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 - Gain today for another new 52 week high, trading well above its max buy level. Color code is changed to green. On 3/03/10 broke out with 8 times average volume following its latest earnings report for the quarter ended Dec 31, 2009. It rose from a 20-week double bottom base as it was featured in the 3/03/10 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.

Most Recent Note for CTRX - 3/5/2010 2:40:56 PM
Hitting another new high today. Appeared in the 3/04/10 mid-day report after gapping up and rallying quickly to a new all-time high following very strong sales and earnings news reported for the quarter ended Dec 31, 2009. As was the case when 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."

Hit a new 52-week high today while making its 3rd consecutive appearance in the mid-day report following its breakaway gap up on 3/03/10. Erratic earnings and lack of sales revenues growth leave fundamental concerns.

Most Recent Note for KIRK - 3/5/2010 2:05:29 PM
Charging toward its 52-week high with a second consecutive big gains on heavy volume. Fundamentally, the company has shown sub par sales revenues growth and has an up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history that is below the investment system's guidelines. Recent quarters (Jan, Apr, Jul, Oct '09) showed huge earnings increases on mostly flat sales with only modest improvement in the latest quarter.

Most Recent Note for LPSN - 3/5/2010 2:11:54 PM
Today marks its 9th consecutive gain and another new 52-week high. As noted in recent mid-day report appearances, the high-ranked firm in the Internet Software group has seen sales revenues increases accelerating in recent quarterly comparisons and earnings per share have been increasing at well above the +25% guideline. However, its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been erratic, including a decrease in FY '08 earnings versus the year earlier.

Most Recent Note for PAY - 3/5/2010 2:24:38 PM
Rallied to a new 52-week high today with its 5th consecutive gain. Recent quarters showed better earnings and sales increasing after a streak of negative comparisons. Based on disappointing fundamental news and very weak technical action it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 12/3/2007. It gapped down for a considerable loss after the company said it would restate its earnings for the past three quarters, with the added warning that revelations of deeper problems may follow.

Most Recent Note for PRGO - 3/5/2010 2:35:55 PM
Encountering some distributional pressure this week. After steadily marching into all-time high territory it is extended far from any sound base. Prior mid-day reports in early February noted that no overhead supply was there to act as resistance. The high-ranked Medical - Generic Drugs firm's sales revenues increases in quarterly comparisons have not been especially strong and steady, yet it has produced better than +25% earnings increase in 5 of the past 8 comparisons and showed very strong earnings increases in the Sept and Dec '09 quarters, +61% and +56%, respectively. It has a good annual earnings (A criteria) history.

Holding its ground since 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.
