Most Recent Note for ALLT - 4/29/2011 12:31:21 PM Gapped up and hit a new 52-week high today with a considerable volume-driven gain. Its choppy consolidation in recent weeks is not a sound base pattern. Recent quarters showed sales revenues and earnings improving. Due to report earnings on Tuesday May 3rd. No overhead supply remains to hinder its progress, but as last noted in the 3/01/11 mid-day report - "This low-priced Israeli Computer - Networking firm does not have a good annual earnings history (A criteria)."

Most Recent Note for ASGN - 4/29/2011 12:34:48 PM Gapped up today for a considerable volume-driven gain and a new 52-week high, rising from a double bottom type base pattern. Recent quarters showed much better sales and earnings increases versus weak earnings or losses for the year earlier period. Prior quarterly comparisons and annual earnings (A criteria) growth have not been strong and steady, so it is fundamentally below guidelines of the fact-based investment system.

Most Recent Note for BKI - 4/29/2011 12:40:01 PM Volume-driven rally this week and gain today has it challenging its all-time high and recent chart resistance in the $28 area. The 4/27/11 mid-day report noted - "Reported earnings +154% on +25% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. Recent insider buying reported after clearing its 2007 high is a very reassuring sign. Recent quarterly comparisons showed strong earnings increases, but lackluster sales revenues growth and its erratic annual earnings (A criteria) history fall short of the investment system's guidelines."

Most Recent Note for CAVM - 4/29/2011 12:46:27 PM Hovering near its all-time high, thus far making little headway since it rallied above previously noted resistance in the $45-46 area, although no resistance remains due to overhead supply.

Most Recent Note for CROX - 4/29/2011 1:03:51 PM Gapped down today after reporting strong earnings news coupled with disappointing guidance. Reversing from the new 52-week high it hit with a recent spurt of volume-driven gains, its prior highs in the $19 area may now act as a support level. Apparel-related stocks have shown recent leadership (L criteria).

Based on technical deterioration it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 11/7/07 when still above $40. It has rebounded significantly from ultimate lows below $1.00 which it hit shortly after it was last reviewed in the FSU section of the After Market Update under the headline 'Gaps Down With Heavy Volume Are A Classic Sign of Institutional Selling'. A review of the old analysis is recommended."
