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

of experts.

G - Previously featured in
this report as yellow and

Y - Gapped up today above its pivot point and hit a new 52-week high, however it has erased much of its early gain. Recent volume-driven gains were followed by a gap down on 7/03/12 with higher volume after not quite triggering a technical buy signal under the fact-based system.

G - Distributional action raised some concerns as it recently undercut its pivot point, and today it is still testing support at its 50 DMA line. A damaging violation of that important short-term average would trigger a more worrisome technical sell signal.

Most Recent Note for CSL - 7/16/2012 11:57:53 AM
Trading near its 50 DMA line today. Consolidating without making any further progress since noted in the 5/01/12 mid-day report following a considerable gap up gain on 4/24/12 for new 52-week and all-time highs, clear of all overhead supply. Reported strong sales revenues and earnings increases in the Mar '12 quarterly comparison versus the year ago period. Fundamentals have improved while it went through a deep consolidation below its 200 DMA line since noted in the 7/19/11 mid-day report when it was encountering stubborn resistance near its then all-time high ($51.57 in 2007) - "Recent quarters showed improved sales and earnings but prior history has been below guidelines."

Considerable loss today, retreating from its 52-week high with volume running at an above average pace. Reported earnings +25% on +38% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period.

Gapped up today challenging its 52-week high, rising from a cup-with-handle base pattern. Rebounded from a slump below its 50 DMA line since noted in the 4/20/12 mid-day report - "Reported earnings +42% on +18% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period, improving from sub par earnings increases in the 2 prior quarterly comparisons (Sep and Dec '11).

Hitting a new 52-week high with today's 3rd consecutive gain, rallying from a long and orderly base pattern. Found support above its 200 DMA line during its consolidation since last noted in the 5/11/12 mid-day report - "Annual earnings (A criteria) has been mostly slow and steady.

Most Recent Note for PZZA - 7/16/2012 12:34:21 PM
Held its ground above its 50 DMA line and built an orderly new base pattern since last noted on 5/08/12 following its considerable "breakaway gap" on 5/02/12 with heavy volume for new all-time highs. Reported earnings +23% on +6% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Prior mid-day reports noted - "The Louisville, KY based pizza firm's lack of sales revenues growth in previous quarterly comparisons versus the year ago period is a concern. Superior buy candidates under the investment system's guidelines always showed strong sales revenues increases indicative of great demand for their products or services."

Hitting a new 52-week high today. Fundamentals remain strong. Technically, it did not form a sound base pattern, yet rebounded impressively from a deep consolidation below its 50 DMA line. It was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 5/10/12 due to damaging technical action.

Most Recent Note for SSYS - 7/16/2012 12:39:18 PM
Consolidating -7.4% off its 52-week high today after rebounding from below its 50 DMA line. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Quarterly earnings increases above the +25% guideline in the 3 most recent comparisons satisfy the C criteria. A downward turn in its FY '09 earnings is an obvious flaw with respect to the investment system's A criteria. It is an interesting turn around story with a small supply of only 20.6 million shares (S criteria) outstanding. Longtime members may recall that SSYS was long ago (2003) featured in our monthly newsletter and special reports."

Its quarterly and annual earnings history has not been strong and steady since noted in the 10/30/07 mid-day report."

Most Recent Note for TRIB - 7/16/2012 12:41:22 PM
Perched at its 52-week high today. Recent spurt of gains with above average volume helped it make progress above its prior highs. Held its ground stubbornly while several mid-day reports since May repeatedly noted - "Consolidating above prior highs and its 50 DMA line in the $11 area that define chart support. Low-priced stocks are discouraged from consideration unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied. Annual earnings (A criteria) showed steady increases since a downturn in FY '08. This Ireland-based firm hailing from the Medical - Products industry group is not a match with the winning models from the book, 'How To Make Money In Stocks'. The past 8 quarterly earnings comparisons through Mar '12 were below the +25% minimum guideline of the fact-based investment system."

Most Recent Note for UTEK - 7/16/2012 12:45:44 PM
Consolidating back and forth near its 50 DMA line in an orderly fashion, building a new flat base pattern. It was last noted in the 4/20/12 mid-day report after breaking out of a sound base pattern and clearing prior highs in the $30 area with a volume-driven gain - "Faces limited resistance due to overhead supply while now challenging its 52-week high. Quarterly comparisons through Mar '12 show sales revenues and earnings increases decelerating, and its prior history included a drastic downturn in FY '09 which is a flaw concerning the A criteria of the fact-based system."

Gapped up today and hit a new 52-week high. Found support at its 50 DMA line on a pullback last week. It rebounded through all overhead supply up through the $125 area, showing impressive resilience since technical deterioration and some fundamental concerns led to it being noted and dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 6/01/12.
