Gapped up today hitting a new 52-week high. It is extended from any sound base. Reported earnings +39% on +21% sales revenues for the Mar '13 quarter, marking a 3rd consecutive quarter this Medical- Managed Care firm has posted earnings above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria).

Gapped up today challenging its 52-week high. Reported earnings +26% on +36% sales for the Mar '13 quarter. It sputtered below its 50 DMA line during its consolidation from its high since last noted in the 2/11/13 mid-day report with caution. The 2 prior quarterly comparisons were well below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) of the fact-based system. Estimates for FY '13 earnings growth of 0% and its low P/E valuation (0.7 X SP) suggest that the outlook for future growth is a concern.

Retreating from new 52-week and all-time highs hit earlier this week, it gapped down today testing its 50 DMA line. Reported earnings +8% on +10% sales revenues for the Mar '13 quarter. The 4/23/13 mid-day report cautioned -"Extended from any sound base pattern. Reported earnings +34% on +11% sales revenues for the quarter ended Dec 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Prior quarterly comparisons were not strong and steady above the +25% minimum guideline and a downward turn in FY '09 earnings leaves fundamental concerns with respect to the C and A criteria of the fact-based system's guidelines. It survived and rebounded in recent years after deteriorating badly after it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/02/08."

Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has not been strong and steady.
