Y - Inching into new all-time high territory this week while overcoming mild distributional pressure. Technically it is a bit extended after breaking out from an earlier base on 3/05/12. Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 7/07/11 high plus 10 cents. A convincing volume-driven gain above the pivot point cited may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Reported earnings +29% on +12% sales revenues for the quarter ended February 29, 2012 and 3 of the 4 most recent quarterly comparisons show encouraging earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline, however sales revenues increases show deceleration. Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been good. Increasing ownership by top-rated funds (I criteria) is reassuring, however it is already heavily owned by the institutional crowd.

Y - Holding its ground today. Featured in yellow in the prior mid-day report with pivot point cited based on its 52-week high plus 10 cents after a 5-week flat base pattern. It found support above its 50 DMA line while consolidating since hitting its old high on 2/22/12, and its considerable gap up gain with more than 4 times average volume helped it hit a new 52-week high and trigger a technical buy signal. Reported earnings +80% on +45% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. 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). See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.

Hitting a new 52-week high today while adding to its recent spurt of volume-driven gains. Fundamentals remain a concern, as was the case when this thinly-traded AMEX listed stock was noted in the 6/23/08 mid-day report - "Questionable annual earnings history (the A criteria) but recent quarterly comparisons show better sales revenues and earnings increases."

Perched at its 52-week high today and adding to 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.'"

Its annual earnings (the A criteria) history has been strong in recent years, however the prior 7 quarterly comparisons through Oct '11 showed earnings increases below the +25% guideline. This Medical - Systems/Equipment firm survived but failed to impress since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 4/15/05."

Reported earnings +14% on +90% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Went through a deep consolidation below its 200 DMA line and it has recently been rebounding toward its 52 week high hit around the time when it was last noted in the 5/31/11 mid-day report - "It completed a 1/28/11 Public Offering. Sales and earnings history are below the investment system's guidelines. It put up 2 consecutive quarters of robust sales revenues and earnings increases following a downturn and negative comparisons in prior quarters and in FY '09. "

Small gap up gain today, getting more extended from a sound base. The 3/22/12 mid-day report noted - "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.

Reported earnings +16% on +6% sales revenues for the quarter ended January 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. It slumped below its 50 and 200 DMA lines then rebounded since noted in the 11/28/11 mid-day report - "It has earned high ranks, but its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been below guidelines and sales revenues increases have not been especially strong."

Small gap down today. Reported earnings +24% on +10% sales revenues for the quarter ended January 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Recently encountering 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."

Challenging its 52-week high today 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.
