More details about this report...
At around

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

of experts.

G - Previously featured in
this report as yellow and

Consolidating near its 50 DMA line. Prior lows in the $180 area define near-term support to watch. The 10/23/13 mid-day report cautioned members - "Reported earnings +20% on +11% sales revenues for the Sep '13 quarter. Found support near its 50 DMA line and in early September it broke out of a new base formed since noted with caution in the 7/18/13 mid-day report - 'Quarterly sales revenues rose +14% and earnings rose +7% for the Jun '13 quarter, below the investment system's +25% minimum guideline concerning the C criteria for a 4th consecutive quarter. Annual earnings growth has been strong following a dip in its FY '09 earnings.'"

Reversed into the red after early gains today challenging its 52-week high. Reported earnings +60% on +50% sales revenues for the Sep '13 quarter, but fundamental concerns remain.

Rebounded from early lows after gapping down and undercutting its 50 DMA line today, abruptly retreating from its 52-week high with a loss on heavy volume. Stubbornly held its ground and made additional progress with a streak of volume-driven gains since last noted with caution in the 12/09/13 mid-day report. Reported earnings +9% on +10% sales revenues for Dec '13 quarter, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) for a 2nd consecutive quarterly comparison. Prior mid-day reports cautioned members - "Sub par sales revenues growth in the +1-6% range, not indicative of great demand for a new (N criteria) product or service. It survived but failed to impress since 12/01/10 when technical damage prompted it to be dropped from the Featured Stocks list."
