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 ALOG - 4/2/2012 11:57:02 AM
Hitting a new 52-week high today. Held its ground after a recent spurt of volume-driven gains. Reported earnings +92% on +8% sales revenues for the quarter ended January 31, 2012 versus the year ago period following 4 consecutive quarters of earnings increases below the +25% minimum guideline. Last noted in the 1/20/12 mid-day report - "Inching to new 52-week high territory after a 9-month reverse-head-and-shoulders base pattern. Earnings history is not a match with the fact-based system's guidelines."

Most Recent Note for ANIK - 4/2/2012 11:58:32 AM
Hitting another new 52-week high today with a volume-driven gain. This low-priced stock was noted in prior mid-day reports - "Reported strong results for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, making it 3 consecutive quarterly comparisons (C criteria) above the +25% minimum earnings guideline. Its up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history remains a fundamental concern. Bullish action has continued after it appeared in 5 mid-day reports during February noted - 'Quarterly and annual earnings history has been below the investment system's guidelines.'"

Most Recent Note for CKEC - 4/2/2012 11:59:29 AM
Hitting another new 52-week high today, adding to a recent impressive spurt of volume-driven gains. It is very extended from any sound base pattern. Strong action came in recent weeks as the company provided encouraging guidance and received an analyst upgrade, however prior mid-day reports repeatedly noted - "Fundamentals still are not a match with the investment system's guidelines. It survived but failed to impress since noted in the 10/14/09 mid-day report - 'Poor annual earnings history.'"

Most Recent Note for EQIX - 4/2/2012 12:01:39 PM
Perched at its 52-week high today after a considerable spurt of volume-driven gains. It is extended from prior chart highs. Reported earnings +21% on +25% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. Ownership by top-rated funds (I criteria) has been on the rise, however prior mid-day reports noted - "Earnings history has been erratic. There are fundamental concerns due to pre-tax, non-recurring items included in the past 8 quarterly reports. This is indicated by blue triangles in the earnings per share box on the chart service used by CANSLIM.net experts."

Most Recent Note for HF - 4/2/2012 12:08:22 PM
Perched within close striking distance of its 52-week high today. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Recent quarterly comparisons through Dec '11 showed much better sales and earnings increases. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has not been strong and steady, so it is fundamentally below guidelines of the fact-based investment system. It went through a deep consolidation below its 200 DMA line and completed a Secondary Offering on 8/04/11, then rebounded impressively since noted in the 3/04/11 mid-day report."

Hovering near its 52 week high today following a spurt of volume-driven gains. The 3/02/12 mid-day report noted- "Additional overhead supply remains to act as resistance up through the $40 area. Fundamentals remain below the fact-based investment system's guidelines. It survived but failed to impress since it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 1/16/08."

Inching to another new 52-week high today. Held its ground after an impressive spurt of volume-driven gains, and prior mid-day reports noted - "Technically it is extended from prior chart highs, too far from any sound base. Fundamentally it is not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines. Low-priced stocks are discouraged from consideration as buy candidates unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied."

Prior mid-day reports noted - "Recent quarterly comparisons showed improving sales revenues and earnings increases. A downturn in FY '10 earnings is a flaw with respect to the A criteria.
