Symbol - Exchange - Industry Group Company Name	Last	Chg	Day High	52 WK Hi	% From Hi	Volume % DAV	DAV
ASPS - NASDAQ - REAL ESTATE - Property Management/Developmen Altisource Ptf Sltns Sa	$49.97	-0.26 -0.52%	$50.46	$50.46	-0.97%	58,525 82.90%	70,600
Most Recent Note for ASPS - 12/12/2011 12:07:28 PM Inched higher for 8 consecutive small gains backed by above average volume. Prior mid-day reports noted - "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."

Most Recent Note for CBM - 12/12/2011 12:09:03 PM Perched at its 52-week high today, still stubbornly holding its ground. This low-priced Medical - products firm was noted in prior mid-day reports- "Sales revenues increases showed modest acceleration in recent quarterly comparisons while earnings improved. Annual earnings (A criteria) history has not been strong and steady. Low-priced stocks are discouraged from consideration as buy candidates under the fact-based system unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied."

The downturn in its FY '09 earnings is a flaw concerning the A criteria. Considerable rally from its February 2011 lows in the $12 area.
