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 - This high-ranked Medical - Products firm is up from the session's earlier lows, perched within close striking distance of its 52-week and all-time highs. Since featured in the 7/06/11 mid-day report it encountered mild distributional pressure and did not rally for a strong close above its pivot point to trigger a proper technical buy signal.

G - Touched a new all-time high today with its 5th consecutive gain, and no overhead supply remains to act as resistance. It could produce more climactic gains but it is extended from a sound base pattern, perched well above its 50 DMA line and recent lows defining chart support.

Most Recent Note for AAPL - 7/18/2011 12:27:05 PM
It hit another new all-time high today, bucking the broader market on a mostly negative session. With the second largest market cap of all publicly traded firms, AAPL does not fit the mold of a small growth firm unknown by the institutional crowd. It has a stellar earnings track record that solidly satisfies the C and A criteria. After its last appearance on 8/09/10 in the Featured Stock Update section (with detailed notes and an annotated graph) it was noted in multiple mid-day reports through 2010 as it rallied to new all-time highs, and it was also noted a handful of times earlier this year. The Company Profile page includes "View All Notes" and "Featured Articles and Graphs" links which now make it easier than ever to review previous analysis.

It did not form a sound base pattern, and gains in recent weeks lacked great volume conviction until its 7/15/11 volume-driven spike to another new high which was noted in the mid-day report - "This high-ranked Chemicals - Specialty firm found support near its 50 DMA line and then wedged to new 52-week and all-time highs. Recent quarterly comparisons show gradual sales revenues acceleration and it has maintained a strong annual earnings history, with earnings growth satisfying the C and A criteria. Reported earnings +25% on +22% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 versus the year ago period."

Hovering near its all-time high after volume-driven gains last week. The downward turn in FY '09 earnings raises concerns with respect to the investment system's A criteria. Last noted in the 5/04/11 mid-day report - "Recent quarters show sales and earnings improving but prior history is below the fact-based system's guidelines."

Earnings growth has been slow and steady in the +13-18% range in quarterly comparisons versus the year ago period, however sales revenue growth has been in the +2-8% range, farther below guidelines.

Gapped up today and hit another new 52-week high after a gap up gain and technical breakout on 7/13/11. No resistance remains to hinder its progress. Its up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history does not meet the investment system guidelines, but recent quarterly comparisons showed mostly strong sales revenues and earnings increases versus the year ago period.

Most Recent Note for WYNN - 7/18/2011 1:11:38 PM
Rallied to a new 52-week high today with its 13th gain in the span of 15 sessions. It rebounded from a slump below its 50 DMA line in the interim since noted in the 6/01/11 mid-day report - "The drastic downturn in FY '09 earnings remains a flaw with respect to the A criteria of the fact-based investment system. Its latest quarterly comparisons showed improving sales and earnings but its prior earnings history is below guidelines of the fact-based investment system. Based on weak technical action it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list 11/8/07 and subsequently fell from $136 to as low as $14.50 in March '09 before rebounding. Traded up +43% after it was featured in the 8/26/07 Special Report titled 'Stocks That Should Now Be On Your Watch List' with annotated graphs and commentary including our detailed CANSLIM.net Profile, What To Look For And What To Look Out For, and Technical Analysis summaries (read here)."
