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 - Today BIDU gapped up for a considerable gain after reporting great results for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, with impressive acceleration in sales revenues (+60%) and earnings (+144%). A streak of 12 consecutive weekly gains had it extended from a sound base. Repeatedly noted - "could produce more climactic gains, especially due to the small supply (S criteria) of shares outstanding."

Most Recent Note for BOFI - 4/29/2010 11:59:56 AM
Considerable gain today helped it touch another new all-time high, while already extended from any sound base. On 3/30/10 the company priced a Public Offering of 1.1 million shares. As previously noted, "small supply (S criteria) of only 4.42 million shares in the float could contribute to greater volatility. The Finance - Savings & Loan industry group's low Relative Strength rank raises concerns with respect to the L criteria."

Considerable gap up gain today for a new all-time high after it reported earnings -61% while sales revenues accelerated +15% in the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Erratic annual earnings (A criteria) is another fundamental concern.

Most Recent Note for CPLA - 4/29/2010 12:14:11 PM
Falling today amid widespread weakness in for-profit schools. It has a very good earnings history that satisfies the C & A criteria. It rebounded and went on rallying since it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 9/14/09, but its Relative Strength rank may have been lagging under the 80+ level and keeping it off the radar recently. It has a small supply of only 13.9 million shares in the float which could contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional accumulation or distribution. The number of top-rated funds owning an interest fell from 137 in June '09, to 111 as of March '10.

Hit another new 52-week high today, rising further since its considerable gap up gain on 4/27/10. Technically it broke out from an orderly base on 3/30/10, and now it is extended from a sound base. Sales and earnings showed great increases in the 2 latest quarters after several negative comparisons versus the year ago period.

Gapped up today for a new 52 week high following a brief pause after a recent streak of 9 consecutive gains. This Financial Services - Misc firm was noted in the recent mid-day reports -"rallying with heavy volume near its 52-week high and it has cleared a long flat base, leaving no overhead supply to act as resistance. Annual earnings (A criteria) history showed an ugly turn downward since FY '05 only improving in FY '09. Quarterly and annual results include blue triangles on the service our experts use beside the figures - symbols indicating that pre-tax, non-recurring items were included (where possible, such items are normally removed to provide data better suited for comparison)."

Gains this week with heavy volume helped it hit new a 52-week high. Its annual earnings history (A criteria) is marred by a terrible downturn in FY '09. The latest quarter ended March 31, 2010 showed strong increases in sales and earnings after negative coparisons in the prior 5 quarters. Since November 2009 its weekly chart is marked by more up weeks on heavy volume than down weeks on volume.

Rising from a brief and orderly consolidation above is 50 DMA line with heavy volume behind its considerable gain today for a new all-time high after reporting earnings +52% on +6% better sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 versus the year-ago period. Last noted in the mid-day report on 3/23/10 when gapping up on news - "buying infant formula maker PBM Holdings Inc. for $808 million in cash. Technically it has risen from a '3-weeks tight' type pattern with its breakaway gap. Prior mid-day reports in early February noted that no overhead supply was there to act as resistance. The high-ranked Medical - Generic Drugs firm's sales revenues increases in the past 4 quarterly comparisons have been up in the +5% to +16% range, not especially strong and steady, and below the +25% guideline. It produced very strong earnings increases in the Sept and Dec '09 quarters, +61% and +56%, respectively. It also has a good annual earnings (A criteria) history."

Gapped up today after a considerable gain on 4/28/10 helped it rally up from its 50 DMA line on news of a small acquisition. It has made steady upward progress since noted in early January 2010 after rallying straight up from the bottom of a 7-week base. Recent quarterly comparisons versus the year ago period have shown strong sales revenues growth and impressive earnings increases (C criteria), however its up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history remains a concern.
