Most Recent Note for AFOP - 7/5/2013 12:19:44 PM
Hitting yet another new 52-week high with above average volume behind today's 4th consecutive considerable gain, rallying after forming an "ascending base" pattern. Found support above its 50 DMA line during the pullback since noted in the 6/18/13 mid-day report with caution - "Extended from any sound base. Powered higher after recently raising guidance for its 2nd quarter. This Sunnyvale, CA based Telecom - Fiber Optics firm showed better increases in sales and earnings for the Sep, Dec '12, and Mar '13 quarters versus the year ago period, above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Prior quarterly and annual earnings (A criteria) history has been below the fact-based investment system's guidelines."

Perched at new 52-week and all-time highs following a spurt of volume-driven gains. Shares split 2:1 effective 6/27/13. Fundamental concerns remain, as when long ago noted in the 11/04/11 mid-day report - "Quarterly and annual earnings history (C and A criteria) has not been strong and steady enough to meet the investment system's guidelines."

Consolidating above its 50 DMA line. Reported earnings +3% on +2% sales revenues for the Mar '13 quarter, marking 6 consecutive quarters below the +25% minimum guideline for earnings growth (C criteria). Found support above its 200 DMA line in recent months after weak action and deteriorating fundamentals prompted it to be dropped from the Featured Stocks list.

Gapped up today and hit a new 52-week high, rallying from an orderly base. Found support near its 50 DMA line after recently encountering distributional pressure.

Consolidating in a tight range since a considerable gap up and volume-driven gain on 5/29/13 for a new 52-week high on news it will merge with Stewart Enterprises (STEI). Stubbornly held its ground and made gradual progress since noted in the 4/25/13 mid-day report when also tallying a considerable volume-driven gain for a new high - "Reported earnings +40% on +8% sales revenues for the Mar '13 quarter. Prior mid-day reports cautioned - 'Quarterly earnings increases have been below the +25% guideline and sales revenues increases were only in the +3-7% range. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history also falls short of the fundamental guidelines of the investment system.'"

Most Recent Note for SIG - 7/5/2013 12:30:03 PM
Rebounding above its 50 DMA line today, yet it faces resistance due to overhead supply up through the $72 level. Prior reports cautioned members due to fundamental concerns - "Reported earnings +18% on +12% sales revenues for the Jan '13 quarter. Reported earnings +43% on +1% sales revenues for the quarter ended October 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Earnings increases were below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) in the 3 prior quarterly comparisons and sales revenues growth has been sub par, making it not a good match with the guidelines of the fact-based investment system. This UK-based retailer of jewelry has an annual earnings (A criteria) history that has been improving after a downward turn in FY '08 and '09."

Most Recent Note for SILC - 7/5/2013 12:32:19 PM
This Israeli manufacturer of Computer - Networking devices faces no resistance due to overhead supply while hitting another new 52-week high today, getting more extended from any sound base. Found support at its 50 DMA line when noted in the 6/24/13 mid-day report with caution -"Reported strong sales and earnings increases for the Mar '13 and Dec '12 quarters, accelerating after a streak of sub par quarterly earnings comparisons (bad C criteria). Concerning the A criteria, there was a downturn in FY '09, also making it not a good match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines."

Most Recent Note for SSYS - 7/5/2013 12:41:45 PM
Gapped up today, rallying toward multi-month resistance in the $92-94 area. Reported earnings +54% on +116% sales revenues for the Mar '13 quarter versus the year ago period. Downward turn in its FY '09 earnings was previously noted as a flaw with respect to the investment system's A criteria. Found support near its 200 DMA line during a deep consolidation earlier this year. Ownership by top-rated funds rose from 246 in Sep '12 to 277 in Jun '13, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It is an interesting turn around story with a small supply of 36.7 million shares (S criteria) outstanding. Longtime members may recall that SSYS was long ago (2003) featured in reports.

Consolidating above support at its 50 DMA line. Reported earnings +0% on +9% sales revenues for the Mar '13 quarter. Prior mid-day reports cautioned - "Recent quarterly comparisons through Dec '12 showed improving sales and earnings increases, but fundamental concerns remain following a downturn in FY '11 earnings. Not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines (A criteria). Low-priced stocks are discouraged from consideration unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied."

Inching into new 52-week high territory this week with gains lacking great volume conviction. Reported earnings +42% on +16% sales revenues for the Mar '13 quarter, improving after its Dec '12 comparison below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Stayed above important support at its 50 DMA line when consolidating and made steady progress since noted in the 12/10/12 mid-day report with caution - "It survived but failed to impress, and fundamentals today are below guidelines. The Computer-Tech Services firm was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 9/24/08 due to technical weakness."
