Most Recent Note for CSTR - 11/1/2010 12:17:43 PM
Gapped up today and hit a new 52-week high following a big breakaway gap up from a long "double bottom" pattern with very heavy volume on the prior session. Today's gain helped it trade above the high reached when it was last noted in the 6/03/10 mid-day report after it had steadily climbed following a powerful "breakaway gap" on 4/30/10 to new multi-year highs. In the interim it found support at its 200 DMA line. Recent quarterly comparisons showed mostly strong sales revenues and earnings increases (C criteria), but its annual earnings (A criteria) history is below guidelines of the fact-based system.

Hit a new 52-week high after a small gap up today. Recent mid-day reports noted - "It found support near its 200 DMA line since it was last noted in the 4/30/10 mid-day report. Once again, no overhead supply remains to act as resistance, but the $22 area acted as a resistance level in the past. This Singapore-based maker of diesel engines for trucks and busses in China also went through a deep correction since noted in the mid-day report on 1/12/10. - 'Up and down annual earnings (A criteria) leaves fundamental concerns.'"

Hit yet another new 52-week high today. It steadily rose after recent mid-day reports noted - "Extended from prior chart highs in the $25-26 area. It rallied from an inverse-head-and-shoulders type pattern since finding support at its 200 DMA following the previously noted 'breakaway gap' on 4/27/10. Leadership in the Auto/Truck - Replacement Parts group (L criteria) is a reassuring sign. The C criteria is satisfied as recent quarterly comparisons show earnings increases above the +25% guideline on +15%-20% better sales versus the year ago period. Its up and down annual earnings history (A criteria) is a concern."

Most Recent Note for GSIT - 11/1/2010 12:30:53 PM
This low-priced stock touched a new 52-week high and all-time high today, then reversed into the red. Its old high coincides with the last time it was noted in the mid-day report on 8/03/10, and in the interim it found support at its longer-term 200 DMA line. No overhead supply exists to act as resistance. Noted in earlier mid-day reports - "Encountered resistance when approaching the $7 threshold in recent months while forming an orderly base-on-base type pattern. It has now strung together 3 consecutive quarterly comparisons showing strong sales and earnings increases (C criteria) after a streak of negative quarterly comparisons versus the year ago period. Leadership (L criteria) in the Semiconductor group is also reassuring. Caution is called for, as the investment system guidelines discourage buying low-priced stocks."
