Gapped up again today and hit another new 52-week high after clearing chart resistance in the $35 area on the prior session. Reported earnings +24% on +11% sales revenues for the quarter ended July 31, 2011 versus the prior session. When rebounding above its 50 DMA line on 8/29/11 the mid-day report noted - "Sales revenues and earnings increases in the Jan '11 and Apr '11 quarterly comparisons versus the year ago periods were borderline or below the investment system guidelines."

Holding its ground near its 52-week high after volume-driven gains following choppy action in recent weeks, not a very sound looking base pattern. Reported earnings +26% on +12% sales for the quarter ended July 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Good annual earnings history and quarterly earnings increases above the +25% meet the investment system's C and A guidelines, however sales revenues have shown just steady increases in the +12-14% range."

Choppy consolidation in recent weeks is not considered a sound base pattern, yet after repairing a recent 50 DMA violation it is now perched within close striking distance of its all-time high. A considerable gap up on 7/28/11 came after reporting earnings +133% on +127% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Bullish action has continued while it rarely and briefly paused to consolidate since noted in the 5/23/11 mid-day report - "Inching higher today for new all-time high and it could go on to produce more climactic gains.. It completed a Public Offering on 5/05/11 and technically formed an advanced '3-weeks tight' pattern, however a new pivot point is not being cited. It is trading +80% above its 200 DMA line, which serves as a reminder for investors to watch out for sell signals more than having a bias toward any new buying efforts. Reported earnings +129% on +101% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. Held its ground following its considerable gap up on 3/10/11 after news of a deal with Starbucks Corp (SBUX). It has maintained a very strong sales revenues and earnings growth history solidly satisfying the C and A criteria. This previously featured leader was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/01/10."

Gapped up today, approaching its 52-week high while wedging higher without great volume conviction. It has been rebounding after a deep pullback under its 50 DMA and 200 DMA lines since last noted in the 7/19/11 mid-day report - "No overhead supply remains to act as resistance. Sales revenues have been +12-19% and earnings increases above the +25% guideline for the past 4 comparisons through Mar '11 versus the year ago period(s). The prior growth history for this Retail/Wholesale Building Products firm included a downturn in FY '09 which raises concerns with respect to the A criteria of the fact-based investment system's guidelines."

Hitting another new 52-week and all-time high today after a choppy 5-week consolidation that is not recognized as a sound base pattern. There is no overhead supply remaining to act as resistance. Reported earnings +193% on +59% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Technically it found support near prior highs during its quiet consolidation after noted in the 7/14/11 mid-day report when rising from a cup-with-handle pattern. FY '10 was its first ever profitable year, while the A criteria calls for a strong 3-5 year earnings growth history. Recent quarterly comparisons showed greatly improved sales revenues and earnings increases. The Medical - Ethical Drugs firm rose 80-fold from its low of $0.52 in April 2009. Ownership by top-rated funds rose from 117 in Jun '10 to 243 in Jun '11, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.

Still perched at its 52-week high today with no resistance remaining due to overhead supply, extended from prior chart highs in the $11 area following a spurt of volume-driven gains. Found support near its 200 DMA during its consolidation since noted in the 3/21/11 mid-day report - "Recent quarterly comparisons show sales revenues and earnings increases but its up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history leaves fundamental concerns."

Holding its ground today after technically breaking out with a considerable volume-driven gain for a new 52-week high on the prior session. Leadership in the Mining - Gold/Silver/Gems group (L criteria) has helped it rally among numerous other gold mining firms showing recent strength. Its old 52-week high was hit when noted in the 4/29/11 mid-day report - "Recent quarterly comparisons show sales revenues and earnings improvement, but its prior earnings history is below the investment system guidelines."

Considerable gain today with above average volume for another new 52-week high. There was a brief consolidation above prior highs after a "breakaway gap" on 7/29/11. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Earnings increased by +125% on +26% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Showing impressive sequential acceleration in recent quarterly comparisons, but prior quarterly comparisons showed lackluster sales revenues increases well below the +25% guideline, leaving some fundamental concerns."

Approaching its 52-week high today while wedging higher this week without great volume conviction. Its deep 9-week consolidation included a brief dip below its 200 DMA line since last noted on 7/21/11 as it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list. Technically, the rebound above its 50 DMA line helps its outlook to improve, but it has not formed a sound base pattern.

Hovering at its all-time high today, adding to its impressive streak of volume-driven gains. Recent mid-day reports noted - "Repeatedly noted as extended from any sound base pattern. Found support near its 50 DMA line and well above prior chart resistance on its recent pullback. Reported earnings +78% on +19% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 versus the year ago period and recent quarters were strong, 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."
