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.

G - Previously featured in
this report as yellow and

Y - Gapped up and hit new all-time highs on he prior session after reporting earnings +32% on +26% sales revenues for the Dec '16 quarter. Disciplined investors avoid chasing stocks more than +5% above the pivot point. INGN was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 2/21/17 high in the 2 prior mid-day reports (read here) and noted -"Perched near all-time highs after a saucer-with-handle base. Subsequent volume-driven gains for new highs coupled with strong earnings may clinch a technical buy signal. Reported earnings +23% on +33% sales revenues for the Sep '16 quarter, slightly below the +25% minimum guideline. Due to report Dec '16 earnings news on 2/28/17, and volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. Rebounded and made gradual progress since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/27/16." See the latest FSU analysis for more details and an annotated graph.
