Holding its ground stubbornly and wedging higher after a recently noted streak of gains with above average volume while approaching its 52-week high. Reported earnings +29% on +20% sales in the Jun '13 quarter, and in 3 of the past 4 prior quarterly comparisons the earnings increase was above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Followed the downturn in its FY '09 earnings with strong annual earnings increases (A criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 206 in Sep '12 to 247 in Jun '13, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It has a large supply of 470 million shares outstanding.

Encountering distributional pressure and retreating below its 50 DMA line. Prior mid-day reports cautioned members - "Reported earnings +19% on +8% sales revenues for the Jun '13 quarter, below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings growth (A criteria) has been slow and steady since a downturn in FY '08. Consensus estimates for earnings growth +11% and +9% in FY '13 and 14, respectively, may be cause for some concern."

Down today with above average volume, abruptly retreating from its 52-week high hit last week. Prior mid-day reports repeatedly cautioned - "Reported greatly improved sales and earnings for the Jun '13 quarter. Consolidating above prior highs after its recent rally from a cup-with-handle base formed since noted in the 1/11/13 mid-day report with caution. This Singapore-based maker of diesel engines for trucks and busses in China has an erratic earnings history.

Consolidating -3.8% off its 52-week high and just above support at its 50 DMA line with little resistance due to overhead supply. Reported earnings +20% on +13% sales revenues for the Jun '13 quarter. Earnings results for the the past 3 quarters missed the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) of the fact-based system. It has earned high ranks including an 86 Relative Strength Rating, and its Relative Strength line confirmed the rally into new high territory since May when noted in the 5/02/13 mid-day report.

Rebounding toward its 52-week high, however it has not formed a sound base pattern. Found support near its 50 DMA line during its choppy consolidation since last noted in the 8/23/13 mid-day report with caution - "Reported earnings +142% on +132% sales revenues for the second quarter of 2013. Strong sales and earnings acceleration helped this Chinese provider of investment products to better match the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines. Recently rallied from a deep "V" shaped consolidation, not a sound base, and prior highs in the $14 area may now act as support. Patient investors may watch for a new base or secondary buy point to potentially form and be noted in the weeks ahead. Additionally, the major averages (M criteria) must improve before new buying efforts may be justified."

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."

Most Recent Note for TRIP - 9/23/2013 1:11:44 PM
Found support above its 50 DMA line following a sharp pullback while consolidating since last noted in the 8/06/13 mid-day report with caution. Reported improved earnings +27% on +25% sales revenues for the Jun '13 quarter. Fundamentals remain a concern, although it now has 2 quarters with earnings above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) of the fact-based investment system.

Most Recent Note for TW - 9/23/2013 1:13:05 PM
Holding its ground at its 52-week high following 4 consecutive gains backed by above average volume. It is very extended from any sound base. Prior mid-day reports repeatedly cautioned - "Reported earnings +9% on +6% sales for the Jun '13 quarter. Fundamental concerns remain with respect to the C and A criteria. Quarterly and annual earning increases have not been strong and steady like the fundamentally superior candidates and winning models in the book, 'How To Make Money In Stocks'."

Most Recent Note for VC - 9/23/2013 1:15:42 PM
Solid volume-driven gain today for a new 52-week high. Found support well above prior highs and its 50 DMA line then wedged higher since last noted in the 8/16/13 mid-day report with caution - "Showed better results in the Mar and Jun '13 quarters but fundamental concerns remain. Quarterly and annual earnings history (C and A criteria) are not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines."

Most Recent Note for WAB - 9/23/2013 1:19:47 PM
Perched at its 52-week high today and no overhead supply remains to act as resistance. A 2:1 split impacted the share prices on 6/12/13. The 2 latest quarterly earnings increases were below the +25% guideline (C criteria). Reported earnings +15% on +5% sales for the Jun '13 quarter. This manufacturer of value-added equipment for locomotives has an annual earnings (A criteria) history that has not been strong and steady. It survived but failed to impress since it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 9/17/08.
