Most Recent Note for AE - 3/28/2012 11:51:05 AM
Hitting yet another new 52-week high today, adding to its recent spurt of volume-driven gains. It has the look of a "climax run" and is very extended from any sound base pattern. 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."

Pulling back today after technically rallying on the prior session with above average volume from a "double bottom" base and challenging its 52-week high. The 3/27/12 mid-day report noted - "The 2 latest quarterly comparisons (Sep and Dec '11) showed big sales revenues and earnings increases over the year-ago periods. The prior quarterly and annual earnings history is not a match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines."

Most Recent Note for CACC - 3/28/2012 11:57:55 AM
Pulling back from a new all-time high hit Monday. 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. Noted in prior mid-day reports - "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.'"

Consolidating above its 50 DMA line and perched -6.3% off its 52-week high with little resistance remaining due to overhead supply. 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."

Hit yet another new 52-week high today, 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.'"

Hit another new 52-week high today, making more progress following a big volume-driven gain on 3/26/12. Found support above its 50 DMA line while consolidating under prior chart highs since 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.'"

Most Recent Note for DG - 3/28/2012 12:08:14 PM
Pulling back with above average volume behind today's 2nd consecutive loss after proposing a Secondary Offering on 3/26/12 while perched at an all-time high, extended from any sound base. Prior mid-day reports 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.

Holding its ground today following volume driven gains for new 52-week and all-time highs this week, 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.'"

Pulling back from its 52-week high hit on Monday with a volume-driven gain. Bullish action has continued since last noted in the 3/02/12 mid-day report after rallying from a tight 4-week consolidation above its 50 DMA line and prior highs - "No resistance remains due to overhead supply. Reported earnings +56% on +29% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. Recent quarterly earnings increases above the +25% guideline satisfy the C criteria, but its up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history is a concern. Based on weak action it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/03/08 and fundamentals deteriorated afterward while it slumped from above $21 to as low as $8.57 before rebounding."

Up today with higher volume while trading within close striking distance of its 52-week high. Held its ground while enduring distributional pressure in recent weeks while prior mid-day reports noted - "Recent quarterly comparisons show strong sales revenues and earnings increases but its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been up and down and below the fact-based investment system's guidelines. The Commercial Services - Document Management firm is from a low-ranked group on the 197 Industry Groups list, whereas the strongest leaders typically are found in the top quartile of groups."

Consolidating since last noted in the 3/19/12 mid-day report at its all-time high - "It has steadily advanced in recent weeks and it is extended from any sound base. Last noted in the 1/31/12 mid-day report - 'Technically it broke out on 11/30/11 with a volume-driven gain and it has been wedging to new 52-week and all-time highs in recent weeks with small gains lacking great volume conviction. It completed Public Offerings on 3/22/11 and 10/19/11. Quarterly comparisons have shown strong sales revenues and earnings increases satisfying the C criteria. A downturn in FY '09 earnings is a flaw concerning the A criteria.'"
