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

of experts.

G - Previously featured in
this report as yellow and

Y - Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 8/01/23 high plus 10 cents. Pulled back from its early high after hitting a new 52-week high with today's gap up and volume-driven gain. A gain and strong close above the pivot point may clinch a convincing technical buy signal. Reported earnings for the Dec '23 quarter +108% on +16% sales revenues versus the year-ago period. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. Prior quarterly and annual earnings history is a good match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines.

Today's big "breakaway gap" has it hitting yet another new all-time high. Mar, Jun, Sep, and Dec '23 quarterly earnings increases were below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) versus the year ago periods and sales revenues have been waning, so fundamental concerns remain. It was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 11/03/23.
