Symbol - Exchange - Industry Group Company Name	Last	Chg	Day High	52 WK Hi	% From Hi	Volume % DAV	DAV

Most Recent Note for AMPH - 4/18/2022 12:05:36 PM Very extended from any sound base and retreating from its all-time high with today's loss after a "negative reversal" following 6 consecutive gains. Quarterly comparisons through Dec '21 versus the year ago periods have been strong and well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings history (A criteria) has been improving after a downturn in FY '17 and '18 which raised fundamental concerns.

Most Recent Note for CMCL - 4/18/2022 12:06:36 PM Hit a new 52-week high today following recent volume-driven gains, but it still faces some old overhead supply which may act as resistance.

EGY - NYSE - ENERGY - Independent Oil & Gas Vaalco Energy Inc	$7.98	+0.58 7.84%	$8.00	$7.73	3.23%	1,345,542 96.25%	1,398,000
Most Recent Note for EGY - 4/18/2022 12:08:11 PM Powering to a new 52-week high with today's 4th consecutive gain, rising from a choppy 4-week consolidation, not a sound base pattern. Its 50 DMA line ($6.19) defines near-term support to watch on pullbacks. Prior mid-day reports noted - "For the Dec '21 quarter it reported 21 cents in earnings per share versus a 10 cents per share loss on +349% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Erratic quarterly and annual earnings (C and A criteria) history is a concern. Low priced stocks are riskier choices which the investment system guidelines say should be avoided unless all criteria are soundly satisfied."
