5/14/2012 10:28:58 AM - Gapped down today, slumping further below its 50 DMA line and further below its prior low ($16.14 on 4/10/12), raising more serious concerns.

5/2/2012 4:02:01 PM - G - Rebounded from lows near its 50 DMA and managed a positive reversal today. Its consolidation is not a sufficient length to be considered a sound new base pattern. It already has tested support at its 10-week moving average line multiple times this year, so it may not be considered an ideal "secondary buy point" now.

4/24/2012 4:44:45 PM - G - Consolidating just above its 50 DMA line. Its prior low ($16.14 on 4/10/12) and its short-term average define important near-term chart support to watch. It is -11.7% off its 52-week high today, extended from any sound base pattern.

4/18/2012 1:57:37 PM - G - Volume totals have been cooling while recently consolidating above its 50 DMA line. Last week's low and its short-term average define important near-term chart support to watch. It is -9.5% off its 52-week high today, extended from any sound base pattern.

3/7/2012 12:50:08 PM - G - Up today after a finish in the lower half of its intra-day range on the prior session, and its color code is changed to green while quickly getting too extended. The 3 latest quarterly comparisons showed strong earnings increases (C criteria) and its annual earnings growth (A criteria) has been strong after FY '09. It was featured in the 3/06/12 mid-day report with heavy volume behind its gain as it technically broke out from the previously noted advanced "3-weeks tight" base pattern with pivot point based on its 2/17/12 high plus 10 cents. No resistance remains due to overhead supply.


3/6/2012 1:12:04 PM - Y - Reported earnings +56% on +28% sales revenues for the quarter ended January 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. The 3 latest quarterly comparisons showed strong earnings increases (C criteria) and its annual earnings growth (A criteria) has been strong after FY '09. Gapped up and hit new 52-week and multi-year highs today with heavy volume behind its gain after the previously noted advanced "3-weeks tight" base pattern. Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point based on its 2/17/12 high plus 10 cents. No resistance remains due to overhead supply.


3/1/2012 1:44:11 PM -

Hovering near 52-week and multi-year highs, possibly forming an advanced "3-weeks tight" base pattern. No resistance remains due to overhead supply. Annual earnings growth (A criteria) has been strong after FY '09. The 2 latest quarterly comparisons (Jul and Oct '11) showed strong earnings increases with sales revenues increases in the +12-13% range, so its fundamentals are not a truly great match with the winning models of the fact-based system.



1/6/2012 1:45:25 PM -
