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 - Off today's earlier highs immediately following a technical breakout and strong finish on the prior session with 3 times average volume. Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its prior high plus 10 cents. The bullish action warrants attention, however the M criteria remains an overriding concern until a follow-through day from at least one of the major averages confirms a new rally. The 3/16/11 mid-day report noted - "Sales revenues increases show steady sequential deceleration from +55%, +49%, +47%, +43%, +40%, +37%, +34%, to +30% from the Mar '09 through the latest Dec '10 quarterly comparison(s) versus the respective year(s) earlier. It has shown good annual earnings increases since FY '08 and (A criteria) and great earning improvement in recent quarterly comparisons. Very little overhead supply remains to act as resistance up through the $32 level, meanwhile it has been enduring distributional pressure while building a choppy 13-week base. Increasing ownership by top-rated funds is a reassuring sign (I criteria), rising from 241 in Mar '10 to 293 in Dec '10."

Most Recent Note - 3/22/2011 12:54:24 PM
Y - Touched a new 52-week high earlier today after an orderly flat base near minimum length. Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 52-week high plus 10 cents. However, the M criteria argues against new buying efforts until a follow-through day confirms a new rally. Also, Street earnings estimates calling for EPS growth in the +8% range in FY '11 and FY '12 were previously noted as a concern. It was extended from an ideal base when last noted in the 2/23/11 mid-day report - "It rebounded above its 50 DMA line and made an impressive rally after it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 12/22/10 based on fundamental and technical concerns. Reported earnings +49% on +30% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 versus the year ago period."

G - Touched another new high today. After rallying beyond its "max buy" level its color code was changed to green. Prior highs near its pivot point define chart support to watch following last week's technical breakout. The M criteria argues against new buying efforts until a confirmed rally with follow-through day occurs.

Most Recent Note for AG - 3/22/2011 11:36:55 AM
This week this Vancouver, BC headquartered firm engaged in silver production in Mexico is challenging its all-time high hit as it was noted in the mid-day report on 3/09/11 when there was a negative reversal. It found support above its 50 DMA line in the interim and has spurted higher with more volume-driven gains. As noted in prior mid-day reports - "On 12/15/10 it was listed on the NYSE. Recent quarterly comparisons showed solid sales and earnings increases but its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been below guidelines."

Perched near all-time highs, holding its ground and rising since the 3/10/11 mid-day report appearance. Noted in prior mid-day reports - "After a considerable volume-driven gain on 3/02/11. Reported earnings +100% on +5% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 versus the year ago period. Its earnings history has been strong, but the lack of sales revenues growth raises concerns that there is not great or growing demand for a new (N criteria) product or services. "

Touched a new high after a small gap up today, then reversed into the red. Noted in the 3/21/11 mid-day report when challenging its high - "Following a brief consolidation above prior highs and its 50 DMA line defining support. No overhead supply remains to act as resistance, but the downturn in its FY '09 earnings is a flaw with respect to the A criteria. It completed a Public Offering on 12/09/10 and found support near its 50 DMA line since the 11/30/10 mid-day report noted - 'Recent quarterly comparisons show improving sales and earnings after negative comparisons.'"

Most Recent Note for EGOV - 3/22/2011 12:10:55 PM
Hit new 52-week and multi-year highs with recent gains. No resistance remains due to overhead supply following a recent streak of gains with above average volume. Recent quarters showed much better earnings increases with lackluster sales revenues increases versus the year earlier. It found great support near its 50 DMA line while consolidating after the 1/26/11 mid-day report noted - "Its annual earnings (A criteria) growth has not been strong and steady, so it is fundamentally below guidelines of the fact-based investment system."

Most Recent Note for EXPO - 3/22/2011 12:18:22 PM
Hit a new 52-week high with today's 8th consecutive gain, rising this week from an orderly flat base. No overhead supply remains to act as resistance. The 2 most recent quarterly comparisons (Sep and Dec '10) show improving sales and earnings, but its prior earnings and sales history was below the investment system guidelines and Street estimates for FY '11 and FY '12 are calling for earnings growth only in the +4-7% range. It survived but failed to impress since weak technical action was noted and it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 6/11/08.

Hit another new 52-week and all-time high today then reversed into the red. Proposed an additional Public Offering on 3/21/11 and the mid-day report noted - "Extended from any sound base. Rallied promptly from support at its 50 DMA line, and consecutive volume-driven gains prompted prior mid-day report appearances while it was noted - 'Recent quarters showed much better sales and earnings increases versus the year earlier. Prior quarterly comparisons and annual earnings (A criteria) growth have not been strong and steady, so it is fundamentally below guidelines of the fact-based investment system. Since last noted in the 12/06/10 mid-day report it proposed another Secondary Offering on 12/14/10. It was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 11/8/07, very soon after it had been featured in the October '07 CANSLIM.net News (read here). It completed a Public Offering on 5/14/10 and at least one other offering following the three offerings visible on the chart in the old report.'"
