possible buy candidates that are trading
at or near their 52-week high on above

screen are split into the two sections
you see below. The first, titled
"TODAY's FEATURED STOCKS" shows stocks

identified as among the strongest candidates to

Most Recent Note for AZO - 7/23/2010 12:27:41 PM
It recently wedged to new 52-week highs and has been steadily climbing this year. It was noted in several mid-day reports in June that its earnings increases have been near borderline with the minimum guidelines in the past 3 quarters while sales revenues have increased by only +1-10% in the past 4 quarterly comparisons. While consumers are fixing their old cars and holding off on new car purchases, AZO and similar players in the auto-repair arena have shown great leadership and strong relative strength. Guidelines of the investment system, however, call for current earnings per share +25% or more, and acceleration in recent quarters is important. Also, quarterly sales should also be up at least +18%, +25% or more and ideally accelerating over prior quarters.

This Pollution Control firm's sales and earnings history are below guidelines of the fact-based investment system."

Argentina-based bank stubbornly holding its ground near its 52-week high after technically breaking out on 7/20/10. Noted in recent mid-day reports - "Quarterly earnings in the 2 latest comparisons showed improvement. However, as we have noted on several other foreign banks appearing in recent mid-day reports, the lack of sales revenues growth is a concern."

Recent quarters show strong sales revenues and earnings per share increases above the +25% guideline but its prior quarterly comparisons were negative and its annual earnings history has not been strong and steady."

Most Recent Note for CRUS - 7/23/2010 12:42:09 PM
With its 5th consecutive gain today it reached another new 52-week high. It has been noted in a dozen mid-day reports this year dating back to 4/28/10 (view all notes). Technically, right now it may be considered as "late stage" and very extended while trading more than +100% above its 200 DMA line, yet it may go on to produce more climactic gains. With its considerable 7/21/10 gap up gain it cleared a choppy 5-week consolidation, however its pullback of greater than -20% in recent weeks was greater than the -10-20% pullback guideline for an advanced "ascending base" pattern. Current sales revenues and earnings increases in the 3 most recent quarterly comparisons versus the year ago period have shown impressive increases and acceleration. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has not been strong and steady.

Noted in the 7/20/10 mid-day report - "Recent quarterly comparisons show strong earnings increases above the +25% guideline (C criteria) and sales revenues accelerating gradually from +4-14%, below growth guidelines. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been up and down."

Most Recent Note for CVU - 7/23/2010 12:54:14 PM
Steadily rising to new 52-week highs, today marks its 6th mid-day report appearance since 7/13/10. Noted in recent mid-day reports - "Hovering at its 52-week high after multiple gains on above average volume helped it recently break out to multi-year highs. Earnings increases have been mostly strong in recent quarterly comparisons and annual earnings have been on the rise since it tallied a loss in FY '06. Quarterly sales revenues in the $9-12 million range are rather minuscule, so this Aerospace/Defense firm has not shown explosive demand for its aircraft parts. This low-priced stock is very thinly traded with an average daily volume near 22,000 shares."

Hit a new 52-week high after a small gap up today. Quarterly and annual earnings history are below the investment system guidelines for this low-priced stock. The long-term chart deserves some study since this Bermuda-based Retail - Internet firm was noted in the mid-day report on 10/30/07 after - ''Technically breaking out of a 12-week cup shaped base. Strong earnings meet the C criteria, but its annual earnings history has been up and down, and sales revenue growth has shown increases below the +25% guideline.''

Hitting another new 52-week high today, extended from any sound base pattern. This marks the 6th mid-day report appearance of July for this high-ranked Fremont, CA-based firm in the Computer -Tech Services industry. It reported strong earnings results for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 and recent quarters show accelerating sales revenues and earnings increases. The downturn in FY '09 earnings hurts its annual earnings (A criteria) track record.

Most Recent Note for INFA - 7/23/2010 1:22:41 PM
Today this Redwood City, CA-based Computer Software - Database firm gapped up, and technically its considerable gain is a "breakaway gap" following a choppy 4-month basing period. Fundamentally, it showed more impressive acceleration in its sales revenues and earnings increases for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. Prior quarterly earnings and sales increases have been borderline and below the minimum guidelines leaving fundamental concerns, yet it has maintained a steady annual earnings (A criteria) history.

Considerable gain with heavy volume for a new 52-week high after gapping up today, technically breaking out of a 13-week base after sales and earnings growth showed impressive acceleration for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. The San Francisco, CA-based firm in the Computer-Networking industry may be a strong turn-around story, however a downturn in FY '08 hurts its annual earnings (A criteria) track record.

Hit a new 52-week high today with a 3rd consecutive gain helping it rise from an orderly base above its 50 DMA line. This high-ranked leader in the Semiconductor industry has shown sales revenues and earnings increases accelerating impressively in recent quarters, however, its up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history is a concern with respect to the fact-based investment system's guidelines.
