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

this report as yellow and

Y - Color code is changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 6/03/20 high plus 10 cents. Rebounding toward its 52-week high with today's 4th consecutive gain. Its outlook has improved after recovering above its 50 DMA line ($33.30). Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a technical buy signal. Completed a new Public Offering on 6/08/20. Fundamentals remain strong after it reported earnings +39% on +12% sales revenues for the Mar '20 quarter. Rebounded impressively after a deep pullback since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 2/27/20.

Hit new 52-week and all-time highs with today's big "breakaway gap" and volume-driven gain. Fundamental concerns remain and it went through a choppy consolidation since last noted with caution in the 10/21/19 mid-day report - "Lackluster sales revenues growth and earnings (C criteria) history make it a sub par candidate under the fact-based investment system."

Holding its ground stubbornly near its 52-week high, but it faces resistance due to old overhead supply. Rebounded impressively from lows last year in the $1.20 area.

Most Recent Note for RVP - 7/17/2020 12:56:04 PM
Perched at its all-time high today following big volume-driven gains this week. Held its ground stubbornly following a recent spurt of volume-driven gains. Showed great earnings improvement in recent quarterly comparisons through Mar '20 with stronger sales revenues growth, however, quarterly sales totals are in the $11-13 million range, still rather minuscule for publicly traded companies. Annual earnings (A criteria) history is not a match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines.

Prior mid-day reports repeatedly noted - "Rebounding toward its 52-week high. Found support while consolidating above its 50 and 200 DMA lines in recent weeks. This Switzerland-based manufacturer of Semiconductor products reported earnings +5% on +7% sales revenues for the Mar '20 quarter, and prior quarterly earnings comparisons were lower than the respective year ago periods. Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been erratic and not a great match with the guidelines of the fact-based investment system."

Perched at its 52-week high, stubbornly holding its ground following a recent spurt of volume-driven gains. Reported earnings +93% on +36% sales revenues for the Jun '20 quarter versus the year ago period, its 2nd consecutive quarterly comparison with earnings increasing above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has not been strong and steady. Large supply of 5.18 billion outstanding shares (S criteria) makes it an unlikely sprinter.
