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 - Pulling back today following a "negative reversal" on the prior session after quietly touching a new all-time high. Color code is changed to yellow after retreating below the "max buy" level. Recent gains above the pivot point were not backed by the +40% above average volume necessary to clinch a proper technical buy signal. Prior highs in the $362 area define initial support to watch on pullbacks.

Consolidating above its 50 DMA line and near its 52-week high. Faces little resistance due to overhead supply up to the $19 level.
