Held its ground following a considerable gap up gain on 11/07/13, and hitting a new 52-week high today while rallying above previously stubborn resistance in the $34 area.

Prior mid-day reports cautioned - "It faces resistance due to overhead supply up through the $45 level."

Hitting yet another new 52-week high today while adding to its recent spurt of volume-driven gains.

(AMMD) in a near $3 Billion deal. It was already extended from a sound base as noted after 3/30/11 when it technically broke out of a long flat base while merger news involving Cephalon Inc (CEPH) after Valeant Pharmaceuticals Int'l (VRX) sparked bullish action in the industry.'"

Hovering near 52-week and all-time highs today after 10 consecutive weekly gains. Reported earnings +30% on +13% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 versus the year ago period.

Most Recent Note for SILC - 11/13/2013 12:51:00 PM
This Israeli manufacturer of Computer - Networking devices hit a new 52-week high on the prior session with a volume-driven gain. Recently reported earnings +49% on +49% sales revenues for the Sep '13, continuing its streak of strong quarterly earnings increases satisfying the C criteria. Concerning the A criteria, there was a downturn in FY '08 and '09, a lingering flaw with respect to the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines. Its small supply (S criteria) of only 3.78 million shares in the public float can contribute to greater price volatility.
