Most Recent Note - 11/22/2013 12:21:50 PM G - Violated its 50 DMA line with volume running at an above average pace behind today's damaging loss and its color code was changed to green due to technical deterioration.

Most Recent Note - 11/22/2013 12:49:47 PM Y - Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 10/02/13 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent volume-driven gains for new highs may trigger a technical buy signal. Its erratic history is of some concern, yet little resistance remains due to overhead supply after recent gains helped it rebound above its 50 DMA line. Last noted in the 10/29/13 mid-day report - "Reported earnings +44% on +19% sales for the quarter ended Sep 30, 2013 versus the year ago period, its 3rd consecutive quarterly earnings increase above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) following 4 quarters with results just slightly below that threshold. There was a downturn in FY '09 earnings. Went through a very deep consolidation below its 200 DMA line then rebounded impressively since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 5/01/12." >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 4/13/2012.
