CACC - NASDAQ - FINANCIAL SERVICES - Credit Services Credit Acceptance Corp	$78.19	+1.33 1.73%	$78.77	$82.29	-4.98%	28,198 84.68%	33,300
Most Recent Note for CACC - 5/27/2011 12:39:05 PM This high-ranked leader in the Finance - Consumer Loans industry is thinly traded (33,300 shares average daily volume) and has a small supply (S criteria) of shares outstanding.

Disciplined investors may watch for a new base or secondary buy point to possibly develop and be noted.

CTXS - NASDAQ - INTERNET - Internet Software & Services Citrix Systems Inc	$87.26	+0.87 1.01%	$87.98	$87.98	-0.82%	1,453,177 68.06%	2,135,200
Most Recent Note for CTXS - 5/27/2011 12:44:15 PM Hit a new 52-week high today and no overhead supply remains to act as resistance. This Computer Software - Enterprise firm consolidated above prior highs in an orderly fashion for the past 4 weeks following a considerable gap up gain on 4/28/11 for a new all-time high. Sales and earnings history has not been a good match with the investment system's guidelines. Its choppy advance has been impressive since noted on 2/19/10 when it topped its 2006 high of $45.50.

Most Recent Note for CVLT - 5/27/2011 12:46:53 PM Approaching its all-time high with today's gain after finding support near its 50 DMA line while consolidating. Last noted in the 5/10/11 mid-day report - "Based on poor technical action it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 7/13/10. It has rebounded impressively since, yet its fundamental characteristics today are not a match for the fact-based system at all. Disciplined investors avoid the temptation to get in 'early' and may review earlier notes and observe that CVLT did not trigger a technical buy signal after it had been featured in the 7/06/10 mid-day report."

HAIN - NASDAQ - FOOD & BEVERAGE - Processed & Packaged Goods Hain Celestial Group	$35.80	+1.38 4.01%	$36.20	$36.74	-2.56%	625,423 190.04%	329,100
Most Recent Note for HAIN - 5/27/2011 12:55:17 PM Gapped up today, approaching its 52-week high. Found support near its 50 DMA line throughout its ongoing ascent violation. Cluster buying by company insiders in recent months was noted as a reassuring sign. Recent quarterly comparisons show sales revenues and earnings improvements helping it better satisfy the C criteria, but a downturn in FY '09 and FY '10 is a flaw with respect to the A criteria.

IIVI - NASDAQ - Electronic-Parts Ii-Vi Incorporated	$58.06	+0.78 1.36%	$58.98	$59.92	-3.10%	103,868 59.42%	174,800
Most Recent Note for IIVI - 5/27/2011 1:04:46 PM Approaching its 52-week high with today's 4th consecutive gain. Found support above prior highs and its 50 DMA line during its consolidation following a 4/26/11 breakaway gap. It may form a base-on-base type pattern, and it faces no resistance due to overhead supply. Its erratic fundamentals are a concern. Recent quarterly comparisons show great sales revenues and earnings increases following a downward turn in FY '09 and streak of many negative comparisons after it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/02/08.
