Most Recent Note for ALK - 5/20/2013 11:56:09 AM
Encountering distributional pressure and slumping back into its prior base while retreating near its 50 DMA line. Reported earnings +59% on +9% sales revenues for the March '13 quarter, its 2nd consecutive quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Found support while consolidating above its 50 DMA line since noted in the 4/17/13 mid-day report with caution - "Reported earnings +37% on +8% sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Prior earnings history is not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines (C and A criteria)."

Pulling back today after recently wedging to new 52-week highs with gains lacking great volume conviction. Last noted in the 5/02/13 mid-day report with caution - "Quarterly and annual earnings history is not a match with the investment system's fundamental guidelines (C and A criteria. It survived but failed to impress since last noted in the 7/22/08 mid-day report."

Gapped down today retreating from its 52-week high hit last week after rallying further since a "breakaway gap" on 5/01/13. After its technical breakout the 5/02/13 mid-day report cautioned - "Reported earnings of 34 cents per share versus 1 cent per share with sales revenues up +13% in the quarter ended March 31, 2013 versus the year ago period. Recently rebounded from a brief slump below its 50 DMA line. Fundamental concerns remain. Failed to impress since long ago noted in the 4/16/10 mid-day report with caution - 'Sales and its annual earnings (A criteria) history are below guidelines, although recent quarters showed better than +25% earnings increases.'"

Considerable gain today for another new 52-week high and also challenging its 2011 high. Held its ground stubbornly after a recent streak of volume-driven gains. Rallied above earlier chart highs from an orderly flat base, and worked up through resistance due to overhead supply, however prior mid-day reports repeatedly cautioned - "Its quarterly and annual earnings (C and A criteria) history is not a match with the fact-based system's fundamental guidelines. Low-priced stocks are discouraged from consideration unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied."

Hitting a new 52-week high today. Undercut its 50 DMA line during its latest consolidation then rebounded to new highs since last noted 1/24/13 mid-day report. Quarterly comparisons through Mar '13 show earnings increases satisfying the C criteria. Abrupt downturn in FY '10 earnings is a flaw concerning the A criteria, as its annual earnings history has been erratic and below the fact-based system's guidelines.

Powering to another new 52-week high with today's 6th consecutive gain backed by above average volume, rallying 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."

Hitting another new 52-week high today with a considerable volume-driven gain and making a 6th consecutive mid-day report appearance. This Chinese provider of investment products reported earnings +217% on +94% sales revenues for the Mar '13 quarter. The low-priced shares undercut the 50 DMA line during its consolidation then rebounded and rallied impressively since noted in the 2/28/13 mid-day report with caution - "Additional resistance remains due to overhead supply.
