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 - Rising back toward its 50 DMA line with today's gain. That short-term average may now act as a resistance level following the violation on the prior session which triggered technical sell signals. Concerns were raised by weaker fundamentals. Reported earnings +22% on +23% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period, its first quarterly earnings increase below the +25% minimum guideline in more than 2 years.

Most Recent Note for BBBY - 5/9/2012 12:04:33 PM
Consolidating near its 50 DMA line today, its first test of that short-term average since its technical breakout on 3/14/12. It failed to make any progress since last noted in the 4/09/12 mid-day report - "Reported earnings +32% on +9% sales revenues for the quarter ended February 29, 2012 versus the year ago period. Quarterly earnings increases have been above the +25% guideline in the past 8 comparisons, however sales revenues increases have been in the 7-10% range over the past year. A downturn in FY '08 and FY '09 earnings is a flaw concerning the A criteria."

Quarterly and annual earnings (C and A criteria) history has been erratic. It survived but failed to impress since last noted in the 11/16/09 mid-day report - "Low priced stocks are riskier choices, and the investment system discourages buying low priced stocks, especially without meeting key criteria."

Rallied with 3 consecutive volume-driven gains, today clearing an orderly base pattern and hitting new 52-week and multi-year highs.

Most Recent Note for DISCA - 5/9/2012 12:28:24 PM
Slumping under its 50 DMA line today following a damaging loss on the prior session with heavy volume. Reported earnings +16% on +16% sales revenues for the Mar '12 quarter. Ownership by top-rated funds rose from 884 in Sep '11 to 892 in Mar '12. Last noted in the 5/07/12 mid-day report - "No resistance remains due to overhead supply and it is hovering near its 52-week high today, extended from prior highs in the $45 area. Earnings have been above the +25% guideline in quarterly comparisons and its annual earnings history has been strong. However, in 5 of the past 8 quarters (through Sep 2011) there are blue triangles beside the earnings figure on the chart service used by our experts - which indicates pre-tax, non-recurring items were included (where possible, such items are normally removed to provide data better suited for comparison)."

Hovering near its 52-week high today. Found recent support above its 50 DMA line. Prior mid-day report noted - "On 3/14/12 it priced a Secondary Offering. Quarterly earnings increases in the Sep and Dec '11 comparisons versus the year ago periods were below the +25% minimum guideline. It has formed a 9-month cup shaped base."

Retreating from its 52-week high with today's 5th consecutive loss. It is extended from prior resistance near the $50 level.

Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been improving since a downturn in FY '08.

Reported earnings +42% on +4% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 versus the year ago period.

Pulling back from its 52-week high with light volume since the 5/07/12 mid-day report noted - "Recent quarterly comparisons through Mar '12 showed good earnings versus year ago losses, however sub par sales revenues growth (+9% in the 2 latest quarters) is a concern. FY '11 marked its first profitable year after many years of operating losses. Low-priced stocks are discouraged from consideration as buy candidates under the fact-based investment system unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied."

Perched near its new 52-week high hit on the prior session with a volume-driven gain. It found support near its 200 DMA line while forming an orderly base pattern in recent months. Additional overhead supply remains to act as resistance up through the $28 level. Reported earnings +52% on +15% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Quarterly earnings increases in the past 4 comparisons have been above the +25% guideline concerning the C criteria. It has also maintained a good annual earnings (A criteria) history while it survived but failed to impress since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 6/14/10.

Consolidating -7.9% off its 52-week high today. The 4/28/12 mid-day report noted - "Quarterly earnings increases above the +25% guideline in the 3 most recent comparisons satisfy the C criteria. A downward turn in its FY '09 earnings is an obvious flaw with respect to the investment system's A criteria today. It is an interesting turn around story with a small supply of only 20.6 million shares (S criteria) outstanding. Longtime members may recall that SSYS was long ago (2003) featured in our monthly newsletter and special reports."

Spiking to new 52-week and all-time highs with today's 5th consecutive gain on ever-increasing volume. No resistance remains due to overhead supply. Reported a loss of 3 cents per share for the Mar '12 quarter. The 5/08/12 mid-day report noted - "The Dec '11 quarter showed earnings +383% on +29% sales revenues. However, consensus estimates for FY '12 are calling for earnings to fall -47% from the prior year, a cause for some concern. Prior mid-day reports have noted - 'The Jun and Sep '11 quarters showed strong sales revenues and earnings increases, but prior quarterly and annual earnings history has been up and down, not a match with the fact-based system's guidelines.'"

The donut retailer gapped down today, retreating from its 52-week and all-time highs with a 2nd consecutive volume-driven loss.

Holding its ground today near its 52-week high. It proposed a Secondary Offering on 5/07/12, shortly after rallying from a deep one-year cup-with-handle base pattern when noted in the 5/03/12 mid-day report - "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."
