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 - Up considerably today following a considerable gap up gain for a new 52-week high on the prior session when featured in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 5/19/11 high plus 10 cents. Quarterly comparisons (C criteria) have shown mostly impressive sales and earnings increases. Downturn in its FY '08 earnings was previously noted as a small flaw with respect to the A criteria of the fact-based investment system. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and an annotated graph.

G - Churning heavy volume without making meaningful price progress, a sign of distributional pressure. Extended from its prior base, meanwhile recent chart lows and its 50 DMA line define important near-term support to watch in the $41 area.

Most Recent Note - 8/3/2011 12:14:04 PM
Y - Gapped up today and hit a new all-time high after a 4 week consolidation that may be considered a square box base. Showing sales revenues and earnings acceleration. Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its high plus 10 cents. Held its ground since the considerable 6/29/11 gain on heavy volume after the Federal Reserve set a higher cap on debit-card fees (mentioned in the 6/29/11 Market Commentary - read here). Prior mid-day reports noted -"It survived but failed to impress since it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 7/02/08 after an ominous 'double top' pattern triggered a technical sell signal."

Most Recent Note for AAPL - 8/3/2011 11:43:03 AM
Still churning above average volume while hovering at its all-time high, extended from any sound base. Recently rallied after reporting very strong earnings +122% on +82% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Stellar earnings track record that solidly satisfies the C and A criteria. Heavily owned by the institutional crowd, and ownership by top-rated funds fell from 4,336 in Mar '11 to 4,265 in Jun '11.

It survived but failed to impress since it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 7/09/11. Rallying up from support at its 50 DMA line today, its fundamentals are not a good match for model winners based on the fact-based system.

Most Recent Note for AUY - 8/3/2011 11:49:53 AM
Inching to a new 52-week high today with no resistance remaining due to overhead supply. Quarterly sales revenues and earnings increases in the 3 latest comparisons through March 31, 2011 were above the +25% guideline satisfying the C criteria. The downturn in FY '09 earnings is a fundamental flaw concerning the A criteria. With respect to the I criteria, the number of top rated funds owning its shares fell from 904 in Mar '11 to 855 in Jun '11. It survived but failed to impress since 4/23/2008 when it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list and subsequently fell from $13 to $3 over the next 6 months. First it had traded up as much as +25.4% after it was first featured at $15.89 in the February 2008 CANSLIM.net News (read here).

Perched near its 52-week high today following volume-driven gains noted in prior mid-day reports. Found support at its 50 DMA line after recently inching above resistance near the $7 level. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has not shown strong and steady growth. Noted in prior mid-day reports - "Low-priced Telecom -Fiber Optics firm has shown minuscule revenues but improving sales revenues and earnings in the 3 latest quarterly comparisons. Technically it rose from a double bottom base pattern in late-April with volume driven-gains."

Gapped up and hit a new all-time high today following a consolidation to its 50 DMA line since last noted in the 7/18/11 mid-day report - "The downward turn in FY '09 earnings raises concerns with respect to the investment system's A criteria. Recent quarters show sales and earnings improving but prior history is below the fact-based system's guidelines."

Most Recent Note for GMCR - 8/3/2011 12:03:47 PM
Hit a new high today, rising following a considerable gap up on 7/28/11 after reporting earnings +133% on +127% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Bullish action has continued while it rarely and briefly paused to consolidate since last noted in the 5/23/11 mid-day report - "Inching higher today for new all-time high and it could go on to produce more climactic gains.. It completed a Public Offering on 5/05/11 and technically formed an advanced '3-weeks tight' pattern, however a new pivot point is not being cited. It is trading +80% above its 200 DMA line, which serves as a reminder for investors to watch out for sell signals more than having a bias toward any new buying efforts. Reported earnings +129% on +101% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. Held its ground following its considerable gap up on 3/10/11 after news of a deal with Starbucks Corp (SBUX). It has maintained a very strong sales revenues and earnings growth history solidly satisfying the C and A criteria. This previously featured leader was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/01/10."

Holding its ground after 2 consecutive volume-driven gains. Its considerable breakaway gap up on 7/29/11 for a new 52-week high, technically cleared a long base pattern, and it was noted in the mid-day report - "Earnings increased by +125% on +26% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Showing impressive sequential acceleration in recent quarterly comparisons, but prior quarterly comparisons showed lackluster sales revenues increases well below the +25% guideline, leaving some fundamental concerns."

Most Recent Note for TNH - 8/3/2011 12:26:54 PM
Perched at its 52-week high after considerable volume-driven gains, extended from any sound base pattern. Recent quarterly comparisons through Mar '11 showed impressive sales revenues acceleration and strong earnings increases versus the year-ago period, but its up and down annual earnings (questionable A) history remains a fundamental concern. There is a small supply of only 4.26 million shares in its float, which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
