Recently encountered resistance in the $17.50 area, and it faces resistance due to overhead supply up through the $19 level. Reported earnings +33% on +11% sales for the Mar '13 quarter. Noted in prior mid-day reports with caution - "Showed improved sales revenues and stronger earnings in the Sep and Dec '12 quarters, but up and down results in prior quarters and in prior years (A criteria) make it not a match with the fact-based investment system."

This Hunt Valley, MD-based Media - Radio/TV firm gapped down today. Reported earnings -44% on +27% sales for the Mar '13 quarter. Announced a new Public Offering. Consensus estimates calling for -21% earnings in FY '13 are cause for some concern. It is extended from any sound base.

Holding its ground while making its 2nd consecutive mid-day report appearance. Blasted from below its 50 and 200 DMA lines with considerable volume-driven gains last week challenging multi-year highs in the $33 area where it met stubborn resistance. The 4/26/13 mid-day report noted - "Patient and disciplined investors may watch for a new base or secondary buy point to possibly develop and be noted in the weeks ahead. Reported earnings +68% on +13% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 versus the year ago period, marking a 3rd consecutive quarter above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). It survived but failed to impress since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 2/14/12 based on the fundamental and technical concerns."
