Perched at its 52-week high after recent volume-driven gains. Fundamentals (C and A criteria) are below guidelines of the fact-based system, yet it has rebounded after a drastic downturn in FY '09 earnings. It survived but failed to impress since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 9/24/08.

Most Recent Note for ARMH - 5/21/2013 11:58:59 AM
Pulling back today with above average volume while retreating from its 52-week high. Reported earnings +50% on +22% sales for the Mar '13 quarter. Held its ground stubbornly above prior highs after gapping up from below its 50 DMA line on 4/23/13. In only 2 of the 4 prior quarterly comparisons the earnings increase was above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Previously noted downturn in its FY '09 earnings hurt its annual earnings history (A criteria) of the fact-based investment system.

Hitting yet another new 52-week high today. Stubbornly held its ground and rallied further since last noted in the 5/10/13 mid-day report with caution - "Sales and earnings history is below the fact-based investment system guidelines. It survived but failed to impress since it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/10/08. Traded up as much as +37.15% after first featured in the 4/16/08 CANSLIM.net Mid-Day BreakOuts Report (read here)."

Perched at its 52-week high still stubbornly holding its ground in a tight range following an impressive spurt of volume-driven gains. It found support at its 200 DMA line during its consolidation since noted in the 2/12/13 mid-day report with caution amid news headlines concerning a North & Webster $7.00 per share all-cash offer - "Earnings history is not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines (C & A criteria). Low-priced stocks are discouraged from consideration unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied."

Sales revenues have been waning, not growing, indicating no great demand for its new products or services. Earnings history is not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines (C and A criteria). Low-priced stocks are discouraged from consideration unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied. Held its ground stubbornly and rallied further since its technical breakout on 5/03/13 with a considerable volume-driven gain.

Up from earlier lows following a gap down today. Recently rallied to new 52-week highs with volume-driven gains lifting it from an orderly base pattern. Prior highs in the $8 area define initial chart support on pullbacks. Earnings increases in recent quarterly comparisons through Mar '13 were strong and satisfied the C criteria (above the +25% minimum guideline). Found support at its 200 DMA line during its consolidation since last noted in the 1/14/13 mid-day report with caution- "Underlying fundamentals (annual earnings history, A criteria) remain a concern. Recent quarters showed big earnings improvements over the year ago period. However, sales revenues increases have been erratic, below guidelines, and rather minuscule (at $5-8 million per quarter). Low priced stocks are discouraged from consideration under the fact-based investment system unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied."

Hit another new 52-week high today after gapping up, getting more extended from any sound base. Reported earnings +28% on +7% sales revenues for the quarter ended April 30, 2013 versus the year ago period, a 2nd consecutive quarterly comparison with an earnings increase above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Sales revenues increases in quarterly comparisons versus the year ago periods have not been especially strong. Annual earnings (A criteria) increases have been improving after a downturn in FY '08 - FY '10, a flaw with respect to the fact-based system's guidelines.

Enduring distributional pressure yet it rebounded after a gap down today and remains perched near 52-week and multi-year highs with no resistance remaining due to overhead supply. Reported earnings +30% on +5% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 versus the year ago period, a 2nd consecutive quarter with an earnings increase above the fact-based investment system's +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) following sub par results in the prior 5 quarterly comparisons. It survived but failed to impress since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 11/30/11.

Up from earlier lows after undercutting its 50 DMA line today with a damaging loss on heavy volume. While hitting new 52-week highs with volume-driven gains prior mid-day reports recently cautioned - "Reported earnings +63% on +23% sales revenues for the Mar '13 quarter. Found support at its 50 DMA line during its consolidation and held its ground stubbornly since noted in the 1/09/13 mid-day report after rallying from a 15-week cup shaped base without a handle. Recent quarterly comparisons showed strong earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) versus the year earlier, however its annual earnings (A criteria) history included a downturn and loss in FY '09, not strong and steady growth, leaving fundamental concerns with respect to the guidelines of the fact-based investment system."

Encountering mild distributional pressure after reaching new 52-week highs with a spurt of volume-driven gains last week. The 5/07/13 mid-day report cautioned - "Prior highs in the $58 area define near-term support above its 50 DMA line. Reported earnings +23% on +3% sales revenues for the Mar '13 quarter. Sub par sales revenues increases indicate no great growth in demand for new products or services (N criteria) while the stock is at new highs, and prior mid-day reports repeatedly cautioned - 'Prior quarterly comparisons and annual earnings (A criteria) growth have not been strong and steady, so it is fundamentally below guidelines of the fact-based investment system.'"

Hitting a new 52-week high with today's 3rd consecutive gain. No resistance remains due to overhead supply. Reported earnings +31% on +7% sales revenues for the Mar '13 quarter versus the year ago period. Prior quarterly comparisons did not show strong steady increases above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), and a downward turn in FY '07 - '09 earnings (A criteria) is a fundamental flaw.

Gapped down today, abruptly retreating from its 52-week high following an impressive streak of 7 consecutive gains. The 5/17/13 mid-day report noted - "Rising from a 9-month base with no resistance remaining due to overhead supply. Reported earnings +37% on +26% sales revenues for the Mar '13 quarter.
