Most Recent Note for AIRM - 4/4/2013 12:19:36 PM
Its shares split 3:1 on 12/31/12. Increasing ownership from 282 top-rated funds in Jun '12 to 331 in Dec '12 is a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. This Medical - Services firm has been consolidating above its 50 DMA line enduring mild distributional pressure since hitting its 52-week high when last noted in the 3/07/13 mid-day report with caution - "Recently rose from an orderly consolidation with no resistance due to overhead supply. Earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) are reassuring however sales revenues increases show worrisome sequential deceleration from +48%, +20% to +12% in the Jun, Sep and Dec '12 quarterly comparisons versus the year ago periods, respectively."

Most Recent Note for AL - 4/4/2013 12:26:01 PM
Making its 2nd consecutive mid-day report appearance, it halted its slide today after retreating near its 50 DMA line with a volume-driven loss on the prior session. Prior highs in the $26 area define the next near-term support. Recently tallied 11 consecutive weekly gains, and very little overhead supply remains to act as resistance. A valid secondary buy point exists following a successful test of support at its 10-week moving average (WMA) up to +5% above the latest high, meanwhile it may be forming a new base. Decelerating sales revenues and earnings increases in sequential quarterly comparisons through Dec '12 is a cause for some concern, however fundamentals are strong enough that prior mid-day reports noted - "Earnings history has been strong and is a good match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines (C and A criteria)."

Perched near its 52-week high today. Held its ground stubbornly after an impressive streak of volume-driven gains, and it is very extended from any sound base. Repeatedly noted in mid-day reports with caution - "Quarterly earnings increases (C criteria) have not been strong and steady enough to meet the fact-based investment system's guidelines."

Most Recent Note for DXPE - 4/4/2013 12:35:03 PM
Encountering distributional pressure and retreating from its 52-week high toward its 50 DMA line. It is very extended from any sound base and it was last noted in the 3/14/13 mid-day report with caution - "Found support well above prior highs and above its 50 DMA line during its recent consolidation. Reported earnings +51% on +34% sales revenues for the quarter ended Dec 31, 2012 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."

Perched at 52-week and multi-year highs today. Holding its ground in a tight range with no resistance remaining due to overhead supply after a streak of 10 consecutive gains when last noted in the 3/18/13 mid-day report with caution - "Reported earnings +10% on -3% sales revenues for the Dec '12 quarter. Quarterly and annual earnings history (C and A criteria) has not been a good match with the fact-based system's guidelines. There was a downward turn in its FY '10 earnings. It survived but failed to impress since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 8/07/08."

Reported earnings +64% on +27% sales revenues for the Jan '13 quarter. Fundamental shortcomings remain a concern as noted in prior mid-day reports while trying to rise from an orderly base pattern - "Earnings history has been erratic and below guidelines of the fact-based investment system.

Violated its 50 DMA line with today's 3rd consecutive volume-driven loss. There was a "negative reversal" after touching a new 52-week high when last noted in the 4/02/13 mid-day report with caution- "Reported earnings -3% on +9% sales revenues for the Dec '12 quarter. Recently wedged higher with gains lacking great volume conviction. Held its ground above its 50 DMA line and rallied after paying out multiple Special Dividends late last year and completing a 12/12/12 Secondary Offering."

Violated its 50 DMA line with a volume-driven loss on the prior session, abruptly retreating from its 52-week high. Waning sales revenues in quarterly comparisons is a concern although earnings in recent quarterly comparisons have been strong versus the year ago periods through Dec '12.

Perched at its 52-week high today after adding to the previously noted streak of volume-driven gains. Prior mid-day reports cautioned - "Recent quarterly comparisons through Dec '12 show strong earnings increases but with sub par sales revenues increases in the +4-6% range, not showing growth indicative of great demand for a hot new (N criteria) product or service. Up and down annual history is not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines (A criteria). Low-priced stocks are discouraged from consideration unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied."

Consolidating above prior highs in the $64 area defining initial support following its gap up on 3/28/13 breaking out of an orderly flat base during which it found support at its 50 DMA line. Reported earnings +18% on +12% sales revenues for the Jan '13 quarter.
