QCOR - NASDAQ - DRUGS - Biotechnology Questcor Pharmaceuticals	$48.02	+1.61 3.46%	$49.13	$49.13	-2.27%	1,538,081 81.24%	1,893,200
Most Recent Note for QCOR - 6/15/2012 12:35:01 PM Touched another new high today. A considerable volume-driven gain on 6/12/12 helped it break out above previously stubborn resistance in the $46 area. The M criteria argues against any new buying efforts until a FTD confirms a market rally. The 6/12/12 mid-day report noted - "Its pullback in the past 6-weeks retraced more than 50% of the previous 21-week cup shaped base, so it is not recognized as a sound cup-with-handle type base. Reported earnings +205% on +161% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Strong prior quarterly comparisons with solid sales revenues and earnings increases satisfy the C criteria of the fact-based system. Downward turn in its FY '09 earnings was previously noted as a flaw concerning the A criteria. Rallied nearly 4-fold from its February 2011 lows in the $12 area."

The latest quarter ended October 31, 2011 showed -3% earnings (bad C criteria) with +9% sales revenues versus the year ago period. A downward turn in FY '10 earnings is a flaw with respect to the annual earnings history (A criteria) guidelines."
