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 new pivot point cited based on its 9/11/17 high plus 10 cents. Challenged its high with today's volume-driven gain. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a proper technical buy signal. Reported Jun '17 quarterly earnings +32% on +20% sales revenues, continuing its streak of strong quarterly earnings (C criteria) results. Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong after a downturn in FY '14. Small supply of only 11.2 million shares (S criteria) in the public float can contribute to greater volatility.

Very extended from any sound base. Reported earnings +40% on +17% sales for the Jun '18 quarter, its 2nd quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) of the fact-based system. Companies currently on the Featured Stocks list are ideal candidates fitting the fact-based investment system's guidelines before becoming heavily owned by the institutional crowd.

Extended from any sound base, and it gapped down today. Patient investors may watch for a new base or secondary buy point to possibly develop and be noted in the weeks ahead.

Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong after a downturn in FY '15. Up considerably from its $14 IPO on 6/26/15.

This Israel-based Telecom firm is extended from any sound base.

Reported earnings +75% on +12% sales revenues for the Jun '18 quarter, its 6th consecutive quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Sales revenues growth rate improved in recent quarters, an encouraging sign.

Most Recent Note for ESQ - 9/6/2018 12:34:21 PM
This thinly-traded holding company in the Finance - Commercial Loans industry group has been noted while sputtering below its 50 DMA line, yet still hovering near its all-time high. Quarterly sales revenues have been in the $5-9 million range, rather minuscule, along with its small supply (S criteria) of only 5.1 million shares in the public float. Limited history is a concern since its $14 IPO on 6/29/17. Reported earnings +123% on +44% sales revenues for the Jun '18 quarter versus the year-ago period, the 5th consecutive quarterly comparison with an earnings increase above the +25% minimum guideline.

Encountering distributional pressure this week, this Switzerland-based Computer - Hardware/Peripherals firm was noted as it wedged higher in recent weeks for a new all-time high with gains marked by lackluster volume. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Jun '18 quarterly earnings rose +42% on +15% sales revenues results, but prior quarterly comparisons were below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria).
