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

of experts.

G - Previously featured in
this report as yellow and

Retreating from its all-time high and testing its 50 DMA line ($168) with today's big loss. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Reported strong quarterly earnings increases well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) with solid sales revenues growth through Aug '17. However, its annual earnings history (A criteria) included a downturn in FY '13 and '14, a flaw in regard to the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines."

Retreating further below its 50 DMA line ($176) today after damaging volume-driven losses last week. Abruptly retreated from its all-time high after getting very extended from any sound base. Prior mid-day reports cautioned members - "Reported Sep '17 earnings +46% on +42% sales revenues, its 5th consecutive strong quarterly comparison versus the the year ago period(s). Prior highs in the $155 area define initial support to watch on pullbacks. Its annual earnings (A criteria) growth has not been strong and steady so it is fundamentally below guidelines of the fact-based investment system."

Pulling back from multi-year highs after an impressive spurt of volume-driven gains. Prior mid-day reports repeatedly noted - "This thinly-traded Electronics - Semiconductor Equipment firm is reportedly owned by only 15 top-rated funds. Through Sep '17 its quarterly and annual earnings history has been good enough for it to earn very high ranks, however, quarterly sales revenues totals in the $9-11 million range are still rather minuscule."
