Most Recent Note - 4/5/2011 11:59:23 AM Y - Perched near its 52-week high after building a base above prior resistance in the $38 area. Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 3/03/11 high after an 8-week double bottom base pattern. Volume driven gains above its pivot point may trigger a technical buy signal, but disciplined investors will watch for proof of institutional buying demand and avoid the urge to get in "early". Prior mid-day reports noted - "This German firm is a high-ranked Electronics - Semiconductor Equipment company that has shown impressive earnings growth in recent years. Quarterly sales and earnings results in recent comparisons have been strong enough to satisfy the C criteria but showing sequential deceleration. Consensus earnings estimates calling for FY '11 earnings to grow by only +4% are also cause for some concern. " There are no Featured Stock Updates™ available for this stock at this time.
