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 - Small gap down today tested support at its nearby 50 DMA line. Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 3/27/12 high plus 10 cents after a flat base. Technically, its volume driven-gain on the prior session triggered a technical buy signal capping a streak of 6 consecutive gains with an above average volume gain as it hit a new 52-week high and traded above its 2007 high within close range of its all-time high ($31.92 Dec '99). Reported earnings +25% on +23% sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. The 3 prior quarterly comparisons (through Dec '11) showed sales revenues increases above the year ago periods by +50%, and earnings increases were above the +25% guideline in 3 of the past 4 comparisons.

G - Rebounding quickly from the session's earlier lows. It traded down considerably today after reporting earnings +17% on +10% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period, marking a second consecutive quarter below the +25% minimum guideline for earnings growth. Disciplined investors make sell decisions based upon technical action alone, whereas buy decisions are to be made only when both fundamental and technical criteria met.

Gains backed by at least +40% above average volume while rising above the new pivot point cited based on its 4/05/12 high plus 10 cents may trigger a proper new (or add-on) technical buy signal.

Hitting a new 52-week high today. Quarterly earnings increases have been strong in recent comparisons through Dec '11, however its underlying sales revenues and its annual earnings (A criteria) growth history are not meeting the fact-based investment system's guidelines.

Gapped down today and violated its 50 DMA line following another quarterly report with sub par sales revenues and earnings increases. The 3/08/12 mid-day report noted - "Quarterly earnings comparisons have been below the +25% guideline.

A strong finish could clinch a technical buy signal. Reported strong results for the Mar '12 quarter and found support at its 200 DMA line during its consolidation since last noted when dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 3/27/12.

Rebounding toward its 52-week high today after a 4-week consolidation. Strong action was noted in late-March and Early-April mid-day reports that repeatedly warned - "Fundamentals still are not a match with the investment system's guidelines. It survived but failed to impress since noted in the 10/14/09 mid-day report - 'Poor annual earnings history.'"

Small gap down today from a 52-week and all-time high on the prior session. Earnings growth in quarterly comparisons has been below the +25% minimum guideline, short of the C criteria. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been good. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares fell from 1,020 in Dec '11 to 992 in Mar '12, not a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.

The 4/02/12 mid-day report noted - "On 3/14/12 it priced a Secondary Offering. Quarterly earnings increases in the Sep and Dec '11 comparisons versus the year ago periods were below the +25% minimum guideline. It has formed a 9-month cup shaped base."

Most Recent Note for INOD - 5/2/2012 12:47:23 PM
Today's 2nd consecutive gain with above average volume has it perched within close striking distance of its 52-week high. Reported earnings of 13 cents per share versus 1 cent per share with sales revenues up +71% for the latest quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Encountered stubborn resistance in the $6 area and found support near its 50 DMA line when consolidating since noted in the 2/15/12 mid-day report - "Rallied last week with gains on heavy volume that lifted this low-priced stock to a new 52-week high. Its recent quarterly comparisons (through Dec '11) showed improving sales growth and big earnings increases. A loss in FY '10 and erratic annual earnings history (A criteria) leave fundamental concerns as it does not match the investment system's guidelines."

Most Recent Note for IT - 5/2/2012 12:55:34 PM
Holding its ground today after the prior session's volume-driven gain to new 52-week and all-time highs. Due to report earnings on Wednesday,May 3rd. In 3 of the 4 most recent quarterly comparisons earnings increases were above the +25% minimum guideline. A downward turn in its FY '09 earnings is a concern with respect to the A criteria of the fact-based system's guidelines. It survived and rebounded in recent years after deteriorating badly after it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/02/08.

Reported earnings +23% on +6% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Last noted in the 1/05/12 mid-day report - "The Louisville, KY based pizza firm's lack of sales revenues growth in previous quarterly comparisons versus the year ago period is a concern. Superior buy candidates under the investment system's guidelines always showed strong sales revenues increases indicative of great demand for their products or services."

Due to report earnings on May 3rd. Recent comparisons showed mostly improving sales revenues and earnings with encouraging acceleration in sales revenues growth, but the Dec '11 comparison versus the year ago period showed only a +17% earnings increase, below the +25% minimum guideline. Annual earnings (A criteria) history had a downturn in FY '09, a flaw with respect to the fundamental guidelines of the fact-based investment system."

Pulling back today after a best-ever close on the prior session with another volume-driven gain.

Reported earnings +102% on +26% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Found support above its 50 DMA line during its ongoing ascent since noted in the 2/27/12 mid-day report after recently rising from a 7-month cup shaped base - "Recent quarterly comparisons showed improved earnings increases satisfying the C criteria, however its annual earnings (A criteria) included a downturn in FY '10.

Reported earnings +18% on +11% sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline. Bullish action continued since last noted in the 3/26/12 mid-day report - "No resistance due to overhead supply, but it is extended from any sound base. Found support above its 50 DMA line during the recent consolidation. Reported earnings +28% on +20% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. Prior comparisons were at or just under the +25% minimum earnings guideline while it showed slight sales and earnings acceleration, and its annual earnings (A criteria) history is good. Patient investors may watch for secondary buy points to possibly develop and be noted, rather than chasing it while too extended from a proper base pattern.'"

Most Recent Note for WWWW - 5/2/2012 1:34:27 PM
Considerable gap up gain today helped it touch a new 52-week high following a deep one-year cup-with-handle base pattern. Reported earnings +67% on +132% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Its Dec '11 comparison +17% was previously noted as its weakest earnings increase in more than 5 quarterly comparisons and below the +25% minimum guideline. Its annual earnings (A criteria) growth history included a downturn in FY '09 raising additional concerns with regard to the fundamental guidelines of the fact-based investment system.
