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
by our staff
of experts.

G - Previously featured in
this report as yellow and
now may no longer be buyable

Y - Pulling back today from new all-time highs hit this week after 3 consecutive gains. No resistance remains due to overhead supply. The broader market (M criteria) has yet to confirm a new rally, however, and without a solid follow-through day from at least one of the major averages all new buying efforts are discouraged under the fact-based investment system.

Most Recent Note for BGS - 6/1/2012 11:49:25 AM
Pulling back today after a volume-driven gain on the prior session challenged its 52-week high. Reported earnings +30% on +20% sales revenues for the quarter ended Mar 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Its report of earnings +7% on +6% sales revenues for the quarter ended Dec 31, 2011 versus the year ago period marked its first quarterly comparison with earnings below the +25% minimum guideline in years. Very little overhead supply remains to act as resistance up through the $24 area. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Its earnings history has been strong, but the lack of sales revenues growth raises concerns that there is not great or growing demand for a new (N criteria) product or services."

Most Recent Note for HAIN - 6/1/2012 11:59:46 AM
Pulling back from its 52-week high with a 3rd consecutive loss today. Previously noted as very extended from any sound base pattern. Reported earnings +50% on +32% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Earnings were above the +25% minimum guideline in 3 of the past 4 quarterly comparisons satisfying the C criteria, however fundamental concerns remain regarding its annual earnings (A criteria) history. Prior mid-day reports noted- "Recent quarterly comparisons show sales revenues and earnings improvements helping it better satisfy the C criteria, but a downturn in FY '09 and FY '10 is a flaw with respect to the A criteria."

Most Recent Note for PETM - 6/1/2012 12:07:50 PM
Pulling back today for a 3rd consecutive loss after a volume-driven rally for new 52-week highs. Recently blasted higher from below its 50 DMA line after damaging distributional losses. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Reported earnings +39% on +9% sales revenues for the quarter ended April 30, 2012 versus the year ago period. Current earnings per share have been up +25% or more in 3 of the past 4 comparisons, which is good concerning the C criteria. However, quarterly sales revenues increases in the +6-9% are below the robust growth guidelines of the investment system, while sales should be up +18-25% or more or showing great acceleration over prior quarters."

During its recent consolidation it found support above its 50 DMA line following a streak of 6 consecutive losses after a "negative reversal" on 5/10/12. The 5/08/12 mid-day report and subsequent reports repeatedly noted - "Quarterly and annual earnings (C and A criteria) increases have not been strong and steady enough to meet the guidelines."

Reported earnings +97% on +34% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Little resistance remains up through the $54 level. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Quarterly comparisons through Dec '11 showed strong sales revenues and earnings increases satisfying the C criteria, however its prior earnings history has been erratic and is not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines."

Fundamentals are not a match with the fact-based investment system's winning models. Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong but the past 6 quarterly comparisons through Dec '11 showed earnings increases below the +25% minimum guideline for buy candidates."

Perched at its 52-week today after volume-driven gains this week including a considerable gap up on 5/30/12 from below its 50 DMA line. A downturn in FY '11 earnings is a flaw concerning the A criteria. The M criteria argues against new buying efforts in all stocks until a new confirmed rally with a solid follow through day from at least one of the major averages. The 5/30/12 mid-day report noted - "Reported earnings +33% on +23% sales revenues for the quarter ended April 30, 2012 versus the year ago period. Now 3 of the company's past 4 quarterly comparisons showed earnings above the +25% minimum satisfying the C criteria. It had slumped below its 50 DMA line while consolidating from highs hit since last noted in the 4/13/12 mid-day report - 'Quarterly and annual earnings increases (C & A criteria) are not a match with the fact-based system's guidelines.'"

Churning heavy volume in recent weeks without making meaningful price progress, action which indicates that it has been encountering distributional pressure. Found support above its 50 DMA line during its latest consolidation. The 5/03/12 mid-day report noted - "Hit a new 52-week high today with a 2nd consecutive volume-driven gain, rising from 12-month cup-with-handle base pattern. Reported earnings +63% on +8% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Sales revenues growth has been slow and steady in the +8% range while its 4 prior quarterly comparisons showed no growth in earnings."

Perched within close striking distance of its 52-week high, but pulling back today. A streak of volume-driven gains helped it recently rally from support at its 50 DMA line. It has formed a base-on-base pattern since the 4/24/12 mid-day report noted - "Today's volume-driven gain is clearing a 9-month long cup-with-handle base pattern. Reported earnings +51% on +12% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Prior earnings and sales increases have not met the fact-based investment system's guidelines for the C and A criteria although it has earned good ranks."

Held its ground recently above its 50 DMA line while consolidating and it is just -4.9% off its 52-week high today with no resistance remaining due to overhead supply. It proposed a Secondary Offering on 5/07/12, shortly after rallying from a deep one-year cup-with-handle base pattern when noted in the 5/03/12 mid-day report - "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."
