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.

this report as yellow and

Y - Color code is changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 11/21/13 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent volume-driven gains for new highs may trigger a new technical buy signal.

Perched -1.7% off its 52-week high and on the right side of an 8-week cup shaped base.

Trading within close striking distance of its 52-week high today after stubbornly holding its ground well above prior highs in recent weeks while consolidating. Reported earnings +55% on +19% sales revenues for the Oct '13 quarter, but fundamental concerns remain. Prior mid-day reports cautioned members - "Recent quarterly comparisons through Jul '13 showed greatly improved earnings results and improved sales revenues growth. Quarterly revenues totals in the $6-8 million range are rather minuscule, and its annual earnings (A criteria) history has not been strong and steady. Low-priced stocks are discouraged from consideration unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied. Recently enduring distributional pressure after getting extended from any sound base."

Most Recent Note for TYL - 1/8/2014 1:11:49 PM
Consolidating -5.4% off its 52-week high and trading near its 50 DMA line defining important near-term support. Reported earnings +5% on +14% sales revenues for the Sep '13 quarter, well below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Prior earnings growth has not been strong and steady. Last noted in the 11/12/13 mid-day report with caution - "It survived but failed to impress, and fundamentals today are below guidelines. The Computer-Tech Services firm was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 9/24/08 due to technical weakness."
