Most Recent Note for ASPS - 11/21/2011 12:43:42 PM
Holding its ground stubbornly and inching higher since noted in prior mid-day reports - "Rallied to new all-time high territory with a recent spurt of volume-driven gains. Technically, it broke out with a considerable gain on 10/27/11. Quarterly earnings increases have been mostly strong and backed by solid sales revenues increases, but the -16% earnings in its Jun '11 quarter is a flaw concerning the C criteria. This Luxembourg-based Financial Services firm's small supply (S criteria) of only 16.2 million shares in the public float can contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. ASPS was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/07/10 then violated its 200 DMA with a streak of volume-driven losses, and it subsequently rebounded back above its 200 DMA and 50 DMA lines."

Pulling back today following a considerable gain when noted in the 11/18/11 mid-day report - "Clearing a prior chart high and rallying to within close striking distance of its 52-week high. Increasing ownership by top-rated funds is an encouraging sign (I criteria). Recent quarters showed modest sales revenues increases and earnings improvement mostly below the +25% guideline. Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been good in recent years, however that is while FY '08 and '10 earnings figures include blue triangles beside the numbers via the data provider used by our experts which indicates pre-tax, non-recurring items were included (where possible, such items are normally removed to provide data better suited for comparison)."

Last noted in the 10/14/11 mid-day report - "Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been below the fact-based system's guidelines, and its quarterly comparisons have not shown strong sales revenues and earnings increases matching the winning models from the book 'How to Make Money in Stocks'."

Holding its ground near the new 52-week high hit last week. Last noted when posting a volume-driven gain on 10/27/11 after an orderly 5-week consolidation above its 50 DMA line - "Recent quarterly comparisons have shown strong sales revenues and earnings increases (good C criteria). Losses in FY '07 & '08 are a flaw concerning the investment system's A criteria, and consensus estimates calling for earnings -8% in FY '12 and -9% in FY '13 are additional cause for concern."

Most Recent Note for HSTM - 11/21/2011 12:55:12 PM
Today's 4th consecutive gain backed by above average volume helped it hit another new 52-week high. On 11/18/11 it priced the previously announced new Public Offering of 3.3 million shares at $16.25. Held its ground and made recent progress above prior highs after the previously noted 10/21/11 gap up from a cup-with-handle type base. Earnings improved by more than +25% in recent quarterly comparisons (Mar, Jun, Sep '11) satisfying the C criteria, but its annual (A criteria) earnings history included a downturn in FY '10, a flaw with respect to the fact-based investment system's guidelines.

Held its ground and inched higher since last noted in the mid-day report on 10/27/11 - "Gapped up and hit new 52-week and all-time highs today after a 13-week cup shaped base without a handle. Reported earnings +32% on +24% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period.

Perched near its 52-week high with today's volume-driven gain snapping a 3 session losing streak. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Recent volume-driven gains helped it rally up the right side of a deep 15-week cup shaped base. After years of operating losses (bad A criteria) it has reported solid earnings backed by huge sales revenues increases versus much smaller revenues and year-ago losses in the 3 latest quarterly comparisons through Sep '11.
