Gapped up and hit a new 52-week high today, and it is free of all resistance due to overhead supply. Showed solid earnings increases in recent quarters through Sep '13. Up and down annual earnings (A criteria) track record raises red flags with respect to the fact-based investment system's guidelines.

Most Recent Note for AWAY - 12/5/2013 12:16:11 PM
Hitting a new 52-week high with above average volume behind today's 3rd straight gain in a streak of 7 consecutive gains. Found support while recently consolidating above prior highs in the $34 area, however it has not formed a base of sufficient length. Patient investors may watch for a new base to possibly form and be noted in the weeks ahead. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Earnings +36% on +23% sales revenues for the Sep '13 quarter marked its 5th consecutive quarterly comparison with earnings above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). There is some old overhead supply remaining up through the $45 level, but prior highs from more than a year and three quarters ago are not usually counted as a substantial source of resistance."

Traded above average volume while retreating from its new 52-week high hit last week. Held its ground stubbornly and made gradual progress since last noted in the 10/07/13 mid-day report with caution - "It has earned high ranks and its prior quarterly and annual earnings (C and A criteria) history had been strong, however, quarterly earnings comparisons showed worrisome deceleration while increasing by +62%, +53%, +26%, and +10% over the Jul '12, Oct '12, Jan '13 and Apr '13 periods, respectively. The Jul '13 quarter was also below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) of the fact-based system. This Medical - Systems/Equipment firm survived but failed to impress since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 4/15/05."

Hitting another new 52-week high today with no resistance remaining due to overhead supply while adding to its streak of volume-driven gains. Reported earnings +15% on -4% sales revenues for the Sep '13 quarter and fundamental concerns remain. Made gradual progress since noted in the 7/11/12 mid-day report with caution - "Quarterly comparisons show strong earnings increases however sub par sales revenues increases reveal no great growth in demand for its products or services. Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been up and down, not strong and steady."

Repeatedly noted with caution in recent mid-day reports - "Steadily advanced and found support at its 50 DMA line since noted in the 5/22/13 mid-day report with caution.

Most Recent Note for HOLI - 12/5/2013 12:32:34 PM
Pulled back near support at its 50 DMA line, enduring distributional pressure this week. This China-based firm had a "negative reversal" for a loss on heavy volume after touching a new 52-week high on 12/02/13 as its CEO/Chairman announced his resignation. Reported earnings +25% on +29% sales revenues for the Sep '13 quarter, but fundamental concerns remain. Showed mostly bullish action since a technical breakout from an orderly base on 9/09/13. Prior mid-day reports repeatedly cautioned members - "Reported earnings +32% on +29% sales for the Jun '13 quarter. The 3 prior quarterly comparisons versus the year ago periods came in below the +25% minimum earnings (C criteria) guideline for buy candidates, contributing to a flaw in its annual earnings (A criteria)."

Fundamental concerns remain, although it reported earnings +64% on +20% for the Oct '13 quarter, its 2nd consecutive quarter with earnings above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Prior quarterly and annual earnings (A criteria) history is not a match with the fact-based investment system.

Consolidating above its 50 DMA line and -4.5% off its 52-week high after showing some resilience following a streak of damaging volume-driven losses. The 10/31/13 mid-day report cautioned members - "Churning heavy volume today while trading in a wider-than usual intra-day range. Reported earnings +19% on +128% sales revenues for the Sep '13 quarter, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Ownership by top-rated funds fell from 512 in Mar '13 to 481 in Sep '13, not a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria. Found support at its 50 DMA line on pullbacks and made gradual progress since last noted with caution in the 6/14/13 mid-day report - 'Reported very strong earnings and sales revenues increases for the Mar '13 quarter and Jun, Sep, Dec '12 quarters satisfying the C criteria (above the +25% minimum earnings guideline). Found support above its 200 DMA line during its consolidation since noted in the 2/28/13 mid-day report with caution. Its up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history leaves fundamental concerns.'"
