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

of experts.

G - Previously featured in
this report as yellow and

Volume driven gains above its pivot point may trigger a technical buy signal. Disciplined investors watch for proof of institutional buying demand and avoid the urge to get in "early".

Great sales and earnings increases in recent quarterly comparisons. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history is marred by a downturn in FY '09. This goliath firm in the Mining - Metal Ores industry survived but failed to impress since last noted in the 10/11/07 mid-day report.

Hitting new 52-week highs today and with the prior session's considerable gap up gain on heavy volume.

Hovering above prior highs, holding its ground following a considerable gap up gain with heavy volume for a new all-time high on 4/05/11 news it would buy Procter & Gamble's Pringles. Strong earnings history in recent years, however quarterly earning were reported -24% for the Oct '10 period. Small supply of only 22 million outstanding shares (S criteria) could contribute to greater volatility in the event of any institutional maneuvering.

Most Recent Note for EFII - 4/12/2011 12:24:28 PM
Up today following a considerable "breakaway gap" on the prior session with heavy volume. Quarterly earnings and sales revenues showed great increases in the recent quarterly comparisons, but its prior history has been erratic and its annual earnings (A criteria) history included a loss in FY '09. Fundamentally, earnings have not been strong and steady enough to meet the fact-based investment system guidelines.

Most Recent Note for FCS - 4/12/2011 12:32:20 PM
Its current consolidation may be considered a "double bottom" base being built, during which was an impressive 4/05/11 gap up gain with heavy volume. Recent quarters showed much better earnings increases versus the year earlier, however with decelerating sales revenues growth, +69%, +47%, +25%, and +12% over the Mar, Jun, Sep, Dec '10 periods following a streak of negative comparisons. Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has not been strong and steady, so it is fundamentally below guidelines of the fact-based investment system.

Pulling back today from the new 52-week high hit on the prior session and a 4/06/11 gap up for a considerable volume-driven gain.
