12/15/2015 12:49:30 PM - Slumped below its 50 DMA line recently. Last noted with caution in the 11/09/15 mid-day report following a gap down and damaging volume-driven loss -"Reported earnings +58% on +11% sales revenues for the Sep '15 quarter. Fundamental concerns remain due to sub par sales revenues growth, and its up and down annual earnings history is a flaw (A criteria)."
11/9/2015 12:54:34 PM - Abruptly retreating from its 52-week high with a gap down today and big volume-driven loss. Reported earnings +58% on +11% sales revenues for the Sep '15 quarter. Fundamental concerns remain due to sub par sales revenues growth, and its up and down annual earnings history is a flaw (A criteria).
2/21/2014 12:29:53 PM - Hovering near its 52-week high, stubbornly holding its ground following a "breakaway gap" on 1/10/14. Reported earnings +54% on +12% sales revenues for the Dec '13 quarter, its 4th consecutive earnings increase above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Prior quarterly sales revenues increases were in the +3-7% range, not indicating truly great demand for any new products or services (N criteria). Its large supply of 505 Million shares (S criteria) outstanding makes it an unlikely sprinter. Up and down annual earnings history is a flaw (A criteria).
1/24/2014 12:28:19 PM - Gapped up today hitting another new 52-week high. Stubbornly held its ground following a "breakaway gap" on 1/10/14. Reported earnings +54% on +12% sales revenues for the Dec '13 quarter, its 4th consecutive earnings increase above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Prior quarterly sales revenues increases were in the +3-7% range, not indicating truly great demand for any new products or services (N criteria). Its large supply of 505 Million shares (S criteria) outstanding makes it an unlikely sprinter, and its downturn in FY '09 earnings is a flaw in the A criteria.
1/14/2014 12:25:03 PM - Perched at its 52-week high today following a "breakaway gap" on the prior session. The 3 latest quarters through Sep '13 showed great earnings increases (satisfying the C criteria) while sales revenues increases were only in the +3-7% range.

10/6/2010 12:45:04 PM - Down today, erasing a big part of the prior session's considerable volume-driven gain for a new 52-week high which had helped it break out of large cup-with-handle type base. The 2 latest quarters showed great earnings increases and sales revenues growing after a streak of negative comparisons.
