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

Y - Gapped up today. On the prior session it also gapped up and traded above its pivot point, then negatively reversed for a loss with slightly above average volume, closing near the session low and raising concerns. Support to watch is at its 50 DMA line. The recent chart low defines an important support level to watch.

Y - Spiked to another new high with today's gain on above average volume lifting it back above its pivot point. No overhead supply, technically, and its weekly chart is marked by many up weeks with above average volume and few down weeks on volume -very bullish characteristics. This high-ranked Medical-Dental - Services firm was featured in yellow in the 2/12/10 mid-day report (read here).

Most Recent Note - 3/4/2010 1:03:55 PM
Y - Hit a new 52 week high today, trading near its max buy level. On 3/03/10 it spiked higher with 8 times average volume following its latest earnings report for the quarter ended Dec 31, 2009, rising from a 20-week double bottom base. It was featured in the mid-day report (read here) color coded yellow with pivot point cited based on its 11/18/09 high. This China-based insurance broker has shown strong earnings and sales growth above the +25% guideline but generally decelerating over the course of recent years. The lack of leadership in the Insurance-Brokers industry group also remains a concern with respect to the investment system's L criteria.

Gapped up today and continued rallying quickly to new all-time high following very strong sales and earnings news reported for the quarter ended Dec 31, 2009. As was the case when last noted on 11/05/09, "No overhead supply exists to act as resistance. Its ranks are high, but its up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history is a concern."

Holding its ground today after a considerable gap up on 3/03/10. The quarter ended Dec 31, 2009 showed improving sales and earnings, following a streak of negative or near flat comparisons. Low priced stocks are riskier candidates that require extra caution and discipline. Per the investment system rules they should be avoided, especially when known fundamental shortcomings exist.
