Most Recent Note for MSG - 7/3/2013 11:34:13 AM Finding support near its 50 DMA line and perched just -5% off its 52-week high. Prior highs in the $58 area acted as support during its consolidation since last noted in the 5/21/13 mid-day report - "Reported earnings +23% on +3% sales revenues for the Mar '13 quarter. Sub par sales revenues increases indicate no great growth in demand for new products or services (N criteria) while the stock is at new highs, and prior mid-day reports repeatedly cautioned - 'Prior quarterly comparisons and annual earnings (A criteria) growth have not been strong and steady, so it is fundamentally below guidelines of the fact-based investment system.'"
