Most Recent Note - 4/12/2013 12:24:29 PM Y - Perched at its 52-week high today after churning heavy volume recently but encountering resistance near prior highs. A solid volume-driven gain above its pivot point is still needed to trigger a new technical buy signal. Fundamentals remain strong enough to still satisfy the C and A criteria, however decelerating sales revenues and earnings increases in sequential quarterly comparisons through the Dec '12 quarter is a concern. Completed a new Public Offering on 12/06/12 and, technically, it broke out above previously stubborn resistance in $19 area with volume-driven gains in January. >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 4/3/2013.

Most Recent Note for ABAX - 4/12/2013 11:44:44 AM Gapped down today, retreating from its 52-week high after wedging higher with gains lacking great volume conviction. It made limited headway after clearing the previously noted base-on-base pattern when last noted in the 3/11/13 mid-day report - "Found support while consolidating above prior highs since its considerable 'breakaway gap' when noted in the 2/04/13 mid-day report with caution - 'Reported +32% better sales and a +69% earnings increase for the Dec '12 quarter versus the year ago period, and 3 of the past 4 quarterly comparisons showed earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). This Medical - Systems/Equipment firm has not shown a strong and steady annual earnings (A criteria) history, which is a fundamental flaw with respect to the fact-based investment system's guidelines. It was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 2/1/2008 and subsequently fell from $30 to as low as $10.12 before rebounding.'"
