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.

G - Hit another new 52-week high today. Color code was changed to green after rallying well above its "max buy" level. Prior chart highs may now act as a support level. Disciplined investors do not chase extended stocks. Questions also remain about the rally's tenacity until a follow-through-day occurs from at least one of the major averages.

Recently consolidating above its 50 DMA line within close striking range of its all-time highs. Recent quarters showed better earnings increases but its lack of sales revenues growth and sluggish annual earnings (A criteria) history leave fundamental concerns.

Most Recent Note for ESRX - 5/18/2010 12:30:22 PM
Early gain today helped it reach a new all-time high after promptly repairing last week's 50 DMA violation. It has a great annual earnings history (A criteria) and no overhead supply to act as resistance. Quarterly earnings and sales revenues comparisons have not shown strong and steady +25% or greater increases verus the year ago periods, leaving fundamental concerns.

Life insurance firm's recent quarterly sales revenues and earnings increases have been strong versus the year ago period, but its up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history is a concern. Recently rebounded above its 50 DMA line, rallying near its 52 week high.

Most Recent Note for OPEN - 5/18/2010 12:41:03 PM
Hit a new 52-week high today with a 7th consecutive gain while making its 5th mid-day report appearance of May, getting very extended from any sound base. It found great support at its 50 DMA line during the recent market downdraft. Action has been mostly bullish since its considerable 2/10/10 gap up gain with heavy volume. It got off to a very volatile start after its 5/11/09 IPO at $20, and it slumped for more than 4 months after it completed a Secondary Offering on 9/23/10. The C criteria is satisfied as earnings and sales revenues increases have been strong the 3 latest quarterly comparisons versus the year ago period.

Most Recent Note for PRAA - 5/18/2010 12:43:39 PM
Pullback today has completely erased the prior session's considerable gain for a new all-time high. Earnings and sales history remain below guidelines, as was the case when noted on 7/18/07 in the mid-day report. Current earnings per share should be up +25% or more and in many cases accelerating in the 3 or 4 most recent quarters. Quarterly sales should also be up +25% or more or accelerating over prior quarters.
