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

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

Gapped up again today for another considerable gain and a new 52-week high following a brief consolidation. Reported earnings +54% on +6% sales revenues for the Jun '13 quarter, above the +25% minimum earnings guideline for a 3rd consecutive quarterly comparisons (C criteria). Prior mid-day reports cautioned - "Sub par sales revenues growth hints at no great demand for new (N criteria) products or services, and its up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history leaves fundamental concerns. In the past year it went through a deep consolidation below its 200 DMA line then rebounded impressively and recently topped its 2012 high ($17.70)."
