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 - Previously featured in
this report as yellow and

Y - Color code is changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 2/28/18 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent gains above the pivot point with more than+40% above average volume may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Very little resistance remains due to overhead supply up to the $569 level. Recent lows ($480) define important support where damaging losses may trigger a worrisome technical sell signal.

Most Recent Note for NFLX - 4/13/2018 12:50:00 PM
Recently found prompt support near its 50 DMA line ($293) while possibly forming a new "late stage" base. Due to post its first-quarter 2018 financial results before the open on Monday, April 16, 2018. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. Reported earnings +173% on +33% sales revenues for the Dec '17 quarter, its 6th consecutive strong quarter. Return on Equity is now reported at 18%, above the 17% minimum guideline of the fact-based investment system. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares (I criteria) rose from 1,534 in Mar '17 to 1,743 in Mar '18. This well-known online movie services firm's erratic annual earnings history is not a great match with A criteria of the fact-based investment system. Rebounded impressively following a deep consolidation after dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 3/03/11.
