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.

Most Recent Note for BECN - 7/24/2012 11:52:40 AM
Encountering distributional pressure today, retreating from new 52-week and multi-year highs hit last week. No overhead supply remains to act as resistance. Prior mid-day reports noted - " Downturn in FY '10 earnings is a flaw concerning the A criteria of the fact-based investment system's guidelines. It survived but failed to impress since noted in the 5/01/2009 mid-day report - 'Its up and down annual earnings history (the A criteria) is a concern.'"

Most Recent Note for CYNO - 7/24/2012 11:56:06 AM
Reported earnings of 20 cents per share versus a year ago loss of 1 cent per share while sales revenues were up +50% versus the year ago period ended June 30th. Gapped up today, technically breaking out of the previously noted cup-with-handle base pattern built while consolidating since noted in the 5/03/12 mid-day report - "Now rebounding near its 52-week high. It survived but failed to impress since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 11/7/07. Its Dec '11 and Mar '12 quarters showed earnings after years of losses, but while it is an interesting turn around story, the fundamentals are not a match with the fact based system's guidelines."

Most Recent Note for HSTM - 7/24/2012 12:03:16 PM
Found support near its 50 DMA line, and a considerable gap up gain today helped it hit a new 52-week high. Reported earnings +13% on +23% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 versus the year ago period. Its prior quarterly comparison showed earnings -29%. As previously noted, its annual (A criteria) earnings history included a downturn in FY '10, a flaw with respect to the fact-based investment system's guidelines.

Retreating from its 52-week high, consolidating above its 50 DMA line and prior chart highs. Prior mid-day reports noted - "This REIT that invests in healthcare-related facilities has a sub par earnings growth history. Its quarterly sales revenues and earnings increases and annual earnings (A criteria) history are not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines."

Most Recent Note for MLNX - 7/24/2012 12:14:57 PM
It may go on to produce more climactic gains, while now consolidating following a huge 7/19/12 gap up gain for a new high after reporting earnings +267% on +111% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 versus the year ago period. Did not form a sound new base pattern, yet found prompt support after a streak of losses capped by a violation of its 50 DMA line triggered a technical sell signal. Weak action had prompted it to be dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 7/17/12.

Most Recent Note for RF - 7/24/2012 12:21:56 PM
Gapped up today, rallying within close striking distance of its 52-week high. Reported greatly improved earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 versus the year ago period, however sales revenues were -7%. Found support near its 50 DMA line since noted in the 6/26/12 mid-day report - "Quarterly and annual earnings history is not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines. Lack of sales revenues growth indicates no great increase in demand for its products or services. Low-priced stocks are discouraged from consideration unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied."

Most Recent Note for TRIP - 7/24/2012 12:23:51 PM
Pulling back today near its 50 DMA line, encountering distributional pressure while consolidating in recent weeks.

Most Recent Note for UA - 7/24/2012 12:29:07 PM
Gapped up today and hit a new 52-week high after reporting earnings +0% on +27% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, marking its 2nd consecutive quarterly comparison with earnings growth below the investment system's +25% minimum guideline. Found support well above its 200 DMA line while consolidating near prior lows in the $44 area defining a chart support level. Do not be confused by the 2:1 stock split impacting its share prices as of 7/10/12. It was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 6/27/12 due to weak action and a disappointing earnings report for March '12.
