Most Recent Note for AG - 3/31/2011 11:48:27 AM
Gapped up today and hit a new all-time high. It is extended from any sound base after a recently noted spurt of gains. The Vancouver, BC headquartered firm engaged in silver production in Mexico was noted in prior mid-day reports - "It found support above its 50 DMA line in the interim and has spurted higher with more volume-driven gains. On 12/15/10 it was listed on the NYSE. Recent quarterly comparisons showed solid sales and earnings increases but its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been below guidelines."

Most Recent Note for ASMI - 3/31/2011 11:53:50 AM
Holding its ground today after recovering back above its 50 DMA line. It had violated that important short-term average just 2 days after noted in the 3/08/11 mid-day report -"It recently rallied well above its 2008 high ($33.60) after clearing it. Recent quarters show sales and earnings improving but prior history is below the fact-based system's guidelines. Quarterly and annual earnings results include blue triangles beside the reported earnings figures - the blue triangles are symbols indicating that pre-tax, non-recurring items were included (where possible, such items are normally removed to provide data better suited for comparison)."

Gapped up today, rising toward prior resistance in the $45-46 area.

Most Recent Note for DE - 3/31/2011 12:00:30 PM
Today's gain has it quietly approaching the 52-week and all-time high hit when last noted in the 2/16/11 mid-day report - "Heavy volume behind it after it reported earnings +111% on +27% sales revenues for the quarter ended January 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. It topped its previously noted 2008 all-time high ($94.89) since it was last noted during a streak of consecutive gains in the 1/13/11 mid-day report. Earlier, the 12/08/10 mid-day report noted - 'Breaking out from an orderly base after finding prompt support near its 50 DMA line. Earnings have been up by better than +25% in the 3 most recent quarters and sales revenues increases have shown acceleration. A big streak of negative comparisons and downward turn in its FY '09 annual earnings (A criteria) are concerns with respect to the investment system guidelines.'"

Most Recent Note for ENDP - 3/31/2011 12:18:01 PM
Gapped up and rallied for a considerable gain with above average volume for a new 52-week high on the prior session, breaking out of a long flat base while merger news involving Cephalon Inc (CEPH) after Valeant Pharmaceuticals Int'l (VRX) sparked bullish action in the industry. Recent quarterly comparisons for Sept and Dec '10 showed better sales and earnings increases versus the year earlier, but prior quarterly comparisons and annual earnings (A criteria) growth have not been strong and steady enough to meet the investment system guidelines. After a long hiatus, it was noted in the 12/30/10 mid-day report - "Long-ago it was a Featured Stock with favorable characteristics, and it was last noted in the mid-day report on 1/09/06."

Recently finding prompt support at its 50 DMA line. Its latest quarterly report showed slightly better earnings and sales revenues increases. Noted in prior mid-day reports - "The Medical - Products firm has a slow but steady annual earnings history. Quarterly sales revenues and earnings increases have been below guidelines. With respect to the N criteria, explosive sales revenues increases would be a true indication of great or growing demand for any company's products.'"

Perched at its 52-week high today following a considerable volume-driven gain on the prior session. It tested support at its 50 DMA line during its consolidation since last noted in the 3/04/11 mid-day report. It made a few mid-day report appearances following its 2/24/11 gap up after reporting earnings +142% on +27% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 versus the year ago period. Fundamentals do not meet guidelines of the fact-based investment system, especially after a loss in FY '09. It was noted 10/30/07 -"Questionable annual earnings history (not a strong A)."

Within close striking distance of its 52-week high today. It found support soon after distributional pressure led to a few 50 DMA violations since it was last noted in the 12/17/10 mid-day report - "Latest quarterly results for the period ended September 30, 2010 showed earnings +60% on +29% sales revenues. Prior quarterly and annual earnings history is below the investment system guidelines. The long-term chart deserves some study since this Bermuda-based Retail - Internet firm was noted in the mid-day report on 10/30/07 after - ''Technically breaking out of a 12-week cup shaped base. Strong earnings meet the C criteria, but its annual earnings history has been up and down, and sales revenue growth has shown increases below the +25% guideline.'''

This Internet Advertising services firm headquartered in New York hit another new 52 week high today. In the 3 prior mid-day reports it was noted for - "Consecutive volume-driven gain(s) after a 15-week cup shaped pattern where it found support above its 200 DMA line. Recent quarterly comparisons showed strong sales revenues increases and its quarterly earnings have improved meaningfully. It has a limited annual earnings (A criteria) history, yet fundamentals have been indicative of increasing demand for its products or services. Low-priced stocks are discouraged from consideration under the fact-base system guidelines."

Hovering near its 50 DMA line since last noted in the mid-day report on 3/21/11, rebounding promptly after a heavy bout of distributional pressure led to a brief test of support near its 200 DMA line on 3/15/11. Its choppy action is not recognized as a sound base pattern under the guidelines of the investment system. Recent quarterly comparisons show improving sales and earnings and its annual earnings growth since public trading history beginning in June 2009 has been good.

Gains this week have it quietly approaching its all-time high. It has been consolidating for 4 weeks and found great support near its 50 DMA line throughout its ongoing ascent. It now faces little resistance due to overhead supply. Last noted in the 3/11/11 mid-day report - "Disciplined investors may watch for a proper new base or secondary buy point to develop which may subsequently be noted. Reported earnings +63% on +15% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, so 3 of the 4 latest quarterly comparisons now have earnings increases above the +25% guideline. It has earned high ranks after demonstrating strong steady annual earnings (A criteria) growth. This Denmark-based Medical - Ethical Drug firm also has seen the number of top-rated funds owning its shares rise from 152 in Mar '10 to 185 in Dec '10, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria."

Noted in prior mid-day reports - "After a very impressive rally from August '10 lows near $14 and January 2009 low of $3.72 per share. Recent quarterly comparisons show sales and earnings improving but its prior earnings history is below guidelines."
