G - Traded above average volume in recent weeks without making meaningful price progress. This distributional action has raised concerns, yet it has not suffered worrisome technical damage. Its recent low ($13.80 on 10/03/12) defines near-term support above its 50 DMA line where violations would trigger technical sell signals.

Most Recent Note for ADS - 10/11/2012 11:54:27 AM
Encountering distributional pressure this week after recently wedging to new 52-week highs with gains lacking great volume conviction. Trading up from earlier lows today after undercutting prior highs in the $138 area and its 50 DMA line recently noted as near-term support to watch. Sub par earnings increases in the 3 latest quarterly reports (Dec '11, Mar and Jun '12) raised fundamental concerns. Fundamental and technical deterioration led to it being dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 5/21/12, yet it has since proven resilient.

Hitting a new 52-week high today with higher volume behind a solid gain.

Prior quarterly and annual earnings (A criteria) history has not been strong and steady. Low-priced stocks are discouraged from consideration as buy candidates under the fact-based system unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied."

Hovering at its 52-week high today, extended from any sound base. Underlying fundamentals (annual earnings history, A criteria) remain a concern. Stubbornly held its ground following a recent spurt of volume-driven gains. Found support near its 50 DMA line while consolidating since July when it was noted in 2 mid-day reports - "It survived but failed to impress since noted in the 8/26/09 mid-day report -'Recent quarters showed big earnings improvements over the year ago period. However, sales revenues increases have been erratic, below guidelines, and rather minuscule (at $5-7 million or so per quarter).'"

Reported earnings +12% on +7% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 versus the year ago period. Prior mid-day reports repeatedly noted - "Consolidating above prior highs and its 50 DMA line in the $11 area that define chart support. Low-priced stocks are discouraged from consideration unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied. Annual earnings (A criteria) showed steady increases since a downturn in FY '08. This Ireland-based firm hailing from the Medical - Products industry group is not a match with the winning models from the book, 'How To Make Money In Stocks'. The past 8 quarterly earnings comparisons through Mar '12 were below the +25% minimum guideline of the fact-based investment system."
