More details about this report...
At around
mid-way through each trading day we run
a screen against our database of
high-ranked stocks, searching for
possible buy candidates that are trading
at or near their 52-week high on above
average volume. The results of that
screen are split into the two sections
you see below. The first, titled
"TODAY's FEATURED STOCKS" shows stocks
that our experts have recently
identified as among the strongest candidates to
consider. Stocks highlighted in yellow
are the most timely and noteworthy, so
particular attention and prompt action
may be appropriate. The second section,
titled "TODAY's BREAKOUT SCREEN" shows
the remainder of stocks meeting today's
screen parameters. Our experts have
reviewed and included notes on these
stocks as well, but found that they may
not match up as favorably.

Y - Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 8/16/12 high plus 10 cents. This Chinese Medical - Products firm is pulling back today following a gain with more than 3 times average volume on the prior session which technically helped it break out of an orderly flat base above its 50 DMA line. Prior highs in the $25-26 area were a stubborn resistance area, however overhead supply is not a great concern. Its small supply (S criteria) of only 22.8 million outstanding shares and low daily average volume can contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling so proper discipline is especially important. Reported earnings +41% on +26% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 versus the year ago period. The Dec '11 and Mar '12 quarters showed strong sales revenues and earnings increases, improving following a streak of 3 sub par quarterly comparisons.

G - Still hovering near its 52-week high in a very tight trading range. Ending the week near its current level could form an advanced "3-weeks tight" base pattern. Prior highs in the $67-68 area define initial support to watch on pullbacks.

Most Recent Note for CYBX - 8/30/2012 12:11:51 PM
Holding its ground today following 4 consecutive gains and a burst of heavy volume as it spiked to new 52-week highs. Reported earnings +36% on +15% sales revenues for the Jul '12 quarter. Found support near its 50 DMA line while consolidating following volume-driven gains into new high territory after noted in the 6/18/12 mid-day report - "Reported earnings +46% on +13% sales revenues for the quarter ended April 30, 2012 versus the year ago period, marking 3 consecutive quarterly earnings comparisons above the +25% guideline (meeting C criteria). Its annual earnings (A criteria) history included a dip in FY '11 earnings that leaves fundamental concerns with respect to the fact-based investment system's guidelines."

Up today for another new 52-week high, getting more extended from prior chart highs in the $29 area. Quarterly and annual earnings history (C and A criteria) is not a match with the investment system's guidelines.

Perched at its 52-week high today following volume-driven gains, yet it faces some additional resistance due to overhead supply up through the $53 level. The 8/28/12 mid-day report noted - "Sales revenues and earnings history are below are fact-based investment system's guidelines. To satisfy the C criteria, current earnings per share should be up +25% or more and in the most ideal cases accelerating impressively in the most recent 3-4 quarterly comparisons."

Most Recent Note for MOV - 8/30/2012 12:36:51 PM
Holding its ground today following a big "breakaway gap" on 8/28/12 for another new 52-week high and 2 prior mid-day report appearances with volume-driven gains. Reported earnings +100% on +4% sales revenues for the Jul '12 quarter. Sales revenues growth decelerated as increases slowed from +21%, +15%, to +4% over the Jan, Apr, Jul '12 quarters, respectively. The 8/24/12 mid-day report noted - "Found support at its 200 DMA line in recent weeks before rebounding impressively. Earnings increases have been above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) in recent quarterly comparisons, however a previously noted loss in FY '10 is a flaw in the annual earnings (A criteria) history."
