It is -14.3% 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 ARMH - 9/15/2011 12:09:35 PM Since noted in the 2/15/11 mid-day report it has been consolidating, and it has recently been rising toward its 52-week high after finding support near its 200 DMA line.

Most Recent Note for AUY - 9/15/2011 12:12:13 PM Pulling back from its 52-week high, consolidating after a streak of 6 consecutive weekly gains. Quarterly sales revenues and earnings increases in the 4 latest comparisons through June 30, 2011 were well above the +25% guideline satisfying the C criteria. The downturn in FY '09 earnings is a fundamental flaw concerning the A criteria. With respect to the I criteria, the number of top rated funds owning its shares fell from 913 in Mar '11 to 852 in Jun '11. It survived but failed to impress since 4/23/2008 when it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list and subsequently fell from $13 to $3 over the next 6 months. First it had traded up as much as +25.4% after it was first featured at $15.89 in the February 2008 CANSLIM.net News (read here).

Most Recent Note for CPRT - 9/15/2011 12:22:15 PM Consolidating near its 50 and 200 DMA lines. Its history of steady annual earnings growth (A criteria) was marred by a downturn in FY '09 earnings. Recent quarterly earnings and sales revenues increases have been less than stellar.

Reported earnings +40% on +22% sales revenues for the latest quarter ended June 30, 2011, but the 3 prior quarterly comparisons showed earnings increases below the +25% guideline concerning the C criteria."

Most Recent Note for GMCR - 9/15/2011 12:39:42 PM Hovering near its all-time high today, however its choppy consolidation in the past 6 weeks is not considered a sound base pattern. It was noted in the 8/31/11 mid-day report - "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.'"

Most Recent Note for IAG - 9/15/2011 12:40:57 PM Consolidating -9.8% off its 52-week high today.
