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 - Today's strongest
candidates
highlighted
by our staff
of experts.

G - Previously featured in
this report as yellow and
now may no longer be buyable

Y - Color code was changed to yellow with new pivot point based on its 10/10/16 all-time high plus 10 cents. Subsequent volume-driven gains for new highs may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal which could mark the beginning of a considerable new leg up. Volume totals have been mostly below average in recent weeks while holding its ground in a tight range perched within close striking distance of its all-time high. Its 50 DMA line ($115.38) defines near-term support to watch above recent lows in the $112 area.

Rebounding near its all-time high with today's 7th consecutive gain. Reported earnings +180% on +112% sales revenues for the Mar '17 quarter, showing impressive acceleration in its growth rate and marking its 4th consecutive strong quarter. Fundamental concerns remain as its up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history is not a great match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines.

Most Recent Note for FIZZ - 7/13/2017 12:09:06 PM
Reversed into the red, abruptly retreating from its new all-time high today. Found prompt support near its 50 DMA line in recent weeks. Reported Apr '17 quarterly earnings +68% on +18% sales revenues, continuing its streak of strong quarterly earnings (C criteria) results. Annual earnings (A criteria) history included a downturn in FY '14. Small supply of only 11.2 million shares (S criteria) in the public float can contribute to greater volatility.

Most Recent Note for NFLX - 7/13/2017 12:19:32 PM
Rebounded above its 50 DMA line this week with a streak of gains. Due to report earnings on 7/17/17, and volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. Reported earnings +567% on +35% sales revenues for the Mar '17 quarter, its 3rd consecutive strong quarter. Sales revenues and earnings growth rate acceleration in sequential quarterly comparisons has been encouraging. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares (I criteria) rose from 1,409 in Jun '16 to 1,544 in Mar '17. This well-known online movie services firm may be an interesting turnaround story, but it has an erratic annual earnings history, not a match with A criteria. Rebounded impressively following a deep consolidation after dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 3/03/11.

Still perched near its all-time high. Last noted with caution in the 6/21/17 mid-day report - "Reported earnings +17% on +4% sales revenues for the Mar '17 quarter, below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Downward turn in its FY '14 earnings is a flaw in its annual earnings (A criteria) history, making it not a good match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines (A criteria)."

Rebounded near its 50 DMA line ($15.87) with 6 consecutive gains after damaging volume-driven losses. The 7/12/17 mid-day report noted - "The Mar '17 quarter showed better sales and earnings increases versus losses in the year earlier periods. Prior quarterly comparisons and annual earnings (A criteria) growth have not been strong and steady so it is fundamentally below guidelines of the fact-based investment system."
