Most Recent Note for EMES - 4/4/2014 12:01:53 PM Has the look of a "climax run" while powering further into new high territory with volume-driven gains. Technically, it broke out on 3/11/14. Prior mid-day reports repeatedly cautioned members - "Reported strong sales revenues and earnings increases for the Sep and Dec '13 quarters but prior quarterly and annual earnings (C and A criteria) history has not been strong and steady."

Most Recent Note for GA - 4/4/2014 12:06:08 PM Still holding its ground in a tight range following a gap up for a considerable gain on 11/25/13 news of a $2.8 billion bid to take the company private. Fundamental concerns remain, and when hitting new 52-week highs and rallying free of any resistance due to overhead supply the prior mid-day reports cautioned members - "Reported earnings +14% on +11% sales revenues for the Sep '13 quarter versus the year ago period. Earnings history is not a match with the fact-based system's guidelines (C and A criteria). Low-priced stocks are discouraged from consideration unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied."
