Most Recent Note for SSYS - 11/26/2012 12:59:58 PM Rallying for a new 52-week high today, rising from a 15-week base with volume running at an above average pace behind its considerable breakout gain. Quarterly earnings increases above the +25% guideline in the 3 most recent comparisons satisfy the C criteria. A downward turn in its FY '09 earnings is an obvious flaw with respect to the investment system's A criteria. Ownership by top-rated funds rose from 221 in Dec '11 to 251 in Sep '12, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It is an interesting turn around story with a small supply of only 21.3 million shares (S criteria) outstanding. Longtime members may recall that SSYS was long ago (2003) featured in our monthly newsletter and special reports.
