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.

this report as yellow and

G - This Computer Software - Medical firm is rallying above its "max buy" level with today's 5th consecutive volume-driven gain and its color code is changed to green. No overhead supply remains to act as resistance. It surged above the pivot point cited in the 4/27/12 mid-day breakouts report (read here) based on its 3/26/12 high plus 10 cents. Its quarterly sales revenues and earnings per share track record and its annual earnings history (C and A criteria) satisfy the investment system's fundamental guidelines. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 885 in Jun '11 to 997 in Mar '12, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It is already heavily owned by the institutional crowd.

G - Color code was changed to green after getting extended from its prior base with consecutive volume-driven gains. EXPE was highlighted in yellow in the 4/27/12 mid-day breakouts report (read here) when its considerable "breakaway gap" up above the pivot point cited based on its 3/26/12 high plus 10 cents. Reported earnings +63% on +12% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Quarterly earnings have been above the +25% minimum guideline in 3 of the past 4 comparisons and its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been good.

G - Reported earnings +24% on +21% sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. After a weak start it has fallen precipitously, violating its 50 DMA line and slicing below recent lows triggering technical sell signals. Color code is changed to green based on its damaging technical action while it is now testing near its 200 DMA line. Did not trigger a recent buy signal, so disciplined investors avoided any setback.

Y - Hovering near its 52-week high today, pausing after 5 consecutive gains on ever-increasing volume. The recent orderly consolidation in a tight range was longer than a "3-weeks tight" base pattern and RNF was highlighted in yellow in the 4/27/12 mid-day breakouts report (read here) when rallying above the pivot point cited based on its 4/12/12 high plus 10 cents. It has sufficient ranks and showed strong earnings increases satisfying the C criteria. Its 11/04/11 IPO was priced at $20, and its limited history is a concern.

Hitting new 52-week highs with recent volume-driven gains including one today. It may be an interesting turnaround story, but a loss for FY '11 is a flaw with respect to the A criteria which calls for a strong 3-5 year span of solid earnings growth.

Hovering near its 52-week high today after volume-driven gains clearing orderly base-on-base patterns. Reported earnings -2% on +7% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Prior mid-day reports repeatedly noted - "Earnings and sales growth history is below the guidelines of the fact-based investment system, still. It survived but failed to impress since noted in October 2007 mid-day reports after a huge gap up on news if had interested buyers including Carl Icahn."

This low-priced stock is perched at its 52-week high today.

Holding its ground following a considerable gap up gain on 4/24/12 for new 52-week and all-time highs, clear of all overhead supply. Reported strong sales revenues and earnings increases in the Mar '12 quarterly comparison versus the year ago period. Fundamentals have improved while it went through a deep consolidation below its 200 DMA line since noted in the 7/19/11 mid-day report when it was encountering stubborn resistance near its then all-time high ($51.57 in 2007) - "Recent quarters showed improved sales and earnings but prior history has been below guidelines."

This Computer- Data Storage firm is hitting another new 52 week high today, adding to a recent spurt of volume-driven gains with no resistance remaining due to overhead supply. The 2 latest quarters through Mar '12 showed improved sales revenues and earnings increases after negative results and dismal comparisons versus the year-ago period.

Reported earnings +114% on +33% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Holding its ground today, this low-priced stock hit a new 52-week high with a considerable gap up gain on 4/30/12 backed by above average volume. The fact-based investment system discourages low-priced stocks from consideration as buy candidates unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history included a downturn and loss in FY '10. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Earnings history is not a match with the investment system's guidelines."

Its annual earnings (A criteria) growth rate has been improving since a downturn in FY '08."
