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
candidates
highlighted
by our staff
of experts.

G - Previously featured in
this report as yellow and
now may no longer be buyable
under the guidelines.

Y - There was a "negative reversal" on the prior session after hitting a new all-time high and recently trading in a wider range intra-day. Color code was changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 11/15/21 high plus 10 cents. Recently formed a "square box" base as it found support well above its 50 DMA line ($61) when consolidating. A gain and close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Reported Sep '21 quarterly earnings +141% on +66% sales revenues above the year ago period.

Y - Retreating from its all-time high with today's loss after a streak of gains. Finished strong after highlighted in yellow in the prior mid-day report with pivot point cited based on its 8/17/21 high plus 10 cents. This giant Medical - Diversified firm triggered a technical buy signal as it powered to new all-time highs with +78% above average volume behind its 5th consecutive gain after a choppy 17-week consolidation. Reported Sep '21 quarterly earnings +38% on +18% sales revenues versus the year ago period, and 3 of the past 4 quarterly comparisons were above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) improved steadily since a downturn in FY '14. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and an annotated graph.

Most Recent Note for AAPL - 12/17/2021 12:30:15 PM
There was a noted "negative reversal" on 12/13/21 after hitting yet another new all-time high. 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 5,890 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.

Abruptly retreating today after spiking to a new 52-week high on the prior session with its 3rd consecutive volume-driven gain. Stubbornly held its ground in recent weeks.
