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.

Consolidating after reaching a new all-time high this week with big volume-driven gains. It did not form a sound base yet rallied impressively after recently finding support at its 200 DMA line ($66.63). Earnings history included a -67% comparison in the Jul '19 quarter versus the year ago period, but otherwise results have been very strong with solid sales revenues growth.

Most Recent Note for GOLD - 4/2/2020 12:32:27 PM
Rebounded above its 50 DMA line ($18.97) after an abrupt retreat from its high on 2/24/20. Prior mid-day reports noted - "The Jun, Sep, and Dec '19 quarterly comparisons showed greatly accelerating sales revenues and earnings growth above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history is a flaw. It was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 3/14/12."

Most Recent Note for JD - 4/2/2020 12:33:18 PM
Found prompt support near its 200 DMA line ($34) and now consolidating near its 50 DMA line ($40.19). Faces some resistance due to overhead supply up to the $50 level. This Chinese retailer reported earnings +14% on +22% sales revenues for the Dec '19 quarter, breaking a streak of much stronger increases in the 4 prior quarterly comparisons versus the year ago periods. Up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history is not a match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines.

Most Recent Note for RNG - 4/2/2020 12:52:03 PM
There was a "negative reversal" on 3/30/20 after hitting a new all-time high. Rebounded impressively following an abrupt slump in recent weeks that briefly undercut its 200 DMA line ($164). Noted with caution in prior mid-day reports - "Reported earnings -4% on +34% sales revenues for the Dec '19 quarter. Earnings increases were below the +25% minimum guideline in the Mar, Jun, and Sep '19 quarters versus the year ago periods although sales revenues growth remained strong. Annual earnings growth has been strong since turning a profitable FY '16 after shrinking losses in prior years."

Consolidating near its 50 DMA line ($86) after an abrupt pullback. Powered to new all-time highs following a federal ruling that approved its proposed merger with Sprint (S). Reported earnings +25% on +4% sales revenues for the Dec '19 quarter. Sub par sales revenues growth rate is a concern while quarterly comparisons had earnings increases above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings improved steadily after a big loss in FY '12.
