At around

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.

Touched a new all-time high today. Rebounded impressively from below its 50 and 200 DMA lines following a deep consolidation but fundamental concerns remain. Due to report earnings news on 4/20/20. Noted with caution near its all-time high in the 2/13/20 mid-day report - "Reported earnings +4% on +5% sales revenues for the Dec '19 quarter, its 2nd consecutive quarterly earnings increase below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria).

Most Recent Note for JD - 4/17/2020 12:57:12 PM
Hit another new 52-week high today then reversed into the red following 5 consecutive gains. Found prompt support near its 200 DMA line in recent weeks. Faces some resistance due to old 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.

This Japan-based giant in the Media- Diversified industry gapped up today and has rebounded above its 50 and 200 DMA lines with a streak of 4 consecutive volume-driven gains. Faces resistance due to overhead supply up to the $73 level.
