Most Recent Note for ASMI - 5/5/2011 8:43:08 AM Perched near its 52-week high, it paused after 6 consecutive gains including a 4/28/11 gap up gain. It found support near its 2008 high ($33.60) in recent weeks when enduring distributional pressure. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Recent quarters show sales and earnings improving but prior history is below the fact-based system's guidelines.

Most Recent Note for AZO - 5/5/2011 8:53:27 AM Holding its ground in a tight range perched at its 52-week high, and no overhead supply remains to act as resistance.

Its 4 latest quarterly comparisons (C criteria) showed earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline while sales revenues increases were in the +1-13% range and gradually accelerating. It is heavily owned by mutual funds already, and top-rated funds owning shares fell from 1,105 in Dec '10 to 1,062 in Mar '11, not a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. While consumers are fixing their old cars and holding off on new car purchases, AZO and similar players in the auto-repair arena have shown some leadership.

The restaurant operator survived but failed to impress as it went through several long and very deep corrections since it was dropped from the CANSLIM.net Featured Stocks List on 8/15/2007."

SYT - NYSE - CHEMICALS - Agricultural Chemicals Syngenta Ag Adr	$69.82	+0.03 0.04%	$69.94	$71.87	-2.85%	661,786 168.78%	392,100
Most Recent Note for SYT - 5/5/2011 11:56:53 AM This Switzerland-based giant in the Chemicals - Agricultural industry group has endured some distributional pressure after reaching new all-time highs in recent weeks. Recent mid-day reports noted - "Faces no resistance due to overhead supply. Annual earnings growth (A criteria) was strong in years past, but flattened out from FY '08 through FY '10. Waning ownership interest from top-rated funds (I criteria) is another cause for concern. It is not a good match with the fact-based investment system's models of past great winners."
