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 - Stubbornly holding its ground against a severely negative market backdrop. After featured in the 8/02/11 mid-day report its 8/03/11 gain triggered a technical buy signal with +170% above average volume behind its gain. The M criteria urges extreme caution, however, since 3 out of 4 stocks generally go along with the broader market averages.

Y - No overhead supply remains to act as resistance. Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point based on its 7/07/11 high after a double bottom type base. Technically it has been enduring distributional pressure near previously stubborn resistance in the $30 area since gapping up on 8/03/11 from below its 50 and 200 DMA lines. The 3 latest quarterly comparisons through June '11 show sales revenues and earnings acceleration and has a strong annual earnings, satisfying the C and A criteria.

Y - Rebounded to the middle of its intra-day range after early weakness today tested its 50 DMA line and briefly undercut last week's low. Concerns were raised after slumping back below its pivot point following distributional pressure. Its 8/03/11 gain with only +25% above average volume was below the volume threshold for a proper technical buy signal.

G - Holding its ground just above its 50 DMA line today. Gapped up on 8/05/11 after reporting earnings +78% on +44% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Promptly repaired its 50 DMA line violation, but it faces resistance at prior chart highs. The M criteria overrides all other promising criteria, since 3 out of 4 stocks follow the direction of the major averages.

Most Recent Note for AUY - 8/8/2011 11:52:20 AM
Gain today has it poised for its best close of the year with no resistance remaining due to overhead supply. Quarterly sales revenues and earnings increases in the 4 latest comparisons through June 30, 2011 were well 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 906 in Mar '11 to 860 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).

Most Recent Note for BLX - 8/8/2011 11:55:46 AM
Slumping below its nearby 50 and 200 DMA lines today and trading near prior lows in the $16.50 area that may act as support. When challenging its 52-week high it was last noted in the 8/02/11 mid-day report - "It has formed an orderly 7-month flat base during which it found support at its 200 DMA line. Recent quarterly comparisons showed strong sales revenues and earning increases but its up and down annual earnings (A criteria) is a concern."

Most Recent Note for IBM - 8/8/2011 12:04:22 PM
Consolidating -8.4% from its all-time high and slumping below its 50 DMA line today. Reported earnings +18% on +12% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 versus the year ago period, and prior mid-day reports noted - "Quarterly sales revenues and earnings increases have not met the investment system guidelines. It has maintained a solid annual earnings (A criteria) history since it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 9/05/08. Earnings growth has been slow and steady in the +13-18% range in quarterly comparisons versus the year ago period, however sales revenue growth in prior periods has been in the +2-8% range, farther below guidelines."

Most Recent Note for MCD - 8/8/2011 12:19:55 PM
The global burger giant's stock is viewed as a "safe haven" and longtime favorite for some institutional investors, however, with 1.04 billion shares outstanding it is unlikely to be a sprinter capable of many-fold price increases. Earnings increases in the quarterly comparisons have not met the +25% minimum guideline, and sales revenues increases have been sub par.

Prior mid-day reports noted - "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."

Pulling back today after holding its ground stubbornly following previously noted 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 - 8/8/2011 12:42:53 PM
Wider than usual intra-day price swings indicate recent uncertainty after repeatedly noted as extended from any sound base pattern. Reported earnings +78% on +19% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 versus the year ago period and recent quarters were strong, 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.

Gapped down today, pulling back from its 52-week high hit last week. Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been good. The 2 latest quarterly comparisons versus the year ago period showed sales revenues increases in the +14-17% range with earnings per share increases in the +25-44% range. Ownership by top-rated funds fell from 124 in Dec '10 to 116 in Jun '11, whereas increasing institutional interest (I criteria) is clearly desired.
