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.

Most Recent Note for AG - 4/15/2011 12:22:20 PM
This Vancouver, BC headquartered firm engaged in silver production in Mexico is extended from any sound base. Prior mid-day reports noted- "It found support above its 50 DMA line in the interim and has spurted higher with more volume-driven gains. On 12/15/10 it was listed on the NYSE. Recent quarterly comparisons showed solid sales and earnings increases but its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been below guidelines."

Most Recent Note for AKRX - 4/15/2011 12:26:51 PM
This low-priced firm in the pharmaceuticals business has hit a new high today, rising from an orderly base. It does not have a strong quarterly and annual earnings history (C and A criteria not satisfied) and fails to match the models of past great winners identified using the fact-based investment system.

Most Recent Note for AME - 4/15/2011 12:32:27 PM
Gapped up today and hit new 52-week and multi-year highs after raising guidance. The 3 most recent quarterly earnings increases were above the +25% guideline, but prior comparisons versus the year ago periods were negative. Based on weak technical action it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 9/04/08, then subsequently slumped from $44 to $24 before rebounding. Downturn in FY '09 earnings (A criteria) makes it fall below guidelines.

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. This goliath firm in the Mining - Metal Ores industry survived but failed to impress since long ago noted in several late-2007 mid-day reports with a cautious tone.

Most Recent Note for BJRI - 4/15/2011 12:41:26 PM
No resistance remains due to overhead supply after a gap up and considerable gain today with heavy volume for new 52-week and all-time highs. Since last noted in the 11/04/10 mid-day report it rallied further and consolidated in an orderly fashion. The restaurant company's quarterly earnings show recent acceleration, but its annual earnings (A criteria) history comes in below the investment system's strict guidelines.

Still perched near its 52-week high today, extended from any sound base pattern. Found support above its 50 DMA line and continued rising since reporting strong earnings for the Dec '10 quarter. 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. Technically its gain on 12/07/10 helped it break out from a cup-with-handle type base pattern with volume nearly 2 times its daily average volume."

Most Recent Note for WYNN - 4/15/2011 1:23:47 PM
Up today for a new 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)."
