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

G - Previously featured in
this report as yellow and

Y - Hitting a new all-time high today. Gapped up on the prior session and rebounded above its 50 DMA line ($72.95). New pivot point cited was based on its 4/18/18 high plus 10 cents. Gains above the pivot point with at least +40% above average volume may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Due to report earnings news after the close on Wednesday. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. Losses below the recent low ($69.37 on 5/02/18) would trigger a worrisome technical sell signal.

Prior lows in the $26-27 area define important near term support. Recently reported earnings +63% on +42% for the Mar '18 quarter.

Most Recent Note for ALOT - 6/5/2018 12:26:31 PM
Undercutting its 50 DMA line with today's volume-driven loss, retreating from multi-year high. Showed improved sales revenues and earnings increases in the Oct '17, Jan and Apr '18 quarters, its 3rd strong quarter above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history is not a match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines.

Hitting another new all-time high today, very extended from any sound base. Quarterly earnings increases through Mar '18 have been above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Sub par sales revenues growth remains a concern. Annual earnings history (A criteria) has been improving since a drastic downturn in FY '12-13.

Hitting new all-time highs with additional volume-driven gains after a gap up on 5/31/18 since finding support at its 50 DMA line. Reported Apr '18 quarterly earnings +59% on +13% sales revenues. Quarterly and annual earnings (C and A criteria) growth has been strong and steady. Sales revenues growth rate improved in the 2 latest quarters but has been mostly sub par and not a great match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines.

Powering to new 52-week highs with additional volume-driven gains. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Reported earnings +250% on +4% sales revenues for the Apr '18 quarter, but fundamental concerns remain. Recent quarterly comparisons showed lackluster sales revenues growth and its up and down annual earnings history (A criteria) makes it a sub par candidate."

Noted in prior mid-day reports - "This Switzerland-based manufacturer of Semiconductor products reported earnings +133% on +22% sales revenues for the Mar '18 quarter, adding to a streak of strong quarterly earnings increases above the +25% minimum (C criteria) with encouraging sales revenues acceleration. Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been erratic and not a great match with the guidelines of the fact-based investment system."

Gapped down on the prior session retreating from its 52-week high following an impressive streak of gains. Reported a loss of one cent per share on +35% sales revenues, versus a loss of 9 cents per share for the year ago quarter ended March 31. The 3 prior quarterly comparisons through Dec '17 were above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Increasing institutional ownership interest (I criteria) is a reassuring sign. Completed a new Public Offering on 9/13/17. Annual earnings history is limited since its $10 IPO in 2016.

Found support while consolidating above its 50 DMA line and it is perched within striking distance of its 52-week high. Reported earnings +15% on +6% sales revenues for the Mar '18 quarter.

Held its ground stubbornly at its all-time high after a big gap up on 5/29/18 capped a streak of 13 consecutive gains. Reported strong earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) in the Dec '17 and Mar '18 quarters. Concerns remains as prior history is limited, and earnings growth was not strong and steady after its $19.50 IPO in October 2016.
