Prior quarters and its annual earnings (A criteria) history has not been strong and steady.'"

Most Recent Note for BRCD - 4/3/2014 12:24:00 PM Perched at its 52-week high after wedging higher with gains in recent weeks lacking great volume conviction.

Fundamental concerns remain, and prior mid-day reports noted - 'Quarterly and annual earnings history (C and A criteria) is not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines. It survived but failed to impress since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 6/04/07.'"
