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 - 5/28/2015 12:23:59 PM
Y - Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 3/23/15 high plus 10 cents. This Singapore-based Electronics - Semiconductor firm spiked to a new 52-week high on the prior session, technically breaking out of a riskier "late stage" base with a considerable volume-driven gain. It announced plans to acquire Broadcom (BRCM) as mentioned in the 5/27/15 commentary (read here). The Jan '15 quarter marked its 5th consecutive quarterly earnings increase above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) and its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong. Undercut its 50 DMA line then rebounded since last noted in the 3/26/15 mid-day report - "Strong earnings making it a better match with the fact-based investment system, however it did not form a sound base. Patient investors may watch for a new base to possibly develop and be noted in the weeks ahead."

Y - Hitting a new 52-week high with today's 3rd consecutive gain, and it is rallying above its pivot point with volume running at an above average pace. Gains backed by at least +40% above average volume while rising above the pivot point may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Important support is defined by its 50 DMA line ($65.73) where more damaging losses would raise greater concerns and trigger a technical sell signal.

Rose its above its pivot point on the prior session with volume only +34% above average, and members were reminded - "Volume must be at least +40% above average to trigger a proper technical buy signal. No overhead supply remains to act as resistance. Its 50 DMA line and recent lows near $93.50 define important chart support where more damaging losses may raise concerns and trigger worrisome technical sell signals."

The 50 DMA line defines important near-term support where a violation would raise concerns and trigger a technical sell signal.

Hitting new multi-year highs, getting extended from prior highs in the $93 area and adding to a spurt of recent volume-driven gains. Found support at its 50 DMA line. Reported earnings +162% on +134% sales revenues for the Mar '15 quarter, but fundamental concerns remain. Prior mid-day reports cautioned members - "Its annual earnings (the A criteria) history showed a downturn in 2012, leaving fundamental concerns. After a streak of negative quarterly sales revenues and earnings comparisons it showed great improvements in the Mar, Jun, Sep, and Dec '13 quarters. Its small supply of 30.1 million shares (the S criteria) outstanding could contribute to especially great volatility in the event of institutional accumulation or distribution. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 312 in Mar '13 to 391 in Dec '13, which is good news concerning the I criteria. Survived but failed to impress since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 7/31/09."

Most Recent Note for UHS - 5/28/2015 1:25:54 PM
Hit a new 52-week high with a big volume-driven gain and the 5/27/15 mid-day report noted - "Getting very extended from any sound base. Found prompt support at its 50 DMA line during its prior consolidation. Reported earnings +31% on +15% sales revenues for the Mar '15 quarter, and 3 of the past 4 quarterly comparisons showed earnings increases of more than +25% (C criteria). The Medical - Hospitals group has some stocks recently showing leadership. Disciplined investors might watch for a new base to possibly be formed and noted in the weeks ahead."

Making its 2nd consecutive mid-day report appearance, finding support at its 50 DMA line while building on an orderly flat base. Reported Jan '15 quarterly earnings +22% on +21% sales revenues. Found support at its 50 DMA line and made gradual progress since noted with caution in the 12/05/14 mid-day report - "Reported earnings +26% on +21% sales revenues for the Oct '14 quarter. Prior quarterly comparisons were not strong and steady above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria).
