FHCO - NASDAQ - CONSUMER NON-DURABLES - Personal Products Female Health Co	$7.95	-0.14 -1.73%	$8.10	$8.39	-5.24%	116,073 87.93%	132,000
Most Recent Note for FHCO - 10/15/2012 12:38:59 PM Hovering near its 52-week high today, extended from any sound base. Underlying fundamentals (annual earnings history, A criteria) remain a concern.

Low priced stocks are discouraged from consideration under the fact-based investment system unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied.
