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.

Most Recent Note - 5/9/2013 12:27:40 PM
Y - Due to report Mar '13 quarterly earnings after the close today, and volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. Color code is changed to yellow with a pivot point cited based on its 4/09/13 high while rallying from a "double bottom" base to a new 52-week high with above average volume behind today's 6th consecutive gain. Undercut its 50 DMA line during its consolidation since last noted with caution in the 4/04/13 mid-day report following a volume-driven loss - "Prior highs in the $26 area define the next near-term support. Recently tallied 11 consecutive weekly gains, and very little overhead supply remains to act as resistance. A valid secondary buy point exists following a successful test of support at its 10-week moving average (WMA) up to +5% above the latest high, meanwhile it may be forming a new base. Decelerating sales revenues and earnings increases in sequential quarterly comparisons through Dec '12 is a cause for some concern, however fundamentals are strong enough that prior mid-day reports noted - 'Earnings history has been strong and is a good match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines (C and A criteria).'"

Hit yet another new 52-week high today, adding to its spurt of volume-driven gains, getting very extended from any sound base. This Sunnyvale, CA based Telecom - Fiber Optics firm showed better increases in sales and earnings for the Sep, Dec '12, and Mar '13 quarters versus the year ago period, above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Prior quarterly and annual earnings (A criteria) history has been below the fact-based investment system's guidelines.

Hit a new 52-week high with above average volume behind today's 9th consecutive gain. It faces resistance due to additional overhead supply. Earnings history is not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines (C criteria) and consensus estimates are calling for earnings -7% in FY '13.

Gapped down today abruptly retreating from its 52-week high and violating its 50 DMA line. Recent quarterly comparisons through Mar '13 showed improving sales revenues and earnings increases, however its annual earnings (A criteria) history included a downturn in FY '09, and estimates calling for earnings -27% in FY '13 are also cause for concern. Last noted in the 11/08/11 mid-day report with caution - "It survived but failed to impress since it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/02/08."

Consolidating near its 52-week high, holding its ground stubbornly after a streak of 8 consecutive volume-driven gains. Rallied above earlier chart highs from an orderly flat base, and worked up through resistance due to overhead supply. Prior mid-day reports repeatedly cautioned - "Its quarterly and annual earnings (C and A criteria) history is not a match with the fact-based system's fundamental guidelines. Low-priced stocks are discouraged from consideration unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied."

Churning above average volume near its 52-week high, enduring recent distributional pressure yet finding support above its 50 DMA line. Reported earnings +14% on +17% sales revenues for the Mar '13 quarter. Prior mid-day reports cautioned - "Earnings increases in recent quarterly comparisons through Dec '12 have been below or near the +25% minimum earnings guideline.

Reported earnings +24% on +31% sales revenues for the Mar '13 quarter. Sequential deceleration in sales revenues and earnings increases in its recent quarterly comparisons is cause for concern. Rebounding toward its 52-week high after finding support at its 200 DMA line during its consolidation since last noted in the 2/13/13 mid-day report with caution - "Annual earnings (A criteria) history has not been strong and steady, but improved greatly following losses in FY '06-08."

Most Recent Note for GMCR - 5/9/2013 12:52:52 PM
Considerable "breakaway gap" today and new 52-week high. There may be additional resistance up through the $115 level due to old overhead supply. Earnings increases have been above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) in the 3 latest quarterly comparisons through Mar '13. Decelerating sales revenues increases are cause for concern as it reported sales +127%, +91%, +102%, +37%, +21%, +33%, +16% and +14% in the Jun, Sep, Dec '11, Mar, Jun, Sep, Dec '12, and Mar '13 quarters, respectively.

Hitting new 52-week and multi-year highs with today's 3rd consecutive gain. Stubbornly holding its ground following recent volume-driven gains, extended from any sound base pattern. Reported earnings +102% on +29% sales revenues for the Mar '13 quarter, but fundamental concerns remain. Prior mid-day report cautioned - "Recent quarterly results have shown waning sales revenues and earnings increases have not been strong and steady above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) improved since FY '09, however consensus estimates are calling for lower earnings in FY '13."

Found support at its 50 DMA line during its consolidation and held its ground stubbornly since noted in the 1/09/13 mid-day report after rallying from a 15-week cup shaped base without a handle. Recent quarterly comparisons showed strong earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) versus the year earlier, however its annual earnings (A criteria) history included a downturn and loss in FY '09, not strong and steady growth, leaving fundamental concerns with respect to the guidelines of the fact-based investment system.

Prior mid-day reports cautioned - "Limited history since its $15 IPO on 7/25/12 is a concern. Sales revenues grew by +28% over the year ago period in the past 4 quarterly comparisons through Dec '12. However, its earnings history has not been strong and steady and is not a good match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines (C and A criteria)."

This Israeli manufacturer of Computer - Networking devices faces no resistance due to overhead supply. Prior mid-day reports cautioned - "Reported strong sales and earnings increases for the Mar '13 and Dec '12 quarters, accelerating after a streak of sub par quarterly earnings comparisons (bad C criteria). Concerning the A criteria, there was a downturn in FY '09, also making it not a good match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines."

It is extended from any sound base, and patient investors may watch for a new base or secondary buy point to possibly form and be noted in the coming weeks.

Most Recent Note for TM - 5/9/2013 1:39:44 PM
Perched at its 52-week high following a considerable volume-driven gain on the prior session. Reported earnings +127% on -10% sales revenues for the Mar '13 quarter. When clearing an orderly 8-week flat base it was noted in the 4/08/13 mid-day report with caution - "Erratic earnings history is not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines."
