Symbol - Exchange - Industry Group Company Name	Last	Chg	Day High	52 WK Hi	% From Hi	Volume % DAV	DAV
AAPL - NASDAQ - COMPUTER HARDWARE - Personal Computers Apple Inc	$254.59	-1.40 -0.55%	NA	$272.46	-6.56%	11,845,774 58.77%	20,155,600
Most Recent Note for AAPL - 5/6/2010 12:23:16 PM Enduring recent distributional pressure along with the broader market (M criteria), and it is currently extended from any sound base. Noted in 4 mid-day report appearances in April - "It showed accelerating sales and earnings increases and rebounded impressively since 'Apple, Once Sweet, Now Rotten!' headlined follow-up coverage of this previously featured favorite with a stellar annual earnings (A criteria) history. Its 900 million shares outstanding is a huge supply (S criteria), making the fact that recent quarterly comparisons have shown impressive earnings and sales acceleration that much more impressive! Quarterly growth has improved meaningfully, and it is again looking more like the big winning examples shown in the book 'How to Make Money in Stocks' with regard to the C criteria of the proven investment system."

Most Recent Note for DGIT - 5/6/2010 12:38:16 PM Holding its ground after a considerable gap up gain on 5/05/10 with heavy volume for a new 52-week high after reporting +116% earnings on +31% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 versus the year ago period, which was an encouraging acceleration in growth rate.

Most Recent Note for IDSA - 5/6/2010 12:46:56 PM Posting a 4th consecutive gain with above average volume today and hitting a new 52-week high.

It was noted in recent mid-day reports -"spiked higher in recent weeks and is extended from any sound base. Based on weakness it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 9/09/08.

Most Recent Note for OPEN - 5/6/2010 1:03:53 PM The C criteria is satisfied as earnings and sales revenues increases have been strong the 3 latest quarterly comparisons versus the year ago period.

Most Recent Note for SVM - 5/6/2010 1:18:58 PM This low-priced Canadian mining company encountered distributional pressure but found prompt support near its 50 DMA line after weakness this week negated its prior breakout above the $8.00 threshold.
