Last noted in the 9/27/12 mid-day report - "Encountered distributional pressure this week, retreating from its all-time high. Reported earnings +20% on +23% sales for the Jun '12 quarter, sequentially decelerating and below the +25% minimum earnings guideline of the fact-based system. Companies currently on the 'Featured Stocks' list are the most ideal candidates fitting the fact-based investment system's guidelines before becoming too heavily owned by the institutional crowd."

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