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.

this report as yellow and

Y - Color code is changed to yellow while hitting new 52-week and all-time highs with today's gain clearing an orderly base. Pivot point cited is based on the 3/18/21 high plus 10 cents. A gain and strong close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may clinch a convincing technical buy signal. Reported earnings +196% on +25% sales revenues for the Mar '21 quarter versus the year ago period, its 3rd consecutive quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings growth has been steady. Completed a new Public Offering on 3/01/17.

Most Recent Note - 5/21/2021 12:54:14 PM
Y - This thinly-traded Bank is perched within striking distance of the pivot point cited based on its 3/08/21 high plus 10 cents, consolidating above its 50 DMA line ($68.36) where it found prompt support during its ongoing ascent. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a technical buy signal. Reported Mar '21 quarterly earnings +137% on +16% sales revenues versus the year ago period, its 4th consecutive strong quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), matching the fact-based investment system's winning models. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been great. This thinly traded Bank completed a new Public Offering on 9/08/17.

Most Recent Note for DAR - 5/21/2021 12:35:25 PM
Pulled back from its all-time high and violated its 50 DMA line ($72.13) which acted as support during prior consolidations. Reported earnings +76% on +23% sales revenues for the Mar '21 quarter versus the year ago period, showing sales revenues acceleration in recent comparisons. Prior sales revenues growth was flat and its quarterly and annual earnings history is not a great match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines (C and A criteria).
