Most Recent Note - 8/2/2010 12:16:21 PM Y - After gapping up and reaching a new 52-week high it has reversed into the red, which is considered distributional action. This Brazil-based beverage firm is holding its ground while churning a lot of volume today.

Most Recent Note - 8/2/2010 12:25:50 PM Y - Holding its ground today perched at all-time highs after its 7/29/10 gain with more than twice average volume helped it trade above its pivot point and trigger a technical buy signal. Due to report earning on Tuesday, August 3rd after the close. CACC was featured in the 7/29/10 mid-day report (read here) after quietly reaching new high territory. The pivot point cited is based on its 2/01/10 high plus ten cents. Its quarterly and annual earnings track record is a good match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines, as opposed to its peer in the Finance - Consumer Loans group, Americredit Corp (ACF), which recently bankrupted GM bid to acquire the day after President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Based on weak action CACC was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 3/16/10. It has steadily risen since subsequently finding support above the $38 area cited as a support level to watch. >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 7/29/2010.

No overhead supply exists to act as resistance. Noted in the 7/30/10 mid-day report - "Encountered resistance when approaching the $7 threshold in recent months while forming an orderly base-on-base type pattern. It has now strung together 3 consecutive quarterly comparisons showing strong sales and earnings increases (C criteria) after a streak of negative quarterly comparisons versus the year ago period. Leadership (L criteria) in the Semiconductor group is also reassuring. Caution is called for, as the investment system guidelines discourage buying low-priced stocks."

IDSA - NASDAQ - DIVERSIFIED SERVICES - Business/Management Services Industrial Svcs Of Amer	$18.76	+1.27 7.26%	$18.99	$18.99	-1.21%	438,502 301.58%	145,400
Most Recent Note for IDSA - 8/2/2010 12:59:44 PM Hit another new 52-week high today after stubbornly holding its ground following a streak of gains backed by heavy volume. Technically, it is now extended after rising from an 11-week cup shaped pattern with no handle. The Louisville-based Pollution Control - Services firm still has only 3.55 million shares (S criteria) in the public float after a 3:2 split effective 6/02/10, which could lead to more dramatic price volatility in the event of any abrupt institutional buying or selling. Based on weakness it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 9/09/08 and subsequently slumped from $10.94 to as low as $2.39 before rebounding impressively. Recent quarters showed a dramatic upturn in sales revenues and earnings after some negative comparisons.

Most Recent Note for JOBS - 8/2/2010 1:02:04 PM Hitting another new 52-week high today after stubbornly holding its ground following gains backed by above average volume.

The 2 latest quarters showed better sales revenues and earnings improvement, but its prior quarterly and annual earnings history (C and A criteria) has been below guidelines of the fact-based investment system."

Most Recent Note for OPEN - 8/2/2010 1:16:30 PM Consolidating -7% off its all-time high just above support at its 50 DMA and upward trendline.

It got off to a very volatile start after its 5/11/09 IPO at $20, and it slumped for more than 4 months after it completed a Secondary Offering on 9/23/09. The company's management still owns a 32% stake in its shares and top-rated funds owning shares rose from 50 in Sep '09 to 74 in Jun '10..
