Most Recent Note - 7/26/2012 12:40:54 PM G - Gapped up today and rallied beyond its "max buy" level with above average volume behind its 2nd consecutive gain, and its color code was changed to green after quickly getting extended.

Gapped up on the prior session and spiked to a new 52-week high, finishing strong with a considerable gain backed by 4 times average volume. It was rallying above its 50 DMA line and on the rise when highlighted in yellow in 7/25/12 mid-day report (read here) with new pivot point cited based on its 6/19/12 high while rallying from a "double bottom" base pattern and noted - "It has shown resilience since dropped on 7/09/12 from the Featured Stocks list. A strong finish above its pivot point may clinch a technical buy signal, however the M criteria now argues against any new buying efforts until the major averages confirm a new rally with another follow-through day." >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 6/15/2012.

Most Recent Note - 7/26/2012 12:50:18 PM Y - Erased most of today's early gain after touching a new high and briefly trading above its "max buy" level.

Recent gains after forming an 8-week cup-with-handle base lacked the volume required to trigger a proper new (or add-on) technical buy signal. >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 7/2/2012.
