Concern were previously noted because its annual earnings (A criteria) history was up and down, yet recent fundamental and technical action has been a better match for winning models of the fact-based investment system. It is clear of all resistance due to overhead supply, however it is extended from its recent base after spiking to new 52-week highs and now above multi-year highs (above its 2007 high) this week with a spurt of volume-driven gains. Disciplined investors may watch for sound buy points to develop and be noted in the weeks ahead if the broader market (M criteria) rally continues. Sales revenues and earnings increases (C criteria) have shown impressive acceleration in recent quarterly comparisons.

Holding it ground following a 5/11/11 gap up and technical breakout from an orderly base for a new 52-week high. Clear of resistance due to overhead supply and perched within close striking distance of its all-time high. Its streak of gains with above average volume was noted as a sign of institutional accumulation after finding prompt support near its 50 DMA line. Annual earnings history included a downturn in FY '09, a flaw with respect to the A criteria. The latest 3 quarterly comparisons through Mar '11 show sales revenues and earnings improving versus the year ago period(s) after a patch of negative comparisons.

Hit a new 52-week high today, getting more extended from any sound base. Last noted in the 1/20/10 mid-day report - "Widespread leadership (L criteria) in the healthcare group prompted the recent appearances of other HMOs. There are fundamental flaws for many large HMOs because earnings and sales revenues have been erratic and sub par with respect to the investment criteria.
