Fundamentals:

Technicals: After turning the corner in mid August the stock has been moving up and pulled in more than 100% profit over the 16 weeks. In Mid November the stock fell into some profit taking pulling back to 18.00. This was also the resistance level form October. Showing a small volume increase the stock began bouncing and is pushing itself nearer to the 25.00 dollar resistance level. Today was the first day the stock moved back up above its 30dma with both the Stochastics and MACD's moving in the same direction. The stock moved sideways at 21.00 (a resistance/support form late November) and headed higher with the volume looking steady. If the stock can break through 25 it should be able to use this as a support/basing area to stage another run and possibly to a new 52 week high above 27.00.
