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.

G - Previously featured in
this report as yellow and

Most Recent Note for AAPL - 1/20/2011 1:09:31 PM
Down again today with high volume, and wider than usual price volatility is a recent indication of uncertainty. Its 50 DMA line and prior highs define support to watch. The leader of the company with the second largest market cap announced a leave of absence due to personal health reasons. Since late last year it found support above that important short-term average and wedged higher without great volume conviction in the interim since last noted in the 10/20/10 mid-day report - "If a proper base forms AAPL may be added to the Featured Stocks list again. Members should regularly review that page of most action-worthy ideas to stay abreast of the best buy candidates under the fact-based investment system."

Most Recent Note for ADI - 1/20/2011 1:12:35 PM
Consolidating above prior highs after a technical breakout on 1/18/11. Recent quarters showed better sales and earnings increases versus the year earlier, but prior quarterly comparisons and annual earnings (A criteria) growth have not been strong and steady so it is fundamentally below guidelines of the fact-based investment system.

Pulling back after a gap up and another new 52 week high on the prior session. Stubbornly held its ground since a previously noted 1/06/11 "breakaway gap". Prior mid-day report noted - "No overhead supply remains to act as resistance. It went through a consolidation below its 50 DMA line in the interim since noted in the 10/08/11 mid-day report - 'Extended from a sound and very bullish base-on-base chart pattern it cleared in recent weeks. Recent quarters show improving sales and earnings increases after negative comparisons in '09. Annual earnings (A criteria) have been up and down and below the guidelines of the fact-based system's guidelines.'"

Small loss on heavy volume today. Since last noted on 12/16/10 it held its ground above its 50 DMA line, continued to new 52-week highs, and cleared its $49.39 all-time high from early 2007. Prior mid-day reports noted - "No overhead supply remains to act as resistance following its 9/20/10 technical breakout which helped it to clear a new base formed since it was noted in the 7/27/10 mid-day report - 'Recent quarterly comparisons show strong earnings increases above the +25% guideline (C criteria) and sales revenues accelerating gradually from +4-14%, below growth guidelines. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been up and down.'"

Most Recent Note for EW - 1/20/2011 1:21:43 PM
Hovering near its 52-week high today following an orderly consolidation since noted on 12/20/10 - "After 11 consecutive gains, extended from its latest base. Found support near its 50 DMA line during an orderly base formed since noted in the 9/24/10 mid-day report following a considerable gap up - 'Endured numerous distribution days since March yet it held up well, and on 5/28/10 its share price was impacted by a 2:1 split . The Medical - Products firm has a slow but steady annual earnings history. Quarterly sales revenues and earnings increases have been below guidelines. With respect to the N criteria, explosive sales revenues increases would be a true indication of great or growing demand for any company's products.'"

Most Recent Note for IIVI - 1/20/2011 1:24:50 PM
Down today from this week's new 52-week and multi-year highs, testing prior resistance in the $48 area. Advancing steadily since the 11/16/10 mid-day report noted -"It faces no resistance due to overhead supply, but its erratic fundamentals are a concern. Recent quarterly comparisons show great sales revenues and earnings increases following a downward turn and streak of many negative comparisons after it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/02/08."

Pulling back after a steady ascent toward its $45 2007. Its circumstances now are somewhat similar, fundamentally, to when it was last noted in the mid-day report at 1:48PM 10/26/2007 that - "Earnings have improved in recent quarters but sales revenue growth history is below the guidelines. Current earnings per share should be up 25% or more and in many cases accelerating in recent quarters. Quarterly sales should also be up 25% or more or accelerating over prior quarters.
