BBBY - NASDAQ - RETAIL - Home Furnishing Stores Bed Bath & Beyond Inc	$57.73	-3.70 -6.02%	$59.12	$63.83	-9.56%	4,364,654 201.02%	2,171,300
Most Recent Note for BBBY - 12/22/2011 12:09:59 PM Damaging gap down today, violating its 50 DMA line and prior lows while slumping toward its 200 DMA line. Last noted in the 11/10/11 mid-day report - "Pulling back from a new 52-week high hit after wedging to new highs this week without great volume conviction behind its recent gains. There is no remaining resistance due to overhead supply. Reported earnings +33% on +8% sales revenues for the quarter ended August 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. It had slumped near its 200 DMA line and found support near that important long-term average during its consolidation since noted in the 6/24/11 mid-day report - 'Quarterly earnings increases have been above the +25% guideline in the past 6 comparisons, however sales revenues increases have been in the 11-13% range over the past year. A downturn in FY '09 earnings is a flaw concerning the A criteria.'"

Annual earnings (A criteria) history is not a match with the fact-based system's guidelines.

DLA - AMEX - CONSUMER NON-DURABLES - Textile - Apparel Clothing Delta Apparel Inc	$19.24	-0.05 -0.26%	$19.36	$19.87	-3.17%	15,896 67.93%	23,400
Most Recent Note for DLA - 12/22/2011 12:23:30 PM Perched within close striking distance of its 52-week high with no overhead supply to act as resistance after a choppy 5-month consolidation during which it found support near its 200 DMA line. Quarterly earnings increases were well above the +25% guideline in the 3 latest comparisons through September '11. Annual earnings (A criteria) improved following a downward turn in FY '08. Ownership by top-rated funds rose from 88 in Mar '11 to 117 in Sep '11, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. The small supply (S criteria) of only 7.12 million shares in the public float can lead to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
