Perched at new 52-week and multi-year highs after 3 consecutive volume-driven gains.

Powering to another new 52-week high with today's 5th consecutive gain backed by above average volume. It is trading within close striking distance of its 2012 high. Fundamental concerns remain, however, as this Taiwanese Electronics firm's earnings history has been erratic since long ago noted in the 4/18/11 mid-day report with caution - "The investment system discourages low-priced stocks unless all criteria are solidly satisfied. Recent quarterly comparisons show better sales and earnings, but large losses in FY '08 and '09 are a flaw concerning the A criteria."
