CRZO - NASDAQ - ENERGY - Independent Oil & Gas Carrizo Oil & Gas Inc	$33.95	-0.93 -2.67%	$34.89	$0.00	0.00%	826,568 118.96%	694,800
Most Recent Note for CRZO - 9/4/2013 12:13:44 PM Encountering distributional pressure today and retreating from new 52-week highs hit last week. It faces little additional resistance due to overhead supply up through the $44 area where it topped out in 2011. Three of the past 4 quarterly earnings comparisons through Jun '13 showed greater than +25% increases (C criteria). Up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history remains a fundamental flaw. Last noted in the 2/24/11 mid-day report with caution - "Earnings history is below guidelines."
