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 - Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 7/20/20 high plus 10 cents. Hitting a new all-time high today.

Prior 3 quarterly comparisons also were above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) and sequential comparisons show impressive acceleration in its sales revenues and earnings growth rate.

Y - Pulled back below its pivot point retesting support at its 50 DMA line ($9.84) with volume-driven losses this week indicative of distributional pressure. Stalled since reaching a new 52-week high. A violation of its 50 DMA line would raise concerns and trigger a technical sell signal.

Most Recent Note for NVDA - 8/20/2021 12:34:39 PM
Managed a noted "positive reversal" on the prior session after early weakness undercutting its 50 DMA line ($195). 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).

Completed the Mellanox Technologies (MLNX) acquisition on 4/27/20.
