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.

G - Slumped below its 50 DMA line ($118.32) with heavier volume behind damaging losses this week raising greater concerns. A rebound above the 50 DMA line is needed for its outlook to improve. Subsequent gains and a close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a proper technical buy signal. Fundamentals remain strong as it reported Jun '21 quarterly earnings +42% on +27% sales revenues. Its Relative Strength Rating has slumped to 78, below the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates.
