It is -13.8% off its 52-week high hit last week, and only a prompt rebound above its short-term average would help its outlook. >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 9/7/2011.

Most Recent Note for EZCH - 9/14/2011 12:14:35 PM Holding its ground today after 2 consecutive big volume-driven gains helped it rally abruptly from below its 50 and 200 DMA lines and rise toward its 52-week high.

Most Recent Note for HITK - 9/14/2011 12:20:08 PM Up again today, perched within close striking distance of its 52-week high. The 2 prior mid-day reports noted - "Gains last week helped it approach its 52-week high, but it has not formed a sound base pattern. Recent quarterly comparisons have shown strong sales revenues and earnings increases (good C criteria). Losses in FY '07 & '08 are a flaw concerning the investment system's A criteria, and consensus estimates calling for earnings -8% in FY '12 and -9% in FY '13 are additional cause for concern."
