G - Holding its ground stubbornly at all-time highs since highlighted in yellow in the 7/22/11 mid-day report (read here), a session marked by 11 times average volume as its considerable "breakaway gap" cleared previously noted resistance in the $50 area. Reported earnings +83% on +33% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. The C criteria is satisfied by the past 4 quarterly comparisons showing solid sales and earnings increases above the +25% guideline. It rallied above its 50 and 200 DMA lines with considerable volume-driven gains in recent weeks during its long base pattern. Color code is changed to green. Disciplined investors are careful to not chase extended stocks, however a breakaway gap is one noted exception to the regular guidelines for buying stocks no more than 5% above a prior high or pivot point. Always limit losses if a stock falls -7% from your buy price.

Y - Gapped up today and hit a new 52-week high, rising from a 14-week cup shaped base without a handle. No resistance remains due to overhead supply, however, after its small breakaway gap. Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 4/28/11 high plus 10 cents. After this high-ranked Internet - Content firm was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 5/13/11 it subsequently fell from $131 to $114 and tested support at its long-term 200 DMA line before rebounding impressively. It has maintained a track record of strong quarterly sales revenues and earnings increases.

Y - Encountered some distributional pressure while recently churning near its all-time high. Due to report earnings after the close on Thursday, July 28th. Formed an orderly saucer shaped base. In the 7/25/11 mid-day report its color code was changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 52-week high plus 10 cents. Small supply (S criteria) of only 16.4 million outstanding shares can contribute to greater volatility. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and an annotated graph.

Most Recent Note for AAPL - 7/26/2011 12:15:15 PM
Hit yet another new all-time high today, extended from any sound base. Steadily rallying after reporting very strong earnings +122% on +82% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. With the second largest market cap of all publicly traded firms, AAPL does not fit the mold of a small growth firm unknown by the institutional crowd. It has a stellar earnings track record that solidly satisfies the C and A criteria. After its last appearance on 8/09/10 in the Featured Stock Update section (with detailed notes and an annotated graph) it was noted in multiple mid-day reports through 2010 as it rallied to new all-time highs, and it was also noted a handful of times earlier this year.

Consolidating near its 52-week and multi-year highs. Found support well above its 200 DMA line during its consolidation since last noted in the 5/10/11 mid-day report - "The 3 most recent quarterly earnings increases were above the +25% guideline, but prior comparisons versus the year ago periods were negative. Based on weak technical action it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 9/04/08, then subsequently slumped from $44 to $24 before rebounding. Downturn in FY '09 earnings (A criteria) makes it fall below guidelines."

Holding its ground and churning above average volume during its consolidation following a previously noted streak of 8 consecutive gains for new all-time highs. Reported earnings +32% on +48% sales revenues for the quarter ended May 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. Prior earnings history is not a good match with the C or A criteria of the fact-based investment system. It survived but failed to impress since noted in the 7/15/08 mid-day report.

Churning above average volume this week without making meaningful price progress above prior highs, action which indicates it is enduring mild distributional pressure. After rallying above resistance in the $39-40 area those prior highs acted as support in recent weeks. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Recent quarterly comparisons showed sales revenues and earnings increases sequentially accelerating, but a downturn in FY '09 earnings is a flaw with respect to the A criteria of the investment system."

Holding its ground since its considerable gap up on 7/22/11 from below its 50 DMA line for a new 52-week high. Technically broke out on 6/21/11 from an orderly base pattern above 50 DMA line then endured distributional pressure in recent weeks while negating the breakout and slumping below short-term average. Reported earnings +120% on +35% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Accelerating sales revenues growth and great earnings improvement in recent quarterly comparisons following years of operating losses (not strong for the A criteria).

Hitting another new 52-week high today, technically breaking out above prior resistance in the $47 area with volume-driven gains. Due to report earnings on August 1st. It rebounded from a slump below its 50 DMA line during its 10-week cup shaped base. Prior mid-day reports noted- "Quarterly earnings improved in the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and showed recent acceleration, but the 4 prior earnings comparisons have been below the +25% guideline. This Chinese provider of free online games quarterly sales revenues improved from $1.6 million in revenues in the quarter ended March 31, 2007 to $97.1 million in the quarter ended Mar 31, 2011."

Consolidating -3.2% off its 52-week high today with little resistance remaining due to overhead supply. Found support above its 200 DMA line and near prior highs in the $22 area since last noted in the 5/12/11 mid-day report. Recent quarterly comparisons (C criteria) showed mostly impressive sales and earnings increases, including a +38% earnings increase on +34% for the March 2011 period, but results for the quarter ended Dec 31, 2010 were below guidelines. A downturn in its FY '08 earnings was also previously noted as a flaw with respect to the A criteria of the fact-based investment system.

Recent quarterly comparisons showed sales revenues accelerating from flat or single digit percentages. The downward turn in its FY '08 earnings (bad A criteria) is a concern. Weak technical action prompted its removal from the Featured Stocks list on 1/7/08, shortly after it had been featured in the December 2007 issue of CANSLIM.net News (read here).'"

No resistance remains due to overhead supply. Recently wedged up to challenge its 52-week and all-time highs with a spurt of gains mostly lacking great volume conviction. Recent quarterly comparisons show strong sales revenues and earnings increases (good C criteria) but a downturn in FY '09 earnings is a flaw with respect to the A criteria of the investment system.

Hit yet another new 52-week high today, adding to its recent spurt of volume-driven gains. It held its ground at its 50 DMA line after a bout of distributional pressure in June. Recent quarterly comparisons through Mar '11 showed impressive sales revenues acceleration and strong earnings increases versus the year-ago period, but its up and down annual earnings (questionable A) history remains a fundamental concern. There is a small supply of only 4.26 million shares in its float, which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
