Most Recent Note for NQ - 9/16/2013 12:44:40 PM Found support while consolidating above its 50 DMA line, and now hitting new 52-week highs with above average volume behind today's 4th consecutive gain. Stalled after its considerable gap up gain on 8/13/13 and it did not form a sound base pattern of sufficient length since noted in prior mid-day reports with caution - "Patient investors may watch for a secondary buy point or new base to potentially form and be noted in the coming weeks. Quarterly sales and earnings comparisons have shown great increases percentage-wise in recent quarterly comparisons through Jun '13 satisfying the C criteria. Annual earnings (A criteria) has also been strong. This Chinese Computer Software - Security firm is perched at new 52-week and all-time highs, very extended from any sound base after an impressive rally in the past month. The stock got off to a poor start from its 5/05/11 IPO priced at $12."
