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 - Rising today after 2 consecutive volume-driven losses undercut the prior highs raised some concerns. Closed in the middle of its intra-day range with a considerable volume-driven gain after highlighted in yellow in the 3/05/24 mid-day report with pivot point cited based on its 12/26/23 high plus 10 cents. Reported Dec '23 quarterly earnings +175% on +25% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, its 3rd strong quarterly comparison well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings history (A criteria) has been strong since its $21 IPO in May '21.

G - Wedging to new all-time highs above its "max buy" level with recent gains lacking great volume conviction and its color code is changed to green. Recent gains above the pivot point were not backed by the minimum +40% above average volume necessary to trigger a proper technical buy signal. Through Dec '23 its quarterly and annual earnings (C and A criteria) history has been strong, a good match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines. Thinly traded firm has only 5.7 million shares outstanding (S criteria), which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
