Hitting a new 52-week high with today's 3rd consecutive volume-driven gain. Managed a "positive reversal" when last noted on 9/16/14, finding support near prior highs in the $34-36 area. Tallied recent volume-driven gains and was noted in prior mid-day reports with caution while rallying from a bullish reverse-head-and-shoulders base - "Reported earnings +42% on +25% sales revenues for the Jul '14 quarter, an improvement after Apr '14 quarter, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Fundamentals have not been a match with the fact-based investment system since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 8/21/13."
