G - Gapped down today after reporting earnings +23% on +24% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. It marked its weakest earning increase in years, and slumping below the +25% guideline raises fundamental concerns. Its color code was changed to green. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. On the prior session its gain with +61% above average volume had helped it rally for a new high and confirmed a technical buy signal. Its 50 DMA line ($261.20 now) defines important chart support to watch.

Trading near its 50 DMA line today after reporting earnings +36% on +13% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. Violated its 50 DMA line on the prior session, marking its first breach of that short-term average since rallying above its 2008 high ($70) as noted in 2 March 2011 mid-day reports - "Annual earnings history (A criteria) has not been strong and steady. Long ago, weak technical action prompted its removal from the Featured Stocks list on 7/02/08 after it made limited progress since the 5/01/08 analysis with annotated graph was published (read here). It actually made good progress after it gapped up and was first featured in the 4/16/08 CANSLIM.net Mid-Day BreakOuts Report rising from a '3-weeks tight' type of chart pattern (read here)."

Volume-driven gains this week helped it technically rally above prior resistance in the $67-68 area to a new 52-week high. Sales revenues and earnings increases in recent quarterly comparisons have been strong enough to satisfy the C criteria, but concerns are raised by a downturn in FY '09 earnings (A criteria) and a streak of negative comparisons.

Rallying back toward its 52-week high today after consolidating above prior highs and its 50 DMA line defining support in the $41 area. Reported earnings +26% on +24% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 versus the year ago period, near the investment system's minimum guidelines for buy candidates.

It survived but failed to impress since weak technical action was noted and it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 6/11/08."
