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

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.

Most Recent Note for AFOP - 9/19/2013 11:48:31 AM
Hitting another new 52-week high with today's 4th consecutive gain. Do not be confused by 2:1 split impacting share prices on 9/17/13. A pullback tested support near prior highs in the $17.50 area following a recent technical breakout, however prior mid-day reports repeatedly cautioned - "Recently found support while consolidating above its 50 DMA line and prior lows in the $28 area. This Sunnyvale, CA based Telecom - Fiber Optics firm showed strong increases in sales and earnings above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) through the Jun '13 period. Prior mid-day reports cautioned - 'Up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history is a fundamental concern, not meeting the fact-based investment system's guidelines.'"

Argentina-based bank is perched near its 52-week high.

Most Recent Note for CI - 9/19/2013 11:53:07 AM
Retreating from its 52-week high with today's 3rd consecutive loss. Found support above its 50 DMA line and rallied further since noted with caution in the 6/21/13 mid-day report. Reported earnings +19% on +8% sales revenues for the Jun '13 quarter, below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings growth (A criteria) has been slow and steady since a downturn in FY '08. Consensus estimates for earnings growth +11% and +9% in FY '13 and 14, respectively, may be cause for some concern.

Most Recent Note for CRZO - 9/19/2013 11:54:49 AM
Perched at its 52-week high today following 2 consecutive volume-driven gains. It faces a little resistance due to overhead supply up through the $44 area where it topped out in 2011. Three of the past 4 quarterly earnings comparisons through Jun '13 showed greater than +25% increases (C criteria). Up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history remains a fundamental flaw.

Pulling back from its 52-week high with a 2nd consecutive volume-driven loss. Reported earnings +15% on +3% sales revenues for the Jun '13 quarter.

Most Recent Note for NQ - 9/19/2013 12:03:27 PM
Hovering at its 52-week high following a recent spurt of gains backed by above average volume. Found support while recently consolidating above its 50 DMA line. Stalled after its considerable gap up gain on 8/13/13 and it did not form a sound base pattern of sufficient length since noted in prior mid-day reports with caution - "Patient investors may watch for a secondary buy point or new base to potentially form and be noted in the coming weeks. Quarterly sales and earnings comparisons have shown great increases percentage-wise in recent quarterly comparisons through Jun '13 satisfying the C criteria. Annual earnings (A criteria) has also been strong. This Chinese Computer Software - Security firm is perched at new 52-week and all-time highs, very extended from any sound base after an impressive rally in the past month. The stock got off to a poor start from its 5/05/11 IPO priced at $12."

Hovering near 52-week and all-time highs today, extended from any sound base.
