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 - Gapped down today violating its 50 DMA line, raising concerns. Color code is changed to green based on weak action, meanwhile the next support level to watch is prior lows in the $38 area. Only a prompt rebound above its short-term average would help its outlook. As previously noted - "Disciplined investors watch for proof of institutional buying demand and avoid the urge to get in 'early'".

Its 50 DMA line defines initial chart support to watch.

Holding its ground after a gap down on 4/12/11, consolidating above prior highs in the $96 area defining support. Great sales and earnings increases in recent quarterly comparisons, however its annual earnings (A criteria) history is marred by a downturn in FY '09.

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.

No overhead supply remains to act as resistance.

It sank as lows as $13.34 from $29.91 when it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 5/01/08."

Most Recent Note for SYT - 4/14/2011 1:16:26 PM
This Switzerland-based giant in the Chemicals - Agricultural industry group reached new all-time highs this week and faces no resistance due to overhead supply. Annual earnings growth (A criteria) was strong in years past, but flattened out from FY '08 through FY '10. Waning ownership interest from top-rated funds (I criteria) is another cause for concern. It is not a good match with the fact-based investment system's models of past great winners.

Still stubbornly holding its ground following a considerable gap up gain for a new all-time on 4/08/11 after an encouraging preliminary report and raised earnings guidance. During its recent rally it stayed well above its 50 DMA line. Noted in prior mid-day reports - "No overhead supply remains to hinder its progress. Sales revenues and earnings increases in recent quarterly comparisons have been strong versus the year ago period, but showed deceleration in its growth rate. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history was marred by a downturn in FY '08."

Most Recent Note for TZOO - 4/14/2011 1:21:07 PM
Gain today has it challenging its 52-week high hit when last noted in the 4/06/11 mid-day report as it negatively reversed for a loss with very heavy volume. It has the look of a "climax run" and has been repeatedly noted as very extended from any sound base pattern. Considerable volume-driven gains helped it rally above prior resistance in the $53 area following a deep "V" shaped consolidation below its 50 DMA line that was noted as not a sound base pattern. Noted in prior mid-day reports - "After a very impressive rally from August '10 lows near $14 and January 2009 low of $3.72 per share. Recent quarterly comparisons show sales and earnings improving but its prior earnings history is below guidelines."
