AAPL - NASDAQ - COMPUTER HARDWARE - Personal Computers Apple Inc	$375.38	+1.58 0.42%	$378.65	$378.65	-0.86%	11,324,780 80.91%	13,996,600
Most Recent Note for AAPL - 7/19/2011 12:12:05 PM Hitting another new all-time high today ahead of earnings news. With the second largest market cap of all publicly traded firms, AAPL does not fit the mold of a small growth firm unknown by the institutional crowd. It has a stellar earnings track record that solidly satisfies the C and A criteria. After its last appearance on 8/09/10 in the Featured Stock Update section (with detailed notes and an annotated graph) it was noted in multiple mid-day reports through 2010 as it rallied to new all-time highs, and it was also noted a handful of times earlier this year. The Company Profile page includes "View All Notes" and "Featured Articles and Graphs" links which now make it easier than ever to review previous analysis.

Most Recent Note for BCPC - 7/19/2011 12:27:08 PM Hit another new high today after gapping up.

TNH - NYSE - CHEMICALS - Agricultural Chemicals Terra Nitrogen Co Lp	$148.39	+2.49 1.71%	$150.76	$150.76	-1.57%	35,753 60.91%	58,700
Most Recent Note for TNH - 7/19/2011 1:11:45 PM Hit a new 52-week high after gapping today following a strong finish on the prior session. It held its ground at its 50 DMA line after a bout of distributional pressure in June. Recent quarterly comparisons through Mar '11 showed impressive sales revenues acceleration and strong earnings increases versus the year-ago period, but its up and down annual earnings (questionable A) history remains a fundamental concern. There is a small supply of only 4.26 million shares in its float, which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

Most Recent Note for TSCO - 7/19/2011 1:23:32 PM Perched near its all-time high with volume totals cooling while consolidating after a recent streak of gains.

Recent quarterly comparisons show strong earnings (good C criteria) with sales revenues growth improving. TSCO was long ago featured in the June '03 CANSLIM.net News.
