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

G - Color code was changed to green after rallying well above its "max buy" level and hitting a new all-time high with today's 3rd consecutive volume-driven gain. Highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 3/03/20 high plus 10 cents in the 4/13/20 mid-day report. Big gain and close above the pivot point was backed by +56% above average volume triggering a technical buy signal. Due to report earnings news on 4/21/20. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and an annotated graph.

Rebounded to challenge its 52-week high. Bullish action has followed a gap up and big volume-driven gain on 3/30/20 following approval of a rapid coronavirus test. Due to report earnings news tomorrow. Reported earnings +17% on +7% sales revenues for the Dec '19 quarter versus the year ago period. Prior quarterly comparisons versus the year ago periods were below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria).

Hitting another new all time high with today's gain following 2 consecutive big gains. Prior mid-day reports cautioned members - "Reported earnings +7% on +21% sales revenues for the Dec '19 quarter, it 3rd quarterly comparison below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), not a match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines."

After an abrupt pullback it rebounded near its 52-week high and has been consolidating. Prior mid-day reports cautioned members - "Prior quarterly sales revenues and earnings growth has not been strong and steady. Annual earnings (A criteria) history also has been up and down."

Most Recent Note for DRD - 4/15/2020 12:22:57 PM
Consolidating after spiking to a new 52-week high with a big volume-driven gain on 4/13/20. 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. Fundamental concerns remain as when noted with caution in the 2/07/13 mid-day report - "This low-priced South African company in the Mining - Gold/Silver/Gems group has an erratic earnings history, not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines."

Most Recent Note for JD - 4/15/2020 12:24:59 PM
Found prompt support near its 200 DMA line ($34.48) in recent weeks and it is hitting a new 52-week high with today's 4th consecutive gain. Faces some resistance due to old overhead supply up to the $50 level. This Chinese retailer reported earnings +14% on +22% sales revenues for the Dec '19 quarter, breaking a streak of much stronger increases in the 4 prior quarterly comparisons versus the year ago periods. Up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history is not a match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines.

Hit a new 52-week high on the prior session and it is encountering distributional pressure. The 3 latest quarters through Dec '19 showed accelerating sales revenues and earnings increases. Prior mid-day reports cautioned members - "Quarterly and annual earnings (C and A criteria) history is not a match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines."

Reported strong earnings increases in the Sep and Dec '19 quarters versus the year ago periods. Erratic sales revenues growth is a concern. With respect to the C and A criteria, its prior earnings history has been erratic and below the fact-based system's fundamental guidelines.

Most Recent Note for ZM - 4/15/2020 12:33:59 PM
Rebounding toward its all-time high after finding prompt support at its 50 DMA line last week following an abrupt retreat. Very extended from any sound base. Completed its $36.00 IPO on 4/18/19. Limited annual history (A criteria) is a concern. Reported earnings +275% on +78% sales revenues for the Jan '20 quarter. Prior quarterly comparisons also showed very strong sales revenues and great earnings increases versus the year ago periods.
