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

of experts.

G - Previously featured in
this report as yellow and

Y - Pulling back today for 3rd consecutive loss with ever increasing volume, action indicative of distributional pressure. Its 50 DMA line ($14.30) defines important near-term support. It was highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 4/24/19 high plus 10 cents in the 7/15/19 mid-day report. It wedged higher with gains lacking great volume conviction since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 5/13/19. Earnings rose +38% on +10% sales revenues for the Mar '19 quarter, still above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and an annotated graph.
