Y - Color code is changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 52-week high plus 10 cents after a 12-week base. Disciplined investors will watch for a volume-driven gain above the pivot to confirm a technical buy signal before taking any action. Found support well above its 200 DMA line and it has now rebounded to within -4.2% of its 52-week high. Fundamentals remain strong since it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 1/11/12. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 128 in Mar '11 to 185 in Dec '11, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.

G - Down today with higher volume, yet it is up from the session's early lows following a gap down after an analyst downgrade. It recently had wedged up to a new 52-week high with gains lacking great volume conviction, and the last consolidation was noted as a little short of the 5-week minimum length for it to be considered a new flat base pattern. Its 50 DMA line coincides with the prior low in the $49 area, defining an important near-term support level to watch.

Its 3 latest quarterly comparisons showed strong earnings increases well above the +25% minimum guideline while sales revenues showed impressive acceleration. It also has a good annual earnings (A criteria).

Perched near its 52-week high, holding its ground after a recent spurt of volume-driven gains. Reported earnings +92% on +8% sales revenues for the quarter ended January 31, 2012 versus the year ago period following 4 consecutive quarters of earnings increases below the +25% minimum guideline. Last noted in the 1/20/12 mid-day report - "Inching to new 52-week high territory after a 9-month reverse-head-and-shoulders base pattern. Earnings history is not a match with the fact-based system's guidelines."

Still hovering near 52-week and multi-year highs today. Last noted on 3/14/12 in the mid-day report - "The prior session's volume-driven gain cleared an orderly consolidation above its 50 DMA line. Reported earnings +77% on +21% sales revenues for the latest quarter ended December 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. The 3 latest quarterly comparisons earnings increases were above the +25% guideline satisfying the C criteria. Downturn in FY '10 earnings is a flaw concerning the A criteria of the fact-based investment system's guidelines. It survived but failed to impress since noted in the 5/01/2009 mid-day report - 'Its up and down annual earnings history (the A criteria) is a concern.'"

The 3/14/12 mid-day report noted - "Quarterly sales revenues show deceleration in comparisons through Dec '11 while earnings improved over year ago figures. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has not been strong and steady."

Perched at its 52-week high today after a recent spurt of volume-driven gains. Strong action came in recent weeks as the company provided encouraging guidance and received an analyst upgrade, however prior mid-day reports repeatedly noted - "Fundamentals still are not a match with the investment system's guidelines. It survived but failed to impress since noted in the 10/14/09 mid-day report - 'Poor annual earnings history.'"

Hovering above its 50 DMA line and just -5.4% off its 52-week high today. Its 50 DMA line acted as support throughout its ongoing advance since since rallying from a "double bottom" base in November. Fundamentals remain a concern as only one of its past 3 quarterly comparisons through Dec '11 showed earnings above the +25% minimum guideline. Found support near its 200 DMA line during its consolidation since noted in the 8/03/11 mid-day report - "The downward turn in FY '09 earnings raises concerns with respect to the investment system's A criteria. Recent quarters show sales and earnings improving but prior history is below the fact-based system's guidelines."

Reported earnings +38% on +20% sales revenues for the quarter ended January 31, 2012 versus the year ago period, showing encouraging acceleration in sequential quarterly sales and earnings increases. Its fundamentals (C & A criteria) are now resembling past great winners, and patient investors may watch for secondary buy points to possibly develop and be noted. Gapped up today and hit a new all-time high with another volume-driven gain. Secondary Offerings were completed on 9/08/11 and on 12/07/11. Its 50 DMA line acted as a support level throughout its ongoing advance, however it is too extended from any sound base pattern to meet the fact-based system's technical guidelines for buy candidates.

Recently encountered distributional pressure near its all-time highs, meanwhile no resistance remains due to overhead supply. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Recent quarterly comparisons and earnings had improved greatly, but the Oct '11 period showed earnings +11% on +8% sales revenues, below the guidelines of the fact-based system, and a downturn in FY '08 & '09 annual earnings (A criteria) history is another fundamental flaw."

Last noted in the 2/03/12 mid-day report - "Bullish action has continued since it gapped up on 10/12/11 after reporting +21% earnings on +8% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period and announcing plans to acquire Targus Information Corp for $650 million.

Near its 52-week high today while on track for a 4th consecutive gain with volume running at a slightly above average pace. It did not form a proper base since prior mid-day reports noted - "No resistance due to overhead supply, but it is extended from any sound base. Found support above its 50 DMA line during the recent consolidation. Reported earnings +28% on +20% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. Prior comparisons were at or just under the +25% minimum earnings guideline while it showed slight sales and earnings acceleration, and its annual earnings (A criteria) history is good. Patient investors may watch for secondary buy points to possibly develop and be noted, rather than chasing it while too extended from a proper base pattern."

Results have been erratic since a previously noted downturn in FY '09 earnings damaged its previously good annual (A criteria) growth history."
