Thinly traded Bank holding company is still perched within close striking distance of its 52-week high.

Recent mid-day reports repeatedly cautioned members - "This thinly traded stock wedged higher with gains lacking volume conviction since it found support near prior highs and its 50 DMA line. Reported strong sales revenues and earnings increases in the 3 latest quarterly comparisons through Dec '13 satisfying the C criteria. Technically, it broke out with a gap up and volume-driven gain on 2/14/14 and followed through with additional confirming gains for new 52-week highs. Faces some resistance at multi-year highs in the $25-26 area. There is a very small supply of only 1.25 million shares (S criteria) in the float and only 3 top-rated funds (I criteria) own its shares."

Pulling back from its new 52-week high hit last week after tallying 7 consecutive gains marked by volume. Completed a new Public Offering on 4/11/14.

Reported earnings +48% on +5% sales revenues for the Dec '13 quarter, but prior quarters showed earnings increases below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Up and down annual earnings (A criteria) also is a concern, so it is fundamentally below guidelines of the fact-based investment system.

Found support at its 50 DMA line during its consolidation since last noted with caution in the 3/31/14 mid-day report - "No resistance remains due to overhead supply.
