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 - Holding its ground today after a considerable gain on heavy volume on 1/22/10. It was featured in yellow in the 1/22/10 mid-day report (read here) when hitting a new 52-week high with its "breakaway gap" following 4-weeks of tight consolidation after reporting accelerating sales and earnings increases for the period ended Dec 31, 2009. The action exemplifies that stocks often have swift reactions to fundamental news, so investors can expect to encounter greater volume and volatility during earnings season. Its annual earnings history (the A criteria) has been very impressive. ISRG has rebounded impressively from its March low ($84.86) and may be on course for its all-time high ($359 in 2007). Notes outlined technical deterioration before and when it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 6/10/08. ISRG traded up more than 13-fold since first featured in yellow in CANSLIM.net reports in the summer of 2004.

Most Recent Note for HSP - 1/25/2010 12:46:03 PM
This high-ranked Medical - Generic Drugs industry firm is near all-time highs and consolidating above its 50 DMA line. That short-term average line provided support since it turned up from its low of $21.21 and rallied sharply in March of 2009. Recent quarters showed sales revenues turning up after a slight downturn, while earnings per share increases have been above the +25% guideline in the 2 most recent comparisons versus the year ago period. It has steady earnings history, but not a very strong annual earnings (A criteria) record.

Most Recent Note for NPK - 1/25/2010 1:02:46 PM
No recent base. It has a strong annual earnings (A criteria) history and the 3 latest quarters showed better than +25% earnings increases, however sales revenues increases have been below guidelines in the 2 latest comparisons and earnings estimates for FY '10 call for only a +6% increase. Its small supply of only 4.8 million shares in the float could contribute to greater price volatility in the event of accumulation/distribution by institutional investors.

Most Recent Note for VSEC - 1/25/2010 1:08:19 PM
Holding its ground after last week's encounter with distributional pressure following a rally to new multi-year highs. Decelerating and negative sales revenues comparisons are a concern, yet it has maintained a strong earnings history (good C and A criteria). Based on fundamental and technical disappointments it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list following appearances in prior years. The high-ranked leader's small supply of only 4.05 million shares in float has contributed in the past to its great volatility.
