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 - Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 9/18/17 high plus 10 cents. Hovering within close striking distance of its all-time high. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a technical buy signal. Sales revenues increases were in the +30-47% range while three of the past 4 quarterly earnings comparisons through Dec '17 were above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Showed strong earnings growth since FY '15 after years of losses.

Y - Encountered distributional pressure on the prior session after challenging its all-time high. Recent gains lacked great volume conviction as it wedged up above the new pivot point cited based on its 2/28/18 high plus 10 cents. Gains above a stock's pivot point must have more than +40% above average volume to trigger a proper new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Very little resistance remains due to overhead supply up to the $569 level. The 50 DMA line defines near-term support to watch above the recent lows ($480).
