Gapped up today rebounding toward its 52-week high from below its 50 DMA line after pricing yet another Secondary Offering. Fundamental concerns remain. Completed a Secondary Offering on 4/19/13 and then rallied to new 52-week highs since noted in the 3/13/13 mid-day report with caution - "There was a 'negative reversal' at its 52-week high on 2/20/13 and it is extended from any sound base. Limited history is a concern. It has rallied since its $16 IPO on 10/04/13"

Gapped up today, rallying toward its 52-week high. Reported big earnings versus a year-ago loss with sales revenues +130% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Slumped below its 50 DMA line then rebounded since last noted in the 6/05/13 mid-day report with caution - "Reported earnings +164% on +31% sales revenues for the Mar '13 quarter, but fundamental concerns remain due to its erratic earnings history. When rallying above its 2011 high into new high territory it was noted in 3/13/13 mid-day report with caution - 'Quarterly and annual earnings history (C and A criteria) is not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines.'"

Gapped up again today for another considerable gain and new 52-week high, adding to its impressive streak of gains from support at its 50 DMA line. The 7/16/13 mid-day report cautioned - "Quarterly comparisons show strong earnings increases meeting the C criteria however a downturn in FY '10 and '11 earnings is a flaw concerning the annual earnings history (A criteria) of the fact-based investment system."

Pulling back from its 52-week high toward support at its 50 DMA line. Reported earnings -8% on -6% sales revenues for the Mar '13 quarter. Prior mid-day reports cautioned - "Reported earnings +25% on -3% sales for the Dec '12 quarter. Prior quarterly comparisons showed sub par earnings increases (C criteria). A downturn in FY '09 was noted previously as a flaw that makes its annual earnings (A criteria) history fall short of the investment system's guidelines."

Hitting a new 52-week high with today's volume-driven gain. Fundamental concerns remain, yet technically it is clearing an orderly base formed above its 50 DMA line since last noted in the 5/20/13 mid-day report with caution - "Recent quarterly comparisons through Mar '13 show improving sales revenues and earnings. It survived but failed to impress since last noted long ago in the 7/09/09 mid-day report - 'Its sub par fundamentals make it a questionable candidate with respect to the system's guidelines.'"

Undercut its 50 DMA line then rebounded since last noted in the 6/07/13 mid-day report with caution - "Fundamental concerns remain with respect to the fact-based investment system's C and A criteria (earnings history). Low-priced stocks are discouraged from consideration unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied. It survived but failed to impress since long ago noted in the 12/17/09 mid-day report with caution - 'Its lack of sales revenue growth and a substantial downturn in earnings in FY '09 are fundamental concerns. Gapped down today, pulling back from its 52-week high. A streak of gains in 12 of the past 13 sessions was marked by above average volume as it broke out above resistance in the mid-$14 area.'"

Gapped up today for a considerable volume-driven gain and yet another new 52-week high. Reported earnings of 15 cents per share versus 2 cents per share (up +650%) on +22% sales revenues for the June '13 quarter. Held its ground stubbornly at its 50 DMA line again since last noted in the 7/01/13 mid-day report. Made great progress after a streak of consecutive gains starting with considerable gap up gains 4/18/13 and 4/19/13 backed by very heavy volume. It may be an interesting turnaround story, however its erratic annual earnings history (A criteria) is not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines.

Reported earnings +476% on +43% sales revenues for the Jun '13 quarter. Prior quarterly and annual earnings history is not a match with the fact-based investment system's C and A criteria. Perched near its 52-week high with no resistance due to overhead supply. It survived but failed to impress since last noted in 4/26/10 mid day report with caution - "Recent quarters showed greatly improved sales and earnings increases after a streak of several negative comparisons. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history is poor. SNDK gapped up today for a considerable gain and another new 52-week high after reporting strong results for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Previously noted its gap up on 4/14/10 for a considerable gain and new 52-week high amid strong leadership (L criteria) in the Semiconductor group. It steadily rose since noted on 3/23/10 and showed healthy action since its mid-day report appearance on 3/01/10 when noted as rising from a 'double bottom' type base."

Holding its ground stubbornly at its 52-week high, extended from any sound base. Due to report financial results for second quarter ended June 30, 2013 after the market close on Thursday, July 25, 2013. Prior mid-day reports repeatedly cautioned - "Reported earnings +33% on +44% sales revenues for the Mar '13 quarter, making 6 consecutive quarters with earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Completed a new Public Offering on 9/06/12. A downturn in its FY '11 earnings is a flaw concerning the annual earnings (A criteria) history, making it not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines."

Touched a new 52-week high today then reversed into the red. Rallied from support at its 50 DMA line with a spurt of volume-driven gains since last noted in the 6/24/13 mid-day report with caution. Quarterly earnings increases through Mar '13 have been persistently below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) showed steady increases since a downturn in FY '08. This Ireland-based firm hailing from the Medical - Products industry group is not a match with the winning models from the book, "How To Make Money In Stocks".

Reported earnings +17% on -7% sales for the Jun '12 quarter. Prior mid-day reports repeatedly cautioned - "Reported earnings +41% on -7% sales revenues for the Mar '13 quarter. Lackluster sales revenues growth history makes it not a good match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines as it reveals no great demand for new (N criteria) products or services.
