Y - Gapped up and briefly traded above its "max buy" level earlier today. A strong finish on the prior session with more than 3 times average volume triggered a technical buy signal after a choppy new 6-week flat base. In the 2/28/11 mid-day report its color code was changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 1/18/11 high plus ten cents as it was noted - "Little resistance remains due to overhead supply. Since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 11/16/10 the prior resistance previously noted in the $20 area acted as support and its fundamentals have remained strong. "

Rallying toward its all-time high today with a 4th consecutive gain after finding support near its 50 DMA line last week.

Touched a new 52-week high today then reversed into the red following a solid volume-driven gain for a new high on the prior session.

The 2/28/11 mid-day report noted - "Recently wedging to new highs without great volume conviction, yet no overhead supply remains to act as resistance. This Houston, TX based Oil and Gas MLP has an erratic earnings history and it completed additional Public Offerings on 2/09/10 and 8/11/10."

Steadily climbing since the first of the year, it is perched at its 52-week high with today's 4th consecutive gain. No resistance remains due to overhead supply and group strength (Oil and Gas - Field Services) has been helping it. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has not been strong and steady. Its two latest quarterly financial results (Sep and Dec '10) showed better than +25% earnings increases over the year ago period, but with only +4% increases in sales revenues.

Stubbornly holding its ground near its 52-week high. Consolidating after a considerable 2/10/11 gap up gain on heavy volume following its report of earnings +41% on +10% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 versus the year-ago period. Found support near its 50 DMA line during a consolidation since last noted in the 12/10/10 mid-day report - "Gains this week helped it clear stubborn resistance in the $19 area. Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong, but quarterly earnings increases in recent comparisons were below guidelines of the fact-based investment system while sales revenues increases have been in the +5-7% range."

Pulling back today after 8 consecutive volume-driven gains including a breakaway gap on 2/23/11 for new 52-week and all-time highs with heavy volume (5 times average daily). Reported earnings +34% on +17% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 versus the year ago period. HLF recently rebounded above its 50 DMA line which was violated in mid-January with losses on heavy volume since noted in the 12/06/10 mid-day report - "It steadily advanced after the previously noted 8/03/10 gap up gain. This high-ranked Cosmetics / Personal Care group leader has an up and down annual earnings history (A criteria) that remains a fundamental concern. In the 4 latest quarters this network marketer of weight management and nutritional supplements showed increases in sales and earnings after 4 negative comparisons. It has rebounded impressively from its Bear Market lows, however its fundamentals are below guidelines, having slumped subsequent to the company's removal from the CANSLIM.net Featured Stocks list on 4/22/08 - details were then covered in the CANSLIM.net After Market Update with an annotated graph (read here)."

Holding its ground today after gains with above average volume 4 days in a row helped it hit new 52-week highs. The 3 prior mid-day reports noted - "No overhead supply remains to hinder its progress. It promptly repaired a 50 DMA line violation in January while consolidating and then continued rising since completing a Public Offering of additional shares on 11/19/10. Previously noted an additional offering earlier last year on 4/15/10. It has attracted an increasing number of top-rated funds as shareholders. Recent quarters show great sales and earnings increases versus minuscule numbers for the year ago period. Leadership in the industry group (L criteria) is helping it fare well, but its limited earnings history and repeated stock offerings are cause for some concern. "

Perched near its all-time high following a recently noted spurt of volume-driven gains. Found great support near its 50 DMA line throughout its ongoing ascent. It now faces no resistance due to overhead supply, but it is not near a sound base pattern. Reported earnings +63% on +15% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, so 3 of the 4 latest quarterly comparisons now have earnings increases above the +25% guideline. It has earned high ranks after demonstrating strong steady annual earnings (A criteria) growth. This Denmark-based Medical - Ethical Drug firm also has seen the number of top-rated funds owning its shares rise from 152 in Mar '10 to 185 in Dec '10, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.

Hovering near its 52-week high, it gapped down today, slumping toward prior chart highs in the $52 area that may now act as support. During a recent streak of volume-driven gains the 2/24/11 mid-day report noted - "The latest earnings data available via our sources was for the period ended June 30, 2010, and it may be due to soon report results for the Sep and Dec '10 periods. The downturn in its FY '09 earnings is a flaw with respect to the investment system's A criteria. Found support near its 50 DMA line and made gradual progress since last noted in the 10/13/10 mid-day report - 'This big South-African Oil and Gas - Refining/Marketing firm's sales revenues and earnings increases improved in the 2 most recent quarters after a streak of 4 negative quarterly comparisons.'"

Today's 3rd consecutive gap up gain helped it hit new 52-week and all-time highs. While rising just above previously stubborn resistance in the $13 area, no overhead supply remains to act as resistance. The 2/22/11 mid-day report noted - "It completed a Public Offering on 12/14/10 after it was noted in a handful of Nov and Dec '10 mid-day reports - 'This low-priced Canadian mining company's considerable gain with heavy volume for a new 52-week high may catch the eye of some technical traders. Its 4 latest quarterly comparisons show strong sales revenues and earnings increases following negative comparisons in the prior 4 quarters. Last noted in the 5/13/10 mid-day report after a then recent surge to new highs, then it subsequently slumped below its 200 DMA line before rebounding impressively. Poor annual earnings (A criteria) history is a fundamental concern.'"
