Most Recent Note for AZO - 4/5/2012 12:11:21 PM Perched near its 52-week high with above average volume behind today's 4th consecutive small gain after an orderly 5-week flat base above its 50 DMA line.

Most Recent Note for BBBY - 4/5/2012 12:21:04 PM Considerable gap up gain today for a new 52-week and all-time high, getting extended from prior highs in the $63 area.
