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

this report as yellow and

Y - Hitting new all-time highs with today's breakaway gap with heavy volume. Color code was changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 2/16/21 high plus 10 cents in the 8/18/21 mid-day report. After the close it reported sub par Jul '21 quarterly earnings +4% on +10% sales revenues versus the year ago period. As previously noted - "Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. Earnings rose +39% on +19% sales revenues for the Apr '21 quarter versus the year ago period, its 4th strong quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong and steady."

Most Recent Note for AMD - 8/19/2021 12:06:50 PM
Consolidating after getting very extended from prior highs with impressive volume-driven gains. Prior highs in the $99 area define initial support above its 50 DMA line ($94.48). Patient investors may watch for a new base or secondary buy point to possibly develop and be noted in the weeks ahead. It went through a choppy consolidation since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 2/22/21. Its current Relative Strength rating of 85 is above the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates. Fundamentals remain strong after it reported Jun '21 quarterly earnings +250% on +99% sales revenues versus the year ago period.

Managed a "positive reversal" after today's early weakness undercutting its 50 DMA line ($194.56). Reported Jul '21 quarterly earnings +89% on +68% sales revenues versus the year ago period, marking its 7th consecutive quarterly comparison well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria).
