ASPS - NASDAQ - REAL ESTATE - Property Management/Developmen Altisource Ptf Sltns Sa	$45.59	+0.07 0.15%	$45.91	$45.92	-0.72%	60,803 86.12%	70,600
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."

CRMT - NASDAQ - SPECIALTY RETAIL - Auto Dealerships Americas Car-Mart Inc	$35.38	-0.52 -1.45%	$35.80	$37.50	-5.65%	38,043 79.42%	47,900
Most Recent Note for CRMT - 11/21/2011 12:49:02 PM 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)."
