Most Recent Note - 10/30/2014 12:23:16 PM Y - Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 9/19/14 high plus 10 cents. Reported earnings +28% on +52% sales revenues for the Sep '14 quarter. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news, and it is rallying to a new 52-week high today. A strong finish may clinch a convincing technical buy signal. Rebounded with volume-driven gains after a recent dip below its 50 DMA line toward prior highs and its 200 DMA line. Now, no resistance remains due to overhead supply, and it has also tallied 3 consecutive quarterly comparisons with earnings above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). History includes a great annual earnings (A criteria) track record. Dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 8/06/11, it subsequently went through a deep consolidation below its 200 DMA line before rebounding. >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 7/28/2011.

Most Recent Note - 10/30/2014 1:01:31 PM G - Falling again today with above average volume after a 50 DMA line violation on 3 times average volume raised concerns and triggered a technical sell signal on the prior session. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. The company reported earnings +59% on +59% sales for the Sep '14 quarter but warned of rising costs. Historic studies show that investors have a far better chance of success when buying as a stock is breaking out, not buying on pullbacks.
