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

Y - Gapped down today pulling back with volume running at an above average pace. New pivot point cited was based on its 9/03/21 high plus 10 cents. Its 50 DMA line ($11.05) defines near-term support. A gain and solid close above the pivot point may clinch a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Reported Sep '21 quarterly earnings +100% on +30% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Recently found support above its 200 DMA line ($10.13).

Most Recent Note for AAPL - 12/8/2021 11:47:45 AM
Rallying to yet another new all-time high with today's 3rd consecutive volume-driven gain following recent days with a wider than usual intra-day price range and heavy volume. The Dec '20, Mar, Jun, and Sep '21 quarterly comparisons were well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) of the fact-based system. On 8/31/20 a 4:1 share split impacted share price. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 4,946 in Jun '19 to 5,889 in Sep '21. 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.

Most Recent Note for AOSL - 12/8/2021 11:49:02 AM
This Chinese Semiconductor firm powered to a new all-time high with another big volume-driven gain. Noted in prior mid-day reports - "Held its ground following 6 consecutive volume-driven gains, rallying from an 8-month base. Quarterly results through Sep '21 versus the year ago periods have shown strong sales revenues and earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline. There was a big downturn in FY '20 earnings which is not a match with the fact-based investment system's strict fundamental guideline (A criteria)."
