Most Recent Note for BITA - 6/12/2013 12:36:17 PM Quarterly and annual earnings (C and A criteria) history has been strong. This China-based Internet-Content firm is perched within close striking distance of its 52-week high and near multi-year highs but it has not formed a sound base pattern. It has rallied with above average volume behind 4 consecutive gains after finding recent support near its 50 DMA line. Its small supply (S criteria) of only 14.4 million shares in the public float can contribute to great volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

Strong sales revenues and solid earnings increases in the Oct '12, Jan and Apr '13 quarterly comparisons versus the year ago periods satisfy the C criteria. Up and down annual earnings (A criteria) is a concern. Limited and erratic history is a concern since it completed a Secondary Offering on 10/04/12."

Most Recent Note for CELG - 6/12/2013 12:48:55 PM Gapped up above its 50 DMA line but reversed the early gain and slumped into the red. That important short-term average may now act as a resistance level following previously noted technical sell signals including the violation of its 5/02/13 low $114.05.

Most Recent Note for IIIN - 6/12/2013 12:55:44 PM Consolidating in a tight range near its 52-week high since last noted in the 5/24/13 mid-day report with caution - "This Mount Airy, NC-based maker of steel wire reinforcements and prestressed concrete strands has an erratic earnings history that is not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines (C and A criteria).

Most Recent Note for OAS - 6/12/2013 1:03:24 PM Inching into new high territory today and making its 2nd consecutive mid-day report appearance. A volume-driven gain on 6/07/13 helped it reach a new 52-week high and no resistance remains due to overhead supply. Quarterly comparisons through Mar '13 show greatly improved sales revenues and earnings increases versus the year-ago periods. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history showed losses through FY '10, while growth in recent years makes it a better match with the investment system's guidelines. The Oil & Gas US Exploration/Production group has a mediocre 52 Relative Strength Rating which is a concern with respect to the L criteria, however other companies in the group are showing reassuring strength.

Superior buy candidates under the investment system's guidelines always showed strong sales revenues increases indicative of great demand for their products or services.

Most Recent Note for USNA - 6/12/2013 1:33:15 PM Went through a deep consolidation below its 200 DMA line and then a rebound impressively this year. Perched at its 52-week high with today's 5th consecutive gain, it is extended from prior highs in the $50 area and it has not formed a sound base. This network marketer of dietary supplements, health foods, and skin care products has been showing improvement in quarterly comparisons through Mar '13 and the C criteria is satisfied now by 5 consecutive earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline. Its annual earnings (A criteria) growth rate has been improving since a downturn in FY '08. Ownership by top-rated funds fell from 256 in Sep '12 to 234 in Mar '13 raising some concern with respect to the I criteria.

Most Recent Note for WAB - 6/12/2013 1:35:26 PM Pulling back toward its 50 DMA line today as a 2:1 split impacts the current share price.

It survived but failed to impress since it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 9/17/08."
