Most Recent Note for AFOP - 7/29/2013 12:12:24 PM
Hitting yet another new 52-week high today after a brief consolidation. It may rally for more climactic gains but it is very extended from the previously noted "ascending base" pattern. This Sunnyvale, CA based Telecom - Fiber Optics firm showed strong increases in sales and earnings above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) through the Jun '13 period. Prior mid-day reports cautioned - "Up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history is a fundamental concern, not meeting the fact-based investment system's guidelines."

Wedging further into new 52-week high territory with gains in recent weeks lacking great volume conviction while getting more extended from any sound base. Prior mid-day reports cautioned - "Earnings in FY '11 were flat versus the prior year, and its limited trading history is cause for some concern. Showed strong sales revenues growth with earnings increases well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) in the 3 latest quarterly comparisons through Mar '13."

Most Recent Note for BITA - 7/29/2013 12:20:44 PM
This China-based Internet-Content firm is perched -7.9% from its 52-week high and near multi-year highs on the right side of a choppy 12-week base pattern. Quarterly and annual earnings (C and A criteria) history has been strong. Its small supply (S criteria) of only 14.4 million shares in the public float can contribute to great volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

Rallying within close striking distance of its 52-week high with today's considerable volume-driven gain clearing an orderly base above its 50 DMA line.

Pulling back toward prior highs and its 50 DMA line with volume running at an above average pace behind today's 5th consecutive small loss. Earnings history is not a match with the fact-based investment system's C and A criteria, and its lack of sales revenues growth indicates no great demand for new (N criteria) products or services.

Gapped up today and its considerable volume-driven gain has it nearly challenging its 52-week high with little resistance remaining due to overhead supply. Found support near its 50 DMA line during its consolidation since last noted in the 5/15/13 mid-day report with cautioned - "Completed a new Public Offering on 5/09/13, and an earlier one was completed on 6/13/12. Shares split 3/2 effective 2/25/13. Reported earnings +24% on +31% sales revenues for the Mar '13 quarter. Sequential deceleration in sales revenues and earnings increases in quarterly comparisons was noted as cause for concern. Found support at its 200 DMA line during its consolidation since noted in the 2/13/13 mid-day report with caution - 'Annual earnings (A criteria) history has not been strong and steady, but improved greatly following losses in FY '06-08.'"

Rallying toward its 52-week high with today's 3rd consecutive gain while clearing an orderly flat base. Due to report earnings tomorrow for the Jun '13 quarter, and volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. Reported earnings +25% on +41% sales for the Mar '13 quarter, right at the minimum earnings guideline concerning the C criteria, showing worrisome deceleration in sequential sales revenues and earnings comparisons. Abruptly retreated and went through a very deep consolidation below its 200 DMA line then rebounded impressively since noted in the 7/09/12 mid-day report when hitting a new 52-week high -"Getting more extended from prior highs. It hardly looked back since a considerable volume-driven gain on 6/12/12 helped it break out above previously stubborn resistance in the $46 area. Reported earnings +205% on +161% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Strong prior quarterly comparisons with solid sales revenues and earnings increases satisfy the C criteria of the fact-based system. Downward turn in its FY '09 earnings was previously noted as a flaw concerning the A criteria. Rallied 4-fold from its February 2011 lows in the $12 area."
