More details about this report...
At around

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.

Most Recent Note for ALU - 4/13/2011 12:12:26 PM
Gapped up today following a positive reversal on the prior session, and now challenging its 52-week high. Held its ground and made additional progress since its 2/10/11 breakaway gap. Last noted after another gap up in the 3/28/11 mid-day report - "Recent quarters showed 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."

Gapped up today, challenging its 52-week high after a brief consolidation above prior resistance in the $132.00 area. Held its ground above earlier chart highs while consolidating since noted in the 2/11/11 mid-day report when clearly breaking out following an orderly consolidation in a tight trading range -"Rallying above the August 2008 high near $124. The drastic downturn in FY '09 earnings remains a flaw with respect to the A criteria of the fact-based investment system." Noted in prior mid-day reports - "Its latest quarterly comparisons showed improving sales and earnings but its prior earnings history is below guidelines of the fact-based investment system. Based on weak technical action it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list 11/8/07 and subsequently fell from $136 to as low as $14.50 in March '09 before rebounding. Traded up +43% after it was featured in the 8/26/07 Special Report titled 'Stocks That Should Now Be On Your Watch List' with annotated graphs and commentary including our detailed CANSLIM.net Profile, What To Look For And What To Look Out For, and Technical Analysis summaries (read here)."
