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 for AZO - 5/27/2010 12:28:49 PM
Consolidating after a considerable gain on 5/25/10 for a new 52-week high. Recently found support near its 50 DMA line. Earnings increases have been borderline with the minimum guidelines in the past 3 quarters while sales revenues have increased by only +1-10% in the past 4 quarterly comparisons. While consumers are fixing their old cars and holding off on new car purchases, AZO and similar players in the auto-repair arena have shown great relative strength. Guidelines of the investment system, however, call for current earnings per share +25% or more, and acceleration in recent quarters is important. Also, quarterly sales should also be up at least +18%, +25% or more and ideally accelerating over prior quarters.

Most Recent Note for CTRX - 5/27/2010 12:50:10 PM
It has reached a new all-time high today and faces no resistance due to overhead supply. Recent quarterly comparisons have shown very strong sales revenues and earnings increases. Thin leadership (L criteria) in the Computer Software - Medical group (Group RS Rating 42) is a concern while current market conditions (M criteria) also show a lack of broad strength.

Most Recent Note for NTAP - 5/27/2010 12:34:45 PM
Gapped up today, rallying for a new 52-week high with heavy volume behind its considerable gain. It has reported stronger sales and earnings in the latest quarters but its up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history makes its fundamentals fall below the guidelines of th fact-based investment system.

Most Recent Note for PRAA - 5/27/2010 12:38:02 PM
Consolidating above its 50 DMA line within -5% of its all-time high. Earnings and sales history remain below guidelines, as was the case long ago 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.
