Most Recent Note for CBM - 6/28/2013 12:13:25 PM
Touched a new 52-week high since last noted in the 6/05/13 mid-day report, however gains lacked great volume conviction.

Found support at its 200 DMA line then rebounded following its deep consolidation from highs hit when noted in the 10/16/12 mid-day report with caution - "This Medical - Products firm's sales revenues and earnings improved in the Mar and Jun '12 quarters. Prior quarterly and annual earnings (A criteria) history has not been strong and steady.

At the time it had just completed a Secondary Offering of ten million shares sold by Ares Corporate Opportunities Fund II, L.P.

Challenging its 52-week high with today's volume-driven gain. Reported strong sales and earnings increases in the Dec '12 and Mar '13 quarters, but fundamental concerns remain and it faces resistance due to overhead supply up through the $22 level. Went through a deep consolidation below its 50 and 200 DMA lines since noted with caution in the 3/23/12 mid-day report - "The brief recent consolidation was not recognized as a sound base pattern, and prior mid-day reports noted - 'Its 11/16/11 IPO was priced at $8 per share, and the firm's limited history is a concern.

Gapped down today retreating from its 52-week high. Prior highs near $30 may now act as support after rallying from a short "square box" base when last noted in the 6/17/13 mid-day report with caution - "Technically breaking out from a short flat base above prior highs. No resistance remains due to overhead supply. Reported earnings +27% on +25% sales revenues for the Mar '13 quarter. Prior mid-day reports cautioned - 'Limited history since its $15 IPO on 7/25/12 is a concern. Sales revenues grew by +28% over the year ago period in the past 4 quarterly comparisons through Dec '12. However, its earnings history has not been strong and steady and is not a good match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines (C and A criteria)."
