Most Recent Note for SFUN - 11/13/2012 12:51:51 PM Consolidating near its 52-week high, encountering distributional pressure. Reported earnings +27% on +17% sales revenues for the Sep '12 quarter. Its Mar and Jun '12 quarters showed better earnings after a sub par Dec '11 marred its strong earnings track record. It went through a deep consolidation, and yet it now faces a little resistance due to overhead supply up to its all-time high hit when noted cautiously in the 5/10/11 mid-day report - "Getting extended from a sound base while on track for an 8th consecutive weekly gain. Rallying following a "breakaway gap" clearing a 5 month base on 5/05/11 after an analyst upgrade. Showed strong sales and earnings in the Sep and Dec '10 comparisons and it is due to report results for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 on Friday, May 13th.

Prior mid-day reports noted - "Quarterly and annual earnings (C and A criteria) increases have not been strong and steady enough to meet the guidelines."
