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 - Gapped up today, hitting a 52-week high, rising from an 9-week cup-shaped base without a handle. Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 4/19/12 high plus 10 cents. It stayed well above its 50 DMA line during the latest consolidation. Reported earnings +113% on +61% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Its streak of 3 strong quarterly earnings comparisons now satisfies the C criteria. A downturn in FY '09 earnings is a small flaw in its annual earnings (A criteria) history. Gapped up on 4/17/12 for a new all-time high following an analyst upgrade. Top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 108 in Jun '11 to 177 in Mar '12 a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.

Most Recent Note for ACIW - 6/18/2012 11:59:31 AM
Hit a new high today, rallying from a new base above the previously noted 6-month cup shaped base. Reported earnings +211% on +32% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. It had reported earnings -13% on -4% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 versus the year ago period, creating a flaw concerning the C criteria. Consensus estimates call for earnings +8% in FY '12, yet its annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been improving nicely since a loss in FY '07.

Reported earnings +29% on +29% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period.

Hitting a new 52-week high with today's 5th consecutive gain. It was last noted in the 5/18/12 mid-day report - "Reported earnings -2% on +7% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Earnings and sales growth history is below the guidelines of the fact-based investment system, still. It survived but failed to impress since noted in October 2007 mid-day reports after a huge gap up on news if had interested buyers including Carl Icahn."

Reported earnings +46% on +13% sales revenues for the quarter ended April 30, 2012 versus the year ago period, marking 3 consecutive quarterly earnings comparisons above the +25% guideline (meeting C criteria). Its annual earnings (A criteria) history included a dip in FY '11 earnings that leaves fundamental concerns with respect to the fact-based investment system's guidelines."

Most Recent Note for EBAY - 6/18/2012 12:09:30 PM
Hitting a new 52-week high today, rising from an orderly flat base. Found support at its 50 DMA line again recently and stayed above prior highs in the $38 area while consolidating following a considerable gap up and volume-driven gain on 4/19/12 for new 52-week and multi-year highs. The 4/23/12 mid-day report noted - "No resistance remains due to overhead supply, however sub par fundamentals remain a concern. Earnings increases have been below the fact-based system's +25% minimum guideline in the past 8 quarterly comparisons versus the year ago period through Mar '12. Still growing since FY '09 marked the first downturn in its strong annual earnings history (the A criteria)."

Most Recent Note for INOD - 6/18/2012 12:10:48 PM
Perched at its 52-week high with above average volume behind today's 5th consecutive gain after a negative reversal when noted in the 6/11/12 mid-day report - "It has encountered stubborn resistance in the $6 area and found support near its 50 DMA line when consolidating. 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. 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."

Inching to another new 52-week high today, recently holding its ground after a spurt of volume-driven gains. Tallied 6 consecutive weekly gains, however it faces additional overhead supply that may act as resistance. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Earnings history is not a match with the fact-based investment system. Low-priced stocks are discouraged from consideration unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied."

Hitting another new high today, getting extended from prior highs. A previously noted considerable volume-driven gain on 6/12/12 helped it break out above previously stubborn resistance in the $46 area. Reported earnings +205% on +161% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Strong prior quarterly comparisons with solid sales revenues and earnings increases satisfy the C criteria of the fact-based system. Downward turn in its FY '09 earnings was previously noted as a flaw concerning the A criteria. Rallied 4-fold from its February 2011 lows in the $12 area.
