidation since noted in the 4/12/12 mid-day report when hitting its 52-week high - 'The thinly traded stock has rallied 3-fold in the past year, finding support at its 50 DMA line throughout its ongoing advance. The Israel-based Medical - Generic Drugs firm reportedly is owned by only 1 top-rated fund. Recent quarterly comparisons through Dec '11 showed impressive acceleration in sales revenues and earnings increases satisfying the C criteria.'"

Technically, its "breakaway gap" on 2/19/13 cleared a better than 3-month base during which it found prompt support near its 200 DMA line.
