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.

Hitting another new 52-week high today with a 4th consecutive 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.

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.'"

Holding its ground and rising toward multi-year highs in the $19-20 area. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Earnings history is not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines. Hitting a new 52 week high today but it faces additional resistance due to overhead supply."

Consolidating above prior highs in the $61 area after recently wedging into new high territory. Reported earnings +15% on +12% sales revenues for the Dec '11 quarter. Prior mid-day reports noted -"Reported earnings +14% on +13% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. This Israel-based Computer Software - Security firm has earned high ranks and has a history of steady sales revenues and earnings increases (not showing acceleration) below the fact-based investment system's minimum guidelines."

Most Recent Note for CMG - 4/11/2012 11:51:25 AM
It has steadily inched higher and held its ground, rallying with no resistance remaining due to overhead supply, hitting new all-time highs repeatedly since the 2/02/12 mid-day report noted - "Reported earnings +23% on +24% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. Found support above its 200 DMA line during its consolidation and continued to rise since fundamental concerns prompted it to be dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 8/02/11. To satisfy the C criteria a company should show earnings increases above +25% in the past 3 or 4 quarterly comparisons or show impressive sequential acceleration in recent earnings increases, rather than being up and down with results that are lackluster and only borderline with the minimum guideline."

Most Recent Note for EMC - 4/11/2012 11:55:30 AM
Testing support at its 50 DMA line today. Recently pulled back under its 2011 highs after wedging into new high territory without great volume conviction behind its recent gains. Sales revenues and earnings increases reported in the Sep and Dec '11 quarters showed a decelerating growth rate. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history and quarterly earnings and sales revenues increases have been below the fact-based investment system guidelines. Large supply of 2.053 billion shares outstanding makes this big-cap Computer - Data Storage firm an unlikely sprinter.

Recently slumping under its 50 DMA line after making limited progress into new 52-week high territory following a breakout from a tight 5-week flat base pattern when previously noted. Last noted in the 3/05/12 mid-day report - "The Jun, Sep, and Dec '11 quarters showed great fundamental improvement with strong earnings satisfying the C criteria. A dip in its FY '09 earnings has been noted as a flaw concerning the A criteria making it not a solid match with the fact-based system's guidelines."

Touched yet another new 52-week high on 4/10/12 then reversed into the red for a loss on more than 2 times average volume after 5 consecutive gains. It has been repeatedly noted as very extended from any sound base pattern. Reported earnings 58% on +35% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. No base has formed since noted in the 3/07/12 mid-day report "Technically, it broke out on 2/13/12 with a volume-driven gain, and now it is getting extended from its prior base. Fundamentals have remained strong since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 9/29/11. Patient investors may watch for secondary buy points to possibly develop and be noted."

Perched near its 52-week high today, extended from any sound base pattern. Found support above prior highs in the $18 area and well above its 50 DMA line, then continued higher since noted in the 3/20/12 mid-day report - "Reported earnings +200% on +108% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. Following several years of operating losses (bad A criteria) it showed strong sales revenues increases and produced solid earnings versus year-ago losses for the quarterly comparisons in Mar, Jun, and Sep '11."

Slumped below its 50 DMA line and below its 2011 high with its recent streak of losses. Reported earnings +13% on +8% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Earnings and sales revenues growth rates have been below guidelines.

Most Recent Note for TITN - 4/11/2012 12:15:42 PM
Considerable gap up gain today for a new 52-week high. Reported earnings +47% on +65% sales revenues for the quarter ended January 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Technically, it broke out from a sound base pattern with a volume-driven gain on 4/09/12. It when through a deep consolidation below its 200 DMA line since completing a new Public Offering on 5/06/11. The 6 most recent quarterly comparisons show improving sales revenues and earnings increases, but its annual earnings history (A criteria) had a downward turn in FY '10, making it fall below the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines.

Hitting new 52-week and all-time highs today while wedging higher with a 4th consecutive gain lacking great volume conviction. Reported earnings +48% on +41% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Recent gains cleared the old high that it hit when noted in the 8/31/11 mid-day report - 'Reported earnings +78% on +19% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 versus the year ago period and recent quarters were strong, but its up and down annual earnings (questionable A) history remains a fundamental concern. There is a small supply of only 4.26 million shares in its float, which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.'"

Most Recent Note for VMW - 4/11/2012 12:22:06 PM
Gapped down today for a loss on heavy volume and traded near its 50 DMA line, yet it is well up from the session's early lows. Recently wedged to new 52 week highs without especially great volume conviction behind its gains. Due to report earnings on Wednesday, April 18th. The past 8 quarterly comparisons through Dec '11 have shown strong earnings per share and sales revenues increases versus the year ago periods. A slight downturn in its FY '09 earnings is a small flaw with respect to the A criteria of the fact-based system.

Today's small gap up helped it touch a new 52-week high with volume running at an above average pace behind its 4th consecutive gain. Recent quarterly comparisons show strong earnings increases, but its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been up and down and is not a match with the investment system's guidelines.
