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.

Stubbornly holding its ground after rallying to a new all-time high with gains backed by volume. Found prompt support at its 50 DMA line. Formed an orderly base since noted in the 11/05/21 mid-day report - "Reported Sep '21 quarterly earnings +112% on +28% sales revenues versus the year ago period, its 4th strong comparison. Down turn in FY '19 is a flaw in its annual earnings (A criteria) history, not a match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines."
