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
by our staff
of experts.

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

Most Recent Note - 1/28/2025 12:48:51 PM
Y - Hitting yet another new all-time high with today's volume-driven gain adding to a noted spurt higher. Due to report Dec '24 quarterly results on 1/29/25. Keep in mind that volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. Color code was changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 12/04/24 high plus 10 cents after a short flat base. Found prompt support after briefly undercutting its 50 DMA line ($1,079). A gain and strong close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may clinch a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Fundamentals remain strong after it reported Sep '24 quarterly earnings +27% on +22% sales revenues versus the year-ago period. It was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 4/19/24.

Most Recent Note for CRM - 1/28/2025 12:18:03 PM
Today's 2nd big volume-driven gain has it rebounding further above its 50 DMA line ($337) to challenge its all-time high. Found support while consolidating near its March '24 high since noted in the 12/05/24 mid-day report with caution - "Reported Oct '24 quarterly earnings +14% on +8% sales revenues versus the year ago period, its 2nd subpar quarter after a streak of 5 strong quarterly comparisons above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Went through a long and deep consolidation from its high in 2021. Large supply of 956 million shares outstanding (S criteria) makes it an unlikely sprinter, and it is already owned by more than 4,972 top-rated funds (I criteria). A slight downturn in its FY '22 annual earnings (A criteria) history has been followed with very strong growth."

Powering above its 50 DMA line ($110) and challenging its 52-week high with today's considerable volume-driven gain, rising from a "double bottom" base formed while consolidating since a noted "breakaway gap" on 11/12/24.

Most Recent Note for TSM - 1/28/2025 1:05:50 PM
Rebounding near its 50 DMA line ($200) today after a damaging gap down and volume-driven loss on the prior session as it abruptly retreated from its all-time high. Reported Dec '24 quarterly earnings +47% on +30% sales revenues versus the year ago period, its 3rd strong quarter above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history had a downturn in FY '23, breaking a streak of strong and steady growth. Large supply of 5.18 billion outstanding shares (S criteria) makes it an unlikely sprinter.
