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

G - Previously featured in
this report as yellow and

Most Recent Note for DVA - 3/5/2024 12:22:09 PM
Gapped up for a new 52-week high today challenging its all-time high. Its 50 DMA line ($112.54) defines near-term support to watch on pullbacks. Prior mid-day reports cautioned members - "Reported earnings +68% on +8% sales revenues for the Dec '23 quarter. Prior quarterly earnings increases were not strong and steady above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) of the fact-based system. Sub par sales revenues growth rate is not indicative of a new product or service in great demand (N criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) sputtered after it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 11/28/12."
