Most Recent Note for AE - 3/26/2012 12:05:42 PM
Perched at its 52-week high today after adding to its recent spurt of volume-driven gains, having the look of a "climax run". 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."

Hovering near its 52-week high today. This low-priced stock was noted in prior mid-day reports - "Reported strong results for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, making it 3 consecutive quarterly comparisons (C criteria) above the +25% minimum earnings guideline. Its up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history remains a fundamental concern. Bullish action has continued after it appeared in 5 mid-day reports during February noted - 'Quarterly and annual earnings history has been below the investment system's guidelines.'"

Holding its ground since a gap up on 3/21/12 for a considerable volume-driven gain and a new 52-week high on news it will acquire Apex Systems. It held its ground above prior highs during its consolidation since the 2/14/12 mid-day report noted - "Rising clear of all resistance due to overhead supply. Strong sales revenues and earnings increases versus the year earlier periods in recent quarterly comparisons (through Dec '11) satisfy the C criteria. Its annual earnings (A criteria) growth has not been strong and steady, so it is fundamentally below guidelines of the fact-based investment system."

Most Recent Note for BWLD - 3/26/2012 12:14:06 PM
Considerable gain for a new high after gapping up today. It had been wedging higher in recent weeks without great volume conviction but did not form a sound base pattern. Stubbornly held its ground following a considerable "breakaway gap" for a new all-time high when noted in the 2/08/12 mid-day report - "Tested support at its 200 DMA line recently and rallied back to new highs with volume conviction. Reported earnings +33% on +34% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. The C criteria is better satisfied with 3 of the past 4 quarterly comparisons now above the +25% guideline, making it a better match with the fact-based system's guidelines. The company has a strong annual earnings history (A criteria). Breakaway gaps are one noted exception to the rule that investors should avoid chasing stocks more than +5% above prior chart highs, however risk increases that an ordinary pullback may prompt selling rules. Patient investors may watch for secondary buy points to possibly develop and be noted."

Inching higher today for another new high. Found support above its 50 DMA line and near prior highs then rallied to new 52-week and all-time highs, showing mostly bullish action since its big gap up gain on 2/03/12, but it did not form a sound base pattern. The 2/23/12 mid-day report noted - "Quarterly and annual earnings history has been strong and satisfies the C & A criteria, however the 3 recent quarters' earnings increases, sequentially, decelerated to the minimum +25% level in the Dec '11 comparison. Rebounded from a deep consolidation below its 200 DMA line since noted 8/05/11 - 'Based on weak action it will be dropped from the Featured Stocks list tonight.'"

Hitting yet another new 52-week high today and adding to a recent spurt of volume-driven gains, getting very extended from any sound base pattern. 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.'"

Solid gain today on higher volume, hitting a new 52-week high. Found support above its 50 DMA line while consolidating under prior chart highs since last noted in the 2/21/12 mid-day report - "Reported earnings +3% on +23% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 versus the year ago period and went through a consolidation below its 200 DMA line again since noted in the 11/08/11 mid-day report - Its choppy consolidation is not considered to be a sound base pattern. The rebound above its 50 DMA line helped its outlook improve. Due to report earnings on November 9th. It promptly repaired a recent violation of its 200 DMA line after it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 9/30/11.'"

Gap up gain today with above average volume for new 52-week and all-time highs, clearing all resistance. Found support above its 50 DMA line during its orderly consolidation since noted in the 2/22/12 mid-day report - "It has earned high ranks however its earnings history is not a good match with the fact-based system's guidelines. Went through a long consolidation and slumped below its 200 DMA line from the old high which was hit when noted in the 12/07/10 mid-day report - 'Extended from prior chart highs in the $25-26 area. It rallied from an inverse-head-and-shoulders type pattern since finding support at its 200 DMA following the previously noted 'breakaway gap' on 4/27/10. Leadership in the Auto/Truck - Replacement Parts group (L criteria) is a reassuring sign. The C criteria is satisfied as recent quarterly comparisons show earnings increases above the +25% guideline on +15%-20% better sales versus the year ago period. Its up and down annual earnings history (A criteria) is a concern.'"

Rallying near its 52-week high today with a 2nd consecutive gain backed by above average volume. 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 noted in the 3/04/11 mid-day report.

Challenging its all-time high today after getting off to a poor start from its 5/05/11 IPO priced at $12. Rallied with a streak of volume-driven gains in recent weeks, clearing prior chart resistance. Limited earnings history is a concern. Its quarterly sales and earnings comparisons have shown great increases percentage-wise, yet this Chinese Computer Software - Security firm has minuscule quarterly revenues totaling in the $12 million range in the Sep and Dec '11 periods.

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.
