Its fundamentals (C & A criteria) are now resembling past great winners, and patient investors may watch for secondary buy points to possibly develop and be noted. Gapped up today and hit a new all-time high with another volume-driven gain. Secondary Offerings were completed on 9/08/11 and on 12/07/11. Its 50 DMA line acted as a support level throughout its ongoing advance, however it is too extended from any sound base pattern to meet the fact-based system's technical guidelines for buy candidates.
