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 - Rising again today, its color code is changed to green while getting extended from its prior base. 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.

G - Hit another new all-time high today and traded above its "max buy" level, and its color code is changed to green. Considerable volume-driven gains above its pivot point triggered a new (or add-on) technical buy signal this week while breaking out above prior resistance following a noted new base-on-base pattern. Its board of directors approved a 2-for-1 stock split (pending). Traded up at least +87% from when first featured less than 6 months earlier in the 10/08/10 mid-day report (read here) and in that evening's Featured Stock Update section with an annotated graph (read here).

Y - Still surging higher after a gap up today, hitting new all-time highs. It is on track for a 6th consecutive gain and rallying above its pivot point after an orderly 7-week flat base. Market conditions (M criteria) have recognizably improved in terms of leadership (new 52-week highs) in recent weeks without a strictly defined follow-through day.

Y - Its gain on the prior session with above average volume could be considered a technical buy signal. However, the churning above average volume at its 52-week high this week while not making meaningful price progress suggests that it has been enduring distributional pressure since rising clear of all resistance due to overhead supply.

Gapped up today for a new 52-week high. Last noted in the 2/23/11 mid-day report - "Reported earnings +13% on +14% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 versus the year ago period. It found support above its 50 DMA line when consolidating, then continued rising since noted in the 12/14/10 mid-day report - 'It has rebounded impressively after its subsequent trip below its long-term 200 DMA line. Sales revenues increases have been in the +10-20% range while earnings increases were above the +25% guideline in the past 5 quarterly comparisons through September 30, 2010. That followed a streak of negative comparisons. Its annual earnings (A criteria) have been up and down, leaving concerns.'"

Small gap up today, perched near its all-time high. Prior mid-day reports noted when challenging its high - "Following a brief consolidation above prior highs and its 50 DMA line defining support. No overhead supply remains to act as resistance, but the downturn in its FY '09 earnings is a flaw with respect to the A criteria. It completed a Public Offering on 12/09/10 and found support near its 50 DMA line since the 11/30/10 mid-day report noted - 'Recent quarterly comparisons show improving sales and earnings after negative comparisons.'"

Hitting a new 52-week high today. Found support above its 50 DMA line and continued rising since reporting strong earnings for the Dec '10 quarter. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Reported earnings in the Jun and Sep '10 quarters versus year ago losses, meanwhile its prior earnings history (bad A criteria) has been poor. Technically its gain on 12/07/10 helped it break out from a cup-with-handle type base pattern with volume nearly 2 times its daily average volume."

This Internet Advertising services firm is perched near its 52 week high. It was noted in the 3/28/11 mid-day report when spiking up to a 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."
