Y - Consolidating above its 50 DMA line with above average volume behind today's gain. Highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 3/11/14 high plus 10 cents in the 5/15/14 mid-day report (read here). This Spanish firm from the Medical- Ethical Drugs industry has little resistance remaining due to overhead supply. Subsequent volume-driven gains for new highs are needed to trigger a technical buy signal. Reported earnings +34% on +25% sales revenues for the Mar '14 quarter, marking its 4th consecutive quarter with earnings above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). See the latest FSU analysis for more details and annotated graphs.

Reported earnings +15% on +5% sales for the Mar '14 quarter and fundamental concerns remain. Noted with caution in prior mid-day reports - "Earnings sequentially decelerating and below the +25% minimum earnings guideline of the fact-based system.

Inching to a new 52-week high and getting more extended from any sound base with today's gain adding to a spurt of gains backed by above average volume. Reported earnings +48% on +31% sales revenues for the Mar '14 quarter, its 3rd consecutive quarterly comparison with earnings above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria), Annual earnings (A criteria) history has also been strong. Low-priced stocks are discouraged from consideration unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied. Uncertain action in the broader market (M criteria) is also cause for concern.
