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
under the guidelines.

Y - Trading up again today. Another "negative reversal" on the prior session after hitting a new 52-week high was a sign it is encountering distributional pressure while it is poised to break out. No resistance remains due to overhead supply, and strong close above its pivot point may clinch a technical buy signal.

Y - Trading in the upper half of its intra-day range, rebounding from early lows after gapping down today for a damaging loss. A volume-driven gain on the prior session led to a close just 3 cents below its pivot point, almost triggering a technical buy signal under the fact-based system.

Most Recent Note for AGU - 7/3/2012 10:57:13 AM
Rallying above prior resistance in the $89 area with today's gain. It faces additional overhead supply. It survived but failed to impress since noted in the 2/09/11 mid-day report - "Recent quarters showed improving sales and earnings but its prior history is below guidelines of the fact-based investment system. Based on weak technical action it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list 7/25/08, and it subsequently dropped from $84.18 to $22.08 before rebounding."

The 7/02/12 mid-day report noted - "Reported earnings +36% on +11% sales revenues for the quarter ended May 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Prior earnings history is not a good match with the C or A criteria of the fact-based investment system. It survived but failed to impress since last noted in the 7/27/11 mid-day report."
