Most Recent Note for BGS - 6/1/2012 11:49:25 AM Pulling back today after a volume-driven gain on the prior session challenged its 52-week high. Reported earnings +30% on +20% sales revenues for the quarter ended Mar 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Its report of earnings +7% on +6% sales revenues for the quarter ended Dec 31, 2011 versus the year ago period marked its first quarterly comparison with earnings below the +25% minimum guideline in years. Very little overhead supply remains to act as resistance up through the $24 area. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Its earnings history has been strong, but the lack of sales revenues growth raises concerns that there is not great or growing demand for a new (N criteria) product or services."

Most Recent Note for TFM - 6/1/2012 12:18:13 PM Perched at its 52-week today after volume-driven gains this week including a considerable gap up on 5/30/12 from below its 50 DMA line. A downturn in FY '11 earnings is a flaw concerning the A criteria. The M criteria argues against new buying efforts in all stocks until a new confirmed rally with a solid follow through day from at least one of the major averages. The 5/30/12 mid-day report noted - "Reported earnings +33% on +23% sales revenues for the quarter ended April 30, 2012 versus the year ago period.

Most Recent Note for TWTC - 6/1/2012 12:20:24 PM Churning heavy volume in recent weeks without making meaningful price progress, action which indicates that it has been encountering distributional pressure.

Most Recent Note for UMBF - 6/1/2012 12:22:07 PM Perched within close striking distance of its 52-week high, but pulling back today.

Most Recent Note for WMT - 6/1/2012 12:28:29 PM Perched at its new 52-week high today after a spurt of volume-driven gains.

Its Dec '11 comparison +17% was previously noted as its weakest earnings increase in more than 5 quarterly comparisons and below the +25% minimum guideline. Its annual earnings (A criteria) growth history included a downturn in FY '09 raising additional concerns with regard to the fundamental guidelines of the fact-based investment system."
