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 - Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 3/21/18 high plus 10 cents. Disciplined investors know that subsequent volume-driven gains above the pivot point are still needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal. This China-based Computer Software - Enterprise firm gapped down and undercut its 50 DMA line ($46.90) today, yet is still hovering near its all-time high building a base-on-base pattern following a considerable 'breakaway gap' on 3/06/18. Due to report results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2018, on Thursday, May 17, 2018, before the open. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. Three of the past 4 quarterly reports had earnings above the +25% minimum (C criteria), helping it better match the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines. Annual earnings growth (A criteria) has been strong since its $10 IPO in May 2015.

Y - Trading near its "max buy" level and at a new all-time high today. Highlighted in yellow in the 5/14/18 mid-day report with pivot point cited based on its 4/26/18 high after an advanced "3-weeks tight" base pattern (read here). Its up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history was previously noted as a concern with regard to the strict fact-based investment system's guidelines. Its small supply of only 13.5 million shares (S criteria) outstanding can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and an annotated graph.

Y - Color code is changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 1/22/18 high plus 10 cents. A strong finish above the pivot point may clinch a convincing new technical buy signal. A weak finish in the lower third of its intra-day range would be indicative of distributional pressure which may be likely near its prior highs. Found support at its 200 DMA line and rebounded after dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 3/27/18.

Hitting new 52-week highs with recent volume-driven gains. Consolidated in an orderly fashion since noted with caution in the 2/02/18 mid-day report - "Priced a Secondary Offering on 1/17/18. Reported earnings +18% on +13% sales revenues for the Dec '17 quarter, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Quarterly comparisons through Sep '17 showed better earnings increases, however, sub par sales revenues growth and erratic annual earnings (A criteria) remain fundamental concerns."

Most Recent Note for GDOT - 5/15/2018 12:46:46 PM
Holding its ground stubbornly after a 5/10/18 gap up and considerable gain for a new all-time high, rising from a riskier "late-stage" base. Reported earnings +40% on +25% sales revenues for the Mar '18 quarter. Recent quarterly comparisons show strong earnings increases with strong sales revenues growth. Its small supply of only 51.3 million outstanding shares (S criteria) can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. Annual earnings (A criteria) history included a small downturn in FY '15, not a great match with the strict guidelines of the fact-based investment system.

There was a big "breakaway gap" on 5/11/18 and it is rallying today for another considerable volume-driven gain and new 52-week high.

Rallied considerably and completed Secondary Offerings on 2/28/17 and 5/24/17 since its Sep '16 IPO at $18."
