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 - Trading up today after early weakness following a worrisome negative reversal on the prior session. Color code is changed to yellow after the pullback near its "max buy" level. Prior highs in the $32 area define support to watch above its 50 DMA line. Approximately 40% of successful winners pull back and test support at their prior resistance level before continuing higher. Disciplined investors always limit losses if a stock falls more than -7% from their purchase price.

Y - Touched a new 52-week high today. It is clear of all resistance due to overhead supply. A convincing gain and close above its pivot point with at least the minimum above average volume may trigger a proper technical buy signal. The M criteria remains a concern for disciplined investors, but stronger leadership (stocks hitting new 52 week highs) has recently been a reassuring sign.

Hitting a new all-time today, positively reversing after early weakness. Recently closed a Convertible Senior Notes Offering.

Hovering near its 50 DMA line today after having violated that important short-term average while consolidating since noted in the 3/08/11 mid-day report -"It recently rallied well above its 2008 high ($33.60) after clearing it.

Challenging its 52-week high today after a gain on above average volume prompted mention in the 3/28/11 Market Commentary (read here). It was last noted in the 2/08/11 mid-day report noted - "Recent quarters showed much better sales and earnings increases versus the year earlier. Prior quarterly comparisons and annual earnings (A criteria) growth have not been strong and steady, so it is fundamentally below guidelines of the fact-based investment system."

This Internet Advertising services firm is pulling back today from its new 52 week high hit on the prior session. Noted in the 3/28/11 mid-day report when hitting the new high - "With a 4th consecutive volume-driven gain after a 15-week cup shaped pattern where it found support above its 200 DMA line. Recent quarterly comparisons showed strong sales revenues increases and its quarterly earnings have improved meaningfully. It has a limited annual earnings (A criteria) history, yet fundamentals have been indicative of increasing demand for its products or services. Low-priced stocks are discouraged from consideration under the fact-base system guidelines."

Making a 3rd consecutive mid-day report appearance today, perched near its 52-week high after an orderly base above its 50 DMA line.

Recent quarterly comparisons show better sales and earnings, but large losses in FY '08 and '09 are a flaw concerning the A criteria."

Positively reversed after a gap down today and loss on heavy volume on the prior session.
