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 - Holding its ground today following a gap up on the prior session. Color code was changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on the 52-week high plus 10 cents. Its finish near the prior session low indicated that it encountered resistance, and it still needs a strong finish above the pivot point cited to clinch a proper technical buy signal. Reported earnings +79% on +38% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Y - Pulling back today near its "max buy" level following 3 consecutive volume-driven gains into new high territory. The 5/03/12 mid-day report noted - "Volume-driven gains this week have it rallying from a tight consolidation and "square box" base above its 50 DMA line. Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point based on its 4/03/12 high plus 10 cents. Hit a new 52-week high today with a gap up and considerable volume-driven gain, quickly getting extended from an ideal buy range. Technically, on 2/09/11 it broke out from a 15-week cup shaped base without a handle. The 4 latest quarterly comparisons showed earnings increases satisfying the C criteria and it has a good annual earnings (A criteria) history."

It dipped below its 50 DMA line with today's 2nd consecutive loss with above average volume, trading to its lowest level since its 4/13/12 gain backed by +49% above average volume technically confirmed a buy signal."

Y - Holding its ground today after highlighted in yellow in the 5/03/12 mid-day report while breaking out above the pivot point based on its 52-week high plus 10 cents. Its considerable "breakaway gap" for a new 52-week high was backed by 5 times average volume as it cleared an orderly flat base pattern. The is no resistance remaining due to overhead supply. Reported earnings +25% on +14% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Quarterly comparisons have shown strong earnings increases above the +25% guideline. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been improving since a downturn in FY '08.

Rebounded above its 50 DMA line with 2 consecutive volume-driven gains following news it will acquire Charming Shoppes Inc (CHSI). Reported earnings +42% on +15% sales revenues for the quarter ended January 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. The 3 prior quarterly comparisons were clearly below the minimum +25% earnings guideline, missing the C criteria. Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been up and down, not steady and strong.

Still hovering at its 52-week and all-time highs today, holding its ground in a tight trading range above its 50 DMA line. Completed a new Public Offering on 12/07/11. There are 8.79 million shares reportedly in the publicly traded float now. Quarterly and annual earnings history are not a match with the C & A criteria but it has earned high ranks.

Consolidating near its 50 DMA line and perched near its 52-week and multi-year highs. Quarterly and annual earnings have been erratic while it survived but failed to impress since last noted in the 12/02/10 mid-day report - "Average daily volume has picked up from near 22,000 shares when last noted to near 42,000 shares per day now. Earnings increases have been mostly strong in recent quarterly comparisons and annual earnings have been on the rise since it tallied a loss in FY '06. Quarterly sales revenues in the $9-13 million range are rather minuscule, yet this Aerospace/Defense firm showed a solid +31% sales revenues increase and +40% earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 versus the year ago period."

Rallied to a new all-time high after finding support at its 50 DMA line last week. It is extended from any sound base pattern. Reported earnings +64% on +61% sales revenues for the Dec '11 quarter. Continued rising since the 2/29/12 mid-day report noted - "The Colombian Oil and Gas - Integrated firm reported a +128% earnings increase for the latest quarter ended September 30, 2011 on +56% sales revenues versus the year earlier period. Prior quarterly comparisons have shown great improvement, however a downturn in FY '09 earnings was previously noted as a flaw in its earnings history (A criteria) since public trading began in September 2008."

Gapped down today and violated its 50 DMA line. Sales revenues and earnings decelerated in recent quarterly comparisons through Mar '12 and it is not a match with the investment system's guidelines. It survived but failed to impress since last noted in the 7/01/11 mid-day report - "Found support near its 50 DMA line throughout its ongoing advance. Reported earnings +109% on +16% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. Quarterly earnings results and sales revenues increases do not solidly meet the fact-based system's guidelines and its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been up and down."

Hit a new 52-week high today with a volume driven gain. Reported earnings +50% on +32% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 20-12 versus the year ago period. Earnings were above the +25% minimum guideline in 3 of the past 4 quarterly comparisons satisfying the C criteria, however fundamental concerns remain regarding its annual earnings (A criteria) history. Last noted in the 5/31/11 mid-day report - "Found support near its 50 DMA line throughout its ongoing ascent violation. Cluster buying by company insiders in recent months was noted as a reassuring sign. Recent quarterly comparisons show sales revenues and earnings improvements helping it better satisfy the C criteria, but a downturn in FY '09 and FY '10 is a flaw with respect to the A criteria."

Most Recent Note for WWWW - 5/4/2012 1:10:45 PM
Holding its ground today following 2 considerable volume-driven gains for new 52-week highs, rallying from a deep one-year cup-with-handle base pattern. The 2 prior mid-day reports noted - "Reported earnings +67% on +132% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Its Dec '11 comparison +17% was previously noted as its weakest earnings increase in more than 5 quarterly comparisons and below the +25% minimum guideline. Its annual earnings (A criteria) growth history included a downturn in FY '09 raising additional concerns with regard to the fundamental guidelines of the fact-based investment system."
