Consolidating near its 52-week high and above its 50 DMA line. Noted with caution repeatedly in prior mid-day reports - "Reported earnings +7% on +18% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 versus the year ago period. Prior quarterly comparisons showed stronger sales revenues and earnings increases which were waning. Annual earnings history (A criteria) is not a match with the models of past great winners identified using the fact-based investment system."

Hitting another new 52-week high with today's 3rd consecutive gain. Stubbornly holding its ground and trading higher with above average volume behind several gains since the 12/12/13 mid-day report cautioned members - "Reported earnings +37% on +13% sales revenues for the Sep '13 quarter but fundamental concerns remain. Earnings and sales revenues increases in prior quarterly comparisons and its annual earnings (C and A criteria) history is not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines."

Perched at its 52-week high today following a streak of volume-driven gains, very extended from any sound base. Fundamentals are not a match with winning models of the fact-based system although recent quarterly comparisons through Sep '13 showed better sales revenues and earnings increases. It survived but failed to impress since long ago noted in the 10/26/07 mid-day report - "Its earnings and sales growth history are below guidelines. Recently rallied above its prior 2007 high in the $49 area."

Hitting another new 52-week high today while adding to its impressive streak of volume-driven gains. Reported earnings +55% on +19% sales revenues for the Oct '13 quarter, but fundamental concerns remain. The 11/22/13 report noted - "Recent quarterly comparisons through Jul '13 showed greatly improved earnings results and improved sales revenues growth. Quarterly revenues totals in the $6-8 million range are rather minuscule, and its annual earnings (A criteria) history has not been strong and steady. Low-priced stocks are discouraged from consideration unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied. Recently enduring distributional pressure after getting extended from any sound base."

Hitting a new 52-week high with above average volume behind today's 2nd consecutive gain, rallying with no resistance due to overhead supply.

Powering to another new 52-week high with today's 6th consecutive gain. No resistance remains due to overhead supply, but it is extended from any sound base pattern. Prior mid-day reports cautioned members - "Reported earnings +31% on +17% sales revenues for the Sep '13 quarter, a 2nd comparison above the +25% minimum guideline, but fundamental concerns remain. This Chinese Medical/Dental Services firm's earnings history is not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines calling for the 3 or 4 most recent quarters to have earnings increases above the +25% guideline (C criteria)."
