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
candidates
highlighted
by our staff
of experts.

G - Previously featured in
this report as yellow and

Y - Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 3/03/20 high plus 10 cents. A gain and close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. Hitting a new 52-week high with today's big gain, and very little resistance remains due to overhead supply up to the $423 level. Due to report earnings news on 4/21/20. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. Reported earnings +333% on +31% sales revenues for the Dec '19 quarter, its 2nd consecutive very strong quarter. Rebounded above its 200 DMA line ($323) and above its 50 DMA line ($362.90) following an abrupt slump. Went through a choppy consolidation since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 7/30/18.

Rallying to a new 52-week high with today's big volume-driven gain. Found prompt support near its 200 DMA line in recent weeks. Recent quarterly comparisons through Dec '19 showed greatly improved sales revenues and strong earnings increases versus year ago losses.

Powering to a new 52-week high and above its 2016 high with another big volume-driven gain today. Rebounded impressively after an abrupt retreat from its 2/24/20 high. Prior mid-day reports noted - "The Jun, Sep, and Dec '19 quarterly comparisons showed greatly accelerating sales revenues and earnings growth above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history is a flaw. It was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 3/14/12."
