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 - Today's strongest
candidates
highlighted
by our staff
of experts.

G - Previously featured in
this report as yellow and
now may no longer be buyable
under the guidelines.

Most Recent Note for NVDA - 1/7/2025 12:51:42 PM
Pulling back near its 50 DMA line ($140) today with a "negative reversal" after touching a new all-time high. Reported Oct '24 quarterly earnings +103% on +94% sales revenues versus the year ago period, its 6th very strong quarter after 3 quarterly comparisons down from the year-ago periods. Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been up and down, noted as a flaw with regard to the fact-based investment system's guidelines.

Most Recent Note for TSM - 1/7/2025 12:59:19 PM
Pulling back today after gapping up hitting a new all-time high on the prior session with a "breakaway gap". Found support at its 50 DMA line ($196) recently. Reported Sep '24 quarterly earnings +57% on +41% sales revenues versus the year ago period, its 2nd strong quarter. Prior quarterly comparisons were not strong and steady earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history had a downturn in FY '23, breaking a streak of strong and steady growth. Large supply of 5.18 billion outstanding shares (S criteria) makes it an unlikely sprinter.
