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.

Spiked higher today with above average volume behind its gain while challenging its 52-week high and approaching its pivot point.

Rebounded above its 50 DMA last week and today it is on track for a 6th consecutive gain. Found support at its 200 DMA line during its choppy consolidation since last noted in the 11/04/11 mid-day report near its all-time high - "Reported earnings +5% on +38% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period, below the +25% earnings guideline."

Most Recent Note for ASPS - 1/23/2012 11:48:40 AM
Big gain today with above average volume, technically breaking out of the previously noted orderly base pattern above its 50 DMA line. Prior mid-day reports noted - " 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."

This Bank holding company with operations in the Northeast has shown strong sales revenues and earnings increases in recent quarterly comparisons, however its annual earnings (A criteria) history has not been strong and steady. It recently wedged to new 52-week and multi-year highs without great volume conviction behind its gains.

Reversed into the red after today's early gain touching yet another new 52-week high. Reported earnings -17% on +29% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Noted in the 7/29/11 mid-day report - "Churning heavy volume this week while challenging multi-year highs. Earnings history has been erratic. Showing solid quarterly sales revenues increases. Ownership by top rated funds fell from 746 in Sep '10 to 579 in June '11. There are fundamental concerns due to pre-tax, non-recurring items included in the past 8 quarterly reports. This is indicated by blue triangles in the earnings per share box on the chart service used by CANSLIM.net experts."

Hitting yet another new high today with its 5th consecutive gain. It hails from the Electronics - Semiconductor Manufacturing group which has recently shown better leadership (L criteria). Prior mid-day reports cautiously noted - "Its 11/16/11 IPO was priced at $8 per share, and the firm's limited history is a concern. "

Completed a new Public Offering on 1/20/12. Recent quarterly comparisons showed greatly improved sales revenues and earnings increases versus low numbers and year ago losses. It does not have a strong annual earnings (A criteria) history, and low-priced stocks are discouraged from consideration unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied.

Pulling back today, consolidating above prior highs in the $27 area following a previously noted streak of 5 small 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."

Most Recent Note for PNRA - 1/23/2012 12:11:46 PM
Pulling back with higher volume today after wedging upward last week without great volume conviction behind its gains while hitting new 52-week and all-time highs. The 1/17/12 mid-day report noted - "Reported earnings +29% on +22% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has shown steady growth since a small dip in FY '07 earnings. Sales revenues increases showed modest acceleration over the Mar, Jun, and Sep quarterly comparisons versus the year-ago period and earnings increases have been above the +25% guideline with respect to the C criteria. The stock is heavily owned (percentage-wise) by funds relative to its management's small 5% reported ownership. Top-rated funds owning an interest decreased from 482 in Mar '11 to 460 in Dec '11, which is not good news concerning the I criteria."
