Most Recent Note - 10/2/2012 12:17:04 PM Y - Color code is changed to yellow with a new pivot point cited based on its 9/14/12 high while building on a cup-with-handle base pattern. Volume-driven gains above its pivot point are necessary to confirm a technical buy signal before action may be justified by disciplined investors. Fundamentals remain strong (good C and A criteria). Rebounded impressively after a deep consolidation below its 200 DMA line since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 5/17/12. >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 4/12/2012.

Current earnings per share have been up +25% or more in 3 of the past 4 comparisons, which is good concerning the C criteria. However, quarterly sales revenues increases in the +8-9% are below the robust growth guidelines of the investment system, while sales should be up +18-25% or more or showing great acceleration over prior quarters."

Most Recent Note for SYT - 10/2/2012 12:32:59 PM Hitting a new 52-week high with above average volume behind today's 5th consecutive gain. Earnings were +10% in the Mar and Jun '12 quarters, below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). It survived a deep consolidation below its 200 DMA line, yet it failed to impress since last noted in the 6/30/11 mid-day report - "This Switzerland-based giant in the Chemicals - Agricultural industry group has endured some distributional pressure after reaching new all-time highs in recent weeks. Faces no resistance due to overhead supply. Annual earnings growth (A criteria) was strong in years past, but flattened out from FY '08 through FY '10. Waning ownership interest from top-rated funds (I criteria) is another cause for concern. It is not a good match with the fact-based investment system's models of past great winners."

The past 8 quarterly earnings comparisons through Mar '12 were below the +25% minimum guideline of the fact-based investment system."
