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

G - Previously featured in
this report as yellow and

G - Holding its ground today after gapping down on the prior session violating its 50 DMA line ($1,080) and undercutting the prior low ($999 on 1/13/25) with a volume-driven loss triggering a technical sell signal. Color code is changed to green, and a rebound above the 50 DMA line is needed for its outlook to improve. It abruptly retreated from its all-time high after reporting Dec '24 quarterly earnings +18% on +21% sales revenues versus the year-ago period. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news.

Most Recent Note for AAPL - 1/31/2025 12:19:29 PM
Rebounding above its 50 DMA line. Quarterly comparisons through Dec '24 have been well below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) of the fact-based investment system. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 4,946 in Jun '19 to 7,850 in Dec '24. Companies currently on the Featured Stocks list are ideal candidates fitting the fact-based investment system's guidelines before becoming heavily owned by the institutional crowd."

Testing support at its 50 DMA line ($104) with today's volume-driven loss while retreating from its all-time high. Reported strong Aug and Nov '24 quarterly results versus the year ago periods.
