Most Recent Note for NOAH - 8/23/2013 12:33:33 PM Holding its ground today after retreating from its 52-week high with a considerable volume-driven loss on the prior session. The 8/22/13 mid-day report noted - "Reported earnings +142% on +132% sales revenues for the second quarter of 2013. Strong sales and earnings acceleration helped this Chinese provider of investment products to better match the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines. Recently rallied from a deep "V" shaped consolidation, not a sound base, and prior highs in the $14 area may now act as support. Patient investors may watch for a new base or secondary buy point to potentially form and be noted in the weeks ahead. Additionally, the major averages (M criteria) must improve before new buying efforts may be justified."
