Most Recent Note - 4/25/2013 12:06:47 PM Y - Color code is changed to yellow with new pivot point based on its 3/08/13 high plus 10 cents. A volume-driven gain and strong close above the pivot point of its 8-week flat base may trigger a new technical buy signal. This MLP in the Natural Gas business touched a new 52-week high today. Rebounded above its 50 DMA line after recent distributional pressure. Reported strong results for the Mar '13 quarter, and quarterly earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) with accelerating sales revenues increases are very reassuring. Prior mid-day reports cautioned - "Limited history is a concern and it has traded up considerably since its 6/27/12 IPO at $21."
