Most Recent Note - 4/15/2013 12:00:51 PM Y - Still perched near its 52-week high but pulling back today. Recent low and 50 DMA line define important near-term chart support to watch. Churned heavy volume recently but encountered 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.
