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

of experts.

G - Previously featured in
this report as yellow and

Y - Hovering near its 52-week high today, holding its ground above prior chart highs after a considerable gain on 2/22/10 with twice average volume triggered a technical buy signal. Featured in yellow in the 2/19/10 mid-day report (read here). This previously featured Finance - Consumer/Commercial Loans firm was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/09/08, yet it continued to show solid growth (solid fundamentals). Earnings per share increases have shown acceleration along with greater than +25% sales revenues increases in the latest quarterly comparisons (good C criteria) versus the year earlier, and a great annual earnings history (good A criteria).

Hit a new 52-week high today, and it stubbornly has held its ground above prior chart highs since noted in the mid-day report on 2/17/10 when rising from an orderly base. Annual earnings (A criteria) have been up and down and sales revenues have not shown growth.

Most Recent Note for BOFI - 2/24/2010 12:32:50 PM
Perched at its 52-week high after tallying numerous gains with heavy volume in the past few weeks, extended from its prior base in the $10 area. This Finance - Savings & Loan firm repeatedly found support near its 50 DMA line. A small supply (S criteria) of only 4.42 million shares in the float could contribute to greater volatility. The Finance - Savings & Loan industry group's low Relative Strength rank raises concerns with respect to the L criteria, and the negative M is an overriding concern right now as well.

Most Recent Note for CREE - 2/24/2010 12:36:53 PM
Consolidating above prior chart highs today. A recent streak of 9 consecutive gains with a lot of above average volume helped it rally to new multi-year highs, but it has not formed a sound base lately. Fundamentally, its recent quarters including the period ended Dec 31, 2009 showed accelerating sales revenues increases and much improved earnings. Its annual earnings (A criteria) have also grown impressively since its downturn in FY '07.

Hovering at its 52-week high, today marks its 3rd consecutive mid-day report appearance since rising from a choppy base. Fundamentally, annual earnings (A criteria) history has been poor, far below guidelines of the investment system.

Gapped up today and hit a new 52-week high, getting more extended from any sound base. This Internet - ISP firm is one of Israel's top three providers of broadband services and long-distance telephony. As noted in prior mid-day reports, "its earnings and sales history are below guidelines. Although recent quarterly comparisons showed much improved earnings, sales revenues have contracted. On 6/21/07 this stock was removed from the Featured Stocks list."

As noted in its 2/19/10 mid-day report appearance, "The latest quarter ended Dec 31, 2009 showed great improvement in sales and earnings, but prior quarterly comparisons were negative. Its technical action could be described as 'wedging' to new highs, meanwhile its sub par fundamentals are below the investment system guidelines. On 2/28/08 it was dropped from the CANSLIM.net Featured Stocks list and fundamentals subsequently turned south."

Trading up for a 9th consecutive gain today following a gap up on 2/23/10 for a new 52 week high with a considerable gain on heavy volume. Latest quarter ended Jan 31, 2010 showed better sales and earnings results, however, prior quarterly and annual earnings growth has been below guidelines and unimpressive.

Most Recent Note for NPK - 2/24/2010 12:59:40 PM
Hit a new 52-week high today with its 11th consecutive gain, extended from any sound base after steadily rising from its last test of support at its 50 DMA line. 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.

Hitting another new 52-week high today with its 5th gain on above average volume in the past 7 session, getting extended from its prior base.

On the right side of a near 7-week cup shaped base, nearly challenging its 52-week high with this week's earlier gain. Sales and earnings showed improvement in the latest quarter, but its prior comparisons and annual earnings (A criteria) history are below the investment system's guidelines.
