Most Recent Note for ALGN - 10/15/2010 12:22:19 PM Hovering at its 52-week high today, noted in recent mid-day reports before and after gapping up from a near 7-month cup shaped pattern - "Recent quarterly comparisons (C criteria) show strong sales and earnings increases with impressive acceleration, but it annual earnings (A criteria) history has been erratic.

Most Recent Note for AMZN - 10/15/2010 12:49:13 PM Fundamentals remain very strong with respect to the C and A criteria, and technically there is no resistance remaining due to overhead supply. It is ideal for investors watchlists, however the short consolidation in recent weeks does not appear to be a sound base pattern, while in time it may form a proper base. Based on weak action it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 5/06/10, and after a subsequent trip below its 200 DMA line it recently rallied to new all-time highs. AMZN was featured in the 4/23/10 mid-day report (read here) while it was encountering distributional pressure following strong results for the March 31, 2010 quarter.

Most Recent Note for CEO - 10/15/2010 12:25:05 PM Perched within close striking distance of its all-time high, but weakness today puts a streak of 9 consecutive weekly gains in jeopardy. The huge Chinese Oil and Gas Exploration/Production firm has been churning near its 2007-2008 highs. Its 2 most recent quarterly comparisons showed big sales revenues and earnings increases after a streak of at least 6 prior comparisons with earnings ranging from +6% to -54% versus the year ago period, below guidelines of the fact-based investment system.

Most Recent Note for EE - 10/15/2010 1:07:37 PM Hit a new 52-week high today.

Research shows that earnings growth is the single most important indicator of a stock's potential to make a big price move. The stocks you select should show a major percentage increase in current quarterly earnings per share (the most recently reported quarter) when compared to the prior year's same quarter.

Most Recent Note for GPOR - 10/15/2010 1:12:01 PM Gapped up today for a new 52-week high. Recent mid-day report appearances have followed a long hiatus. It was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 11/8/07, very soon after it had been featured in the October '07 CANSLIM.net News (read here). Interestingly, it completed another Public Offering (PO) on 5/14/10 and at least one other offering following the three that are visible on its chart in the old report. Cynical analysts might ask how many times this OK-based Oil/Gas firm might "go to the well" for more investor money.

Most Recent Note for MKTX - 10/15/2010 1:27:42 PM Enduring mild distributional pressure near its 52-week high in the past few weeks. The most current quarterly quarterly comparisons versus the year ago period showed great very strong earnings increases (good C criteria) and great sales revenues growth. Its history of up and down annual earnings (A criteria) is cause for concern, and the Finance - Investment Bankers industry group currently has a Relative Strength rating of 17 which indicates the group has been a weak laggard rather than a strong leader (L criteria).

Noted in prior mid-day reports - 'It and similar players in the auto-repair arena have shown recent strength while consumers are fixing their old cars and holding off on new car purchases. Earnings and sales revenues increases have been much stronger in recent quarterly comparisons. While the C criteria may be sufficiently satisfied, its annual earnings (A criteria) growth rate has been not especially strong. Additionally, in 6 of its 8 most recent quarterly earnings comparisons there are blue triangles beside the earnings figure on the chart service used by our experts - which indicates pre-tax, non-recurring items were included (where possible, such items are normally removed to provide data better suited for comparison).'"

Quarterly sales should also be up +25% or more or accelerating over prior quarters.
