DBRN, WCG, TTC, WMGI, GTIV, UAM Expected To Be Higher After Earnings Releases on Thursday

BUYINS.NET / www.squeezetrigger.com is monitoring the performance of all stocks with earnings being released Thursday, February 18th and determining how the stocks have performed after their last 12 quarterly, 6 quarterly and February earnings reports. Dress Barn (NASDAQ: DBRN), Wellcare Health Plans (NYSE: WCG), The Toro Co. (NYSE: TTC), Wright Medical Technology (NASDAQ: WMGI), Gentiva Health Services (NASDAQ: GTIV) and Universal American Corp (NYSE: UAM) are all expected to be higher after their earnings are released Thursday. The movement of stock prices in the days and weeks leading to and following these earnings announcements may follow a predictable pattern. Most companies stock price histories show random or unpredictable movements around earnings dates. But some seem to repeat the same pattern quarter after quarter, year after year. The # of Reports in the table below shows how many previous quarterly reports comprise the indicator that predicts how a stock will act after its earnings are released. The specific technology used to make these predictions is available for a low monthly fee at http://www.squeezetrigger.com/services/strat/mh.php. The following stocks are expected to go higher after earnings are released Thursday:

Symbol Company # of Reports Quarter Release Time

DBRN Dress Barn Inc. February earnings Q2 After

WCG Wellcare Health Plans 12 quarters Q4 Before

TTC The Toro Co. 12 quarters Q1 Before

WMGI Wright Medical Tech 12 quarters Q4 After

GTIV Gentiva Health Services 12 quarters Q4 Before

UAM Universal American 12 quarters Q4 After

Earnings, or profits, drive stock prices. The market values a company based on its current and anticipated future ability to make money. The market takes the earnings pulse of a company four times per year when quarterly reports are issued. When this information is released it can often be a trend-changing or a trend confirming event because the information is so vital to the market's perception of the vitality of that company.

This technology is designed to help the stock trader identify those companies that seem to have a consistent pattern of movement before or after the earnings release date, based on the history of earnings releases for that company. It combines a calendar of expected earnings releases with a history of past earnings releases in a way that lets you see if a pattern exists.

About SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM

WWW.SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM is a service designed to help bonafide shareholders of publicly traded US companies fight short selling. SqueezeTrigger.com has built a proprietary database that uses Threshold list feeds and short sale time and sale data from NASDAQ, AMEX and NYSE to generate detailed and useful information to combat the short selling problem. For the first time, actual trade by trade data is available to the public that shows the attempted size, actual size, price and average value of short sales in stocks that have been shorted. This information is valuable in determining the precise point at which short sellers go out-of-the-money and start losing on their short trades.

SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM has built a massive database that collects, analyzes and publishes a proprietary SqueezeTrigger for each stock that has been shorted. The SqueezeTrigger database of nearly 2.5 billion short sale transactions goes back to January 1, 2005 and calculates the exact price at which the Total Short Interest is short in each stock. This data was never before available prior to January 1, 2005 because the Self Regulatory Organizations (primary exchanges) guarded it aggressively. After the SEC passed Regulation SHO, exchanges were forced to allow data processors like SqueezeTrigger.com to access the data.

The SqueezeTrigger database collects individual short trade data on over 7,000 NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ stocks and general short trade data on nearly 8,000 OTCBB and PINKSHEET stocks. Each month the database grows by approximately 50,000,000 short sale transactions and provides investors with the knowledge necessary to time when to buy and sell stocks with outstanding short positions. By tracking the size and price of each monthas short transactions, SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM provides institutions, traders, analysts, journalists and individual investors the exact price point where short sellers start losing money and a short squeeze can begin.
