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

of experts.

G - Previously featured in
this report as yellow and

G - Reported earnings +72% on +170% sales revenues for the Mar '19 quarter and gapped down today violating its 50 DMA line, triggering a technical sell signal. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. A rebound above its 50 DMA line ($63.19) is needed for its outlook to improve.

Most Recent Note for DISCA - 5/1/2019 1:33:00 PM
Perched within striking distance of its 52-week high, consolidating above support at its 50 and 200 DMA lines. Earnings increases were above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) in 3 of the past 4 quarterly comparisons versus the year ago periods with solid sales revenues growth. Up and down annual earnings (A criteria) is a concern, fundamentally. Ownership by top-rated funds rose from 1,013 in Jun '18 to 1,128 in Mar '19, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.

Hovering near multi-year highs since last noted with caution in the 1/30/19 mid-day report. Earnings were up more than the +25% minimum (C criteria) for the 3 latest quarterly comparisons through Mar '19. Prior quarterly and annual earnings (A criteria) history for this bank has been erratic. It survived but failed to impress since dropped from the Featured Stocks list after noted on 1/04/05.

Most Recent Note for MSFT - 5/1/2019 1:37:27 PM
Made steady progress into all-time high territory in recent weeks while no overhead supply remains to act as resistance. Gapped up on 4/25/19 after it reported earnings +20% on +14% sales revenues for the Mar '19 quarter. Prior quarterly and annual earnings (C and A criteria) and sales growth history is not a match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines.

On track today for a 9th consecutive small gain. The 4/23/19 mid-day report last noted - "Reported Mar '19 quarterly earnings +11% on +10% sales revenues, the 2nd consecutive quarter with earnings below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Sub par sales revenues growth history indicates no new product or service (N criteria) in great demand."

Reported earnings +8% on +1% sales revenues for the Mar '19 quarter, while prior comparisons were above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been up and down, not strong and steady. Its all-time high $27.75 was hit in May 2000 after its IPO. Went through a deep consolidation since noted with caution in the 5/25/18 mid-day report.

Most Recent Note for VIAV - 5/1/2019 1:47:15 PM
Hitting a new 52-week high with today's big gain. Due to report results for the latest quarter on Thursday May 2, 2019, after the close of market. Three of the past 4 quarterly comparisons through Dec '18 showed strong sales revenues growth and earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings history has been improving, but a big downturn in FY '15 is a flaw with regard to the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines.

Reported earnings +13% on +10% sales revenues for the Dec '18 quarter. Due to report earnings news on 5/02/19. Noted with caution in the 2/22/19 mid-day report - "Fundamental concerns remain. Prior quarterly and annual earnings history is not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines (C and A criteria). Low-priced stocks are discouraged from consideration unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied."
