This thinly-traded holding company in the Finance - Commercial Loans industry group challenged its all-time high on the prior session with above average volume behind its 4th consecutive gain.

Hitting another new 52-week high with today's gain, but it faces resistance due to overhead supply up to the $50 level. Its 200 DMA line ($30) acted as support in recent months when consolidating. This Chinese retailer reported greatly improved earnings increases in the 4 latest quarterly comparisons through Sep '19 versus the year ago periods. Up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history is not a match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines.

Gapped down on the prior session violating its 50 DMA line and today it is still abruptly retreating from its all-time high. Noted weak action came after it reported earnings -5% on +12% sales revenues for the Nov '19 quarter, its 3rd consecutive quarterly comparison below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) of the fact-based investment system. Annual earnings (A criteria) improved steadily following a downturn in FY '09.

This thinly-traded maker of frequency/spectrum control products is perched at its all-time high, very extended from any sound base. Posted impressive volume-driven gains in recent weeks. Recent quarterly comparisons through Sep '19 showed great earnings increases with sales revenues growth rate accelerating. Annual earnings (A criteria) turned positive in FY'16 after years of losses. Quarterly sales revenues have been in the $6-8 million range, still rather minuscule for a publicly traded firm.

Fundamental concerns remain after it reported earnings +2% on +4% sales revenues for the Sep '19 quarter.
