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

of experts.

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

Most Recent Note - 1/17/2019 2:14:00 PM
Y - Stubbornly holding its ground in a tight range, churning higher volume while perched within close striking distance of its prior high. Due to report earnings news after market close on Thursday, January 17, 2019. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. Color code was changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 10/01/18 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. Its 50 DMA line ($82.60) and prior low define near-term support to watch on pullbacks.

Most Recent Note for AUDC - 1/17/2019 1:49:02 PM
This Israel-based Telecom firm is pulling back today after matching its 52-week high on the prior session capping a streak of 5 consecutive gains. Found support at its 200 DMA line weeks ago and has rebounded. Noted in prior mid-day reports - "Reported earnings +90% on +14% sales revenues for the Sep '18 quarter, its 7th consecutive quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Sales revenues growth rate improved in recent quarters, an encouraging sign."

Most Recent Note for BSTC - 1/17/2019 1:51:36 PM
Thinly traded Biomed/Biotech firm is hitting a new 52-week high with today's 3rd consecutive gain on ever-increasing volume. Earnings increases have been above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) in the 4 latest quarterly comparisons through Sep '18. Sales revenues growth showed acceleration, but quarterly totals have been in the $7-8 million range, still rather minuscule in the context of all publicly traded companies.

Most Recent Note for CACC - 1/17/2019 1:52:18 PM
Rebounded above its 50 DMA line, but it still faces resistance due to overhead supply up to the $467 level. Reported Sep '18 quarterly earnings +49% on +17% sales revenues versus the year ago period, marking its 4th consecutive quarterly comparison above the investment system's +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong and steady.

Most Recent Note for DLA - 1/17/2019 1:59:26 PM
Rallying above recent highs today, yet it faces some resistance due to overhead supply up to the $23 level. Quarterly earnings increases through Sep '18 have not been strong and steady above the +25% guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been up and down. Fundamental concerns remain since noted with caution in the 1/06/12 mid-day report.

Reported +33% earnings on +13% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 versus the year ago period, marking the 2nd quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum (C criteria). Small downturn in FY '16 earnings was noted as a flaw with respect to the A criteria.

Hit a new 52-week high with today's early gain.

Rebounded above its 200 DMA line with above average volume behind a recent spurt of gains. Faces some resistance up to the $38 level due to overhead supply. Noted with caution in prior mid-day reports - "The three latest quarterly comparisons through Sep '18 showed strong earnings increases.

Most Recent Note for WIRE - 1/17/2019 2:14:25 PM
Reported earnings +69% on +17% sales revenues for the Sep '18 quarter, but fundamental concerns remain. Overhead supply remains and may hinder its progress up to the $58 level. Noted with caution in the 2/28/18 mid-day report - "Erratic annual earnings (A criteria) history makes it a questionable candidate, fundamentally."

Faces near-term resistance due to overhead supply up to the $7 level. Found support at its 200 DMA line during its consolidation since noted in the 10/30/18 mid-day report - "Reported earnings +29% on +8% sales revenues for the Sep '18 quarter. Fundamental concerns remain. Prior quarterly and annual earnings history is not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines (C and A criteria). Low-priced stocks are discouraged from consideration unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied."
