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 - Hit a new 52-week high with volume running at an above average pace behind today's 4th consecutive gain. In Friday's mid-day report it was featured in yellow with a pivot point cited based on its 52-week high plus 10 cents. A strong finish may clinch a technical buy signal. Quarterly earnings in ceases have been strong through Sep '11. Limited trading history is a concern, yet it has built a sound base pattern since last noted 11/11/11 shortly after its 10/14/11 IPO at $15.

Reported earnings +116% on +73% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 versus the year ago period.

Found support near its 50 DMA line last week and now perched -5.1% off its 52-week high. Earnings increases have been above the +25% guideline in the past 6 quarterly comparisons versus the year earlier, but during that span its sales revenues were in the negative -1-3% range. Annual earnings (A criteria) history is also below the investment system's guidelines.

Most Recent Note for AUY - 1/30/2012 12:07:40 PM
Holding its ground near its 52-week high. A spurt of volume-driven gains helped it clear an 8-week base during which it found support at its 200 DMA line. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Quarterly sales revenues and earnings increases in the 5 latest comparisons through Sep 30, 2011 were well above the +25% guideline satisfying the C criteria. The downturn in FY '09 earnings is a fundamental flaw concerning the A criteria. With respect to the I criteria, the number of top rated funds owning its shares rose from 799 in Jun '11 to 913 in Dec '11. It survived but failed to impress since 4/23/2008 when it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list and subsequently fell from $13 to $3 over the next 6 months. First it had traded up as much as +25.4% after it was first featured at $15.89 in the February 2008 CANSLIM.net News (read here)."

Still perched near its 52-week high and multi-year highs today following a considerable gap up gain on 1/25/12. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Sales and earnings growth in quarterly comparisons has been short of the investment system's guidelines, while its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been good."

Found support near prior resistance in the $46 area then rallied to new all-time highs and it has been holding its ground. Prior mid-day reports noted - "The Colombian Oil and Gas - Integrated firm reported a +128% earnings increase for the latest quarter ended September 30, 2011 on +56% sales revenues versus the year earlier period. Prior quarterly comparisons have shown great improvement, however a downturn in FY '09 earnings was previously noted as a flaw in its earnings history (A criteria) since public trading began in September 2008."

Most Recent Note for GRA - 1/30/2012 12:13:32 PM
Inched to new 52-week highs last week while continuing a steady streak of small gains. Went through a deep consolidation below its 50 & 200 DMA lines since noted in the mid-day report on 7/28/11 following a gap up gain with heavy volume for a new 52-week high. Quarterly comparisons through Sep '11 showed strong and accelerating sales revenues growth and earnings increases satisfying the C criteria. A downturn in FY '09 is a flaw that makes its annual earnings (A criteria) history fall short of the investment system's guidelines.

Perched near its 52-week high today but wider than usual intra-day swings in the past week indicate uncertainty. 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. "

Most Recent Note for JAZZ - 1/30/2012 12:23:07 PM
Reversed into the red after an early gain today for another new all-time high. Stayed in a tight trading range for the past few week. Multiple gains with above average volume without making meaningful price progress indicate that it has been recently encountering some distributional pressure. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Prior resistance in the $46-47 area may now act as a support level. Poor technical action prompted it to be dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/03/11, and it subsequently found support near its 200 DMA line during its deep consolidation. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history is limited, however quarterly comparisons have shown strong sales revenues and earnings (good C criteria) increases and its FY '10 earnings followed losses in prior years."

Hit a new 52-week high today with a 5th consecutive gain. Prior mid-day reports noted - "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."
