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 - Color code is changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 52-week high plus 10 cents while building on a riskier late-stage base. Prior lows near $64 define important chart support above its 200 DMA line. A gap up and rebound above its 50 DMA line has helped its technical stance improve since it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 12/22/11.

Holding its ground today following a negative reversal on the prior session after surging to a new 52-week high. Technically it broke out from a reverse-head-and-shoulders pattern on 1/06/12. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Earnings history has been erratic, not a match with the investment system's guidelines."

Most Recent Note for ASPS - 1/11/2012 12:03:51 PM
Enduring distributional pressure yet still holding its ground in a very tight trading range, building an orderly base pattern above its 50 DMA line. Noted in the 12/15/11 mid-day report - "Rallied to new all-time high territory with a recent spurt of volume-driven gains. Technically, it broke out with a considerable gain on 10/27/11. Quarterly earnings increases have been mostly strong and backed by solid sales revenues increases, but the -16% earnings in its Jun '11 quarter is a flaw concerning the C criteria. This Luxembourg-based Financial Services firm's small supply (S criteria) of only 16.2 million shares in the public float can contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. ASPS was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/07/10 then violated its 200 DMA with a streak of volume-driven losses, and it subsequently rebounded back above its 200 DMA and 50 DMA lines."

Holding its ground perched near its 52-week high building on an orderly base. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Earnings and sales growth history is below the guidelines of the fact-based investment system, still. It survived but failed to impress since last noted in October 2007 mid-day reports after a huge gap up on news if had interested buyers including Carl Icahn."

Perched within close striking distance of its 52-week high and all-time high today after 5 consecutive volume-driven gains, rising from support near its 50 DMA line. Its high was hit when noted in the 11/16/11 mid-day report - "The 3 latest quarterly comparisons through Sep '11 showed strong sales revenues and earnings increases with impressive acceleration, however the downward turn in FY '09 and FY '10 earnings (A criteria) is a concern."

Gapped down today, slumping toward support at its 50 DMA line. This British manufacturer of alcoholic beverages gapped up hitting its high when last noted in the 1/03/12 mid-day report - "Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been below the fact-based system's guidelines, and its quarterly comparisons have not shown strong sales revenues and earnings increases matching the winning models from the book 'How to Make Money in Stocks'."

Hitting a new 52-week high today with a 4th consecutive volume-driven gain. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Reported earnings +171% on +43% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Fundamentals do not meet guidelines of the fact-based investment system, especially after a loss in FY '09. It was noted 10/30/07 -'Questionable annual earnings history (not a strong A).'"

Challenging its 52-week high today after an orderly consolidation above prior highs and its 50 DMA line. Insider buying reported in November was previously noted as an encouraging sign. Prior mid-day reports noted - "The June and September '11 quarters showed great sales revenues increases and earnings versus year ago losses. Years of ongoing operating losses make it not a match with the investment system's guidelines."

Inching higher since last noted in the 1/05/12 mid-day report. It found support at its 50 DMA line on pullbacks and then continued higher since noted in the 10/26/11 mid-day report - "Lack of sales revenues growth is a concern even while earnings increases were strong in the Jun and Sep '11 quarterly comparisons versus the year ago periods. Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been up and down."

Holding its ground today after clearing prior chart highs with 2 consecutive volume-driven gain. It is -7.0% off its 52 week high, and its fundamentals remain below the fact-based investment system's guidelines. It was noted on 3/02/10 - "Still below its multi-year highs in the $44-45 area. Earnings and sales increases in recent comparisons have been below guidelines. It has a good annual earnings (A criteria) history. Based on weak technical action it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 1/16/08."

Up again today, adding to its recent spurt of volume-driven gains for new 52-week highs. Found support near its 50 DMA line during its consolidation since noted in the 10/25/11 mid-day report - "Earnings history is below the guidelines of the fact-based system. It priced a $600 million convertible debenture offering last week. It is unhindered by resistance after clearing all overhead supply with its impressive rebound. It survived but failed to impress since last noted when weak action prompted it to be dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 12/12/07."

Still hovering near its 52-week high today. Stubbornly held its ground and it was repeatedly noted in prior mid-day reports during a streak of 9 consecutive gains with ever-increasing volume - "Limited history is a concern and its choppy consolidation in recent months is not a sound base pattern after rallying considerably from its 4/08/11 IPO priced at $16. Quarterly comparisons show strong sales revenues and earnings increases satisfying the C criteria."
