Prior mid-day reports noted - "Reported strong sales revenues and earnings increases in the Jun and Sep '12 quarterly comparisons versus the year ago periods. Prior earnings history has not been strong and steady, leaving some fundamental concerns. Low-priced stocks are discouraged from consideration under the fact-based investment system unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied."

Gapped down today, retreating with higher and above average volume from its 52-week high following a streak of 5 consecutive gains into new high territory. No overhead supply remains to act as resistance. Prior mid-day reports cautioned - "Found recent support at its 50 DMA line. Earnings were +10% in the Mar and Jun '12 quarters, below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). It survived a deep consolidation below its 200 DMA line, yet it failed to impress since noted in the 6/30/11 mid-day report - 'This Switzerland-based giant in the Chemicals - Agricultural industry group has endured some distributional pressure after reaching new all-time highs in recent weeks. Faces no resistance due to overhead supply. Annual earnings growth (A criteria) was strong in years past, but flattened out from FY '08 through FY '10. Waning ownership interest from top-rated funds (I criteria) is another cause for concern. It is not a good match with the fact-based investment system's models of past great winners.'"

Found support well above its 50 DMA line during its recent consolidation. Today's 5th consecutive gain with above average volume has it perched within striking distance of its best ever close. Prior mid-day reports cautioned - "Recently hit a new 52-week high with volume-driven gains while challenging 2009-10 highs in the $22 area. Its small supply of only 5.46 million shares in the public float could contribute to greater price volatility. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has not been strong and steady. Quarterly comparisons through Sep '12 have shown sub par sales revenues growth even while recent earnings increases have been strong and well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria)."

Most Recent Note for VASC - 12/21/2012 1:23:11 PM
The 12/20/12 mid-day report and prior reports cautioned - "Reported earnings +60% on +1% sales revenues for the Sep '12 quarter. Ownership by top-rated funds rose from 110 in Dec '11 to 139 in Sep '12, a reassuring sign of increasing institutional interest (I criteria). Rebounded above its 50 DMA line this week and it is perched within close striking distance of its 52-week high. Fundamentals are still not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines."

Most Recent Note for VPFG - 12/21/2012 1:25:26 PM
Trading near its 50 DMA line today. It found support near that important short-term average since last noted in the 11/15/12 mid-day report - "Reported earnings +88% on +27% sales revenues for the September 30, 2012 quarter versus the year ago period, its 2nd consecutive quarter with earnings improving by more than the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Last noted in the 9/17/12 mid-day report - 'Reported earnings +10% on -6% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Below the fact-based investment system's +25% earnings guideline.'"
