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 - 7/25/2011 1:04:24 PM
Y - Up today with above average volume. It was highlighted in yellow in the 7/22/11 mid-day report (read here) and finished the session with 11 times average volume. Reported earnings +83% on +33% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. The C criteria is satisfied by the past 4 quarterly comparisons showing solid sales and earnings increases above the +25% guideline. Its considerable "breakaway gap" up for a new all-time high helped it blast above previously noted resistance in the $50 area. It rallied above its 50 and 200 DMA lines with considerable volume-driven gains in recent weeks during its long base pattern. Disciplined investors are careful to not chase extended stocks, however a breakaway gap is one noted exception to the regular guidelines for buying stocks no more than 5% above a prior high or pivot point. Always limit losses if a stock falls -7% from your buy price.

Most Recent Note - 7/25/2011 1:32:38 PM
Y - Due to report earnings after the close on Thursday July 28th. It has formed an orderly saucer shaped base since last noted in the 5/11/11 mid-day report. Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 52-week high plus 10 cents. Reported +31% earnings on +29% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. Its annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been impressive since January 2008 beginning of its public trading history. Small supply (S criteria) of only 16.4 million outstanding shares can contribute to greater volatility.

Most Recent Note for AAPL - 7/25/2011 1:03:05 PM
Hit another new all-time high today. Steadily rallying after reporting very strong earnings +122% on +82% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. With the second largest market cap of all publicly traded firms, AAPL does not fit the mold of a small growth firm unknown by the institutional crowd. It has a stellar earnings track record that solidly satisfies the C and A criteria. After its last appearance on 8/09/10 in the Featured Stock Update section (with detailed notes and an annotated graph) it was noted in multiple mid-day reports through 2010 as it rallied to new all-time highs, and it was also noted a handful of times earlier this year.

Most Recent Note for AUY - 7/25/2011 1:09:25 PM
Quarterly sales revenues and earnings increases in the 3 latest comparisons through March 31, 2011 were above the +25% guideline satisfying the C criteria. The downturn in FY '09 earnings is a flaw concerning the A criteria. With respect to the I criteria, the number of top rated funds owning its shares fell from 902 in Mar '11 to 851 in Jun '11. It survived but failed to impress since 4/23/2008 when it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list and subsequently fell from $13 to $3 over the next 6 months. First it had traded up as much as +25.4% after it was first featured at $15.89 in the February 2008 CANSLIM.net News (read here).

After rallying above resistance in the $39-40 area those prior highs acted as support in recent weeks. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Recent quarterly comparisons showed sales revenues and earnings increases sequentially accelerating, but a downturn in FY '09 earnings is a flaw with respect to the A criteria of the investment system."

Holding its ground today after a considerable gap up on 7/22/11 from below its 50 DMA line for a new 52-week high. Technically broke out on 6/21/11 from an orderly base pattern above 50 DMA line then endured distributional pressure in recent weeks while negating the breakout and slumping below short-term average. Reported earnings +120% on +35% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Accelerating sales revenues growth and great earnings improvement in recent quarterly comparisons following years of operating losses (not strong for the A criteria).

Most Recent Note for CROX - 7/25/2011 1:13:43 PM
Hit another new 52-week high today, getting more extended from prior highs in the $19 area and far from any sound base pattern. Several apparel-related stocks have shown recent leadership (L criteria). Overhead supply has been no factor in hindering its progress since the 6/21/11 mid-day report noted - "It has returned to profitability in recent quarters and is an interesting turn around story, however its sales and earnings history fall below the fact-based system's guidelines after losses in FY '08 and '09. Based on technical deterioration it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 11/7/07 when still above $40. It has rebounded significantly from ultimate lows below $1.00 which it hit shortly after it was last reviewed in the FSU section of the After Market Update under the headline 'Gaps Down With Heavy Volume Are A Classic Sign of Institutional Selling'. A review of the old analysis is recommended."

Most Recent Note for CYOU - 7/25/2011 1:16:58 PM
Hit a new 52-week high today, technically breaking out above prior resistance in the $47 area. Due to report earnings on August 1st. It rebounded from a slump below its 50 DMA line during its 10-week cup shaped base. Prior mid-day reports noted- "Quarterly earnings improved in the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and showed recent acceleration, but the 4 prior earnings comparisons have been below the +25% guideline. This Chinese provider of free online games quarterly sales revenues improved from $1.6 million in revenues in the quarter ended March 31, 2007 to $97.1 million in the quarter ended Mar 31, 2011."

Spiking to a new 52-week high with above average volume behind today's 6th consecutive gain. Held its ground after its considerable "breakaway gap" for a new 52-week high on 7/21/11 after reporting earnings +217% on +26% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Its annual earnings (A criteria) growth has not been strong and steady, with a downturn in FY '09 earnings a flaw making it fundamentally below guidelines of the fact-based investment system.

Most Recent Note for GDI - 7/25/2011 1:20:38 PM
Up again today after a gap up on 7/22/11 for a new all-time high, rising from a saucer-with-handle base pattern. Three consecutive volume-driven gains have followed the report of earnings +85% on +36% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. The C criteria is satisfied after its 5 latest quarterly earnings improved above the +25% guideline, and sales revenues increases have shown impressive acceleration. The downturn in its FY '09 earnings history is a flaw concerning the A criteria of the fact-based system.

Hovering near its 52-week high following volume-driven gains last week that helped it rally from an orderly base pattern. Found support in the $26 area, well above its 200 DMA line, during its consolidation since noted in the 2/03/11 mid-day report - "Its sales revenue growth rate has been in the +6-7% range while recent quarters showed much earnings increases versus the year earlier. 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."

Pulling back following a "breakaway gap" for a considerable volume-driven gain on 7/21/11 for a new 52-week high. Technically, it broke out from a previously noted orderly 14-week saucer shaped base. Reported earnings +100% on +10% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Reported earnings +48% on +9% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. Recent quarters showed better sales and earnings increases versus the year earlier. 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. It survived but failed to impress since last noted in the 2/07/05 mid-day report."

Most Recent Note for TNH - 7/25/2011 1:51:22 PM
Hit yet another new 52-week high today, adding to its recent spurt of volume-driven gains. It held its ground at its 50 DMA line after a bout of distributional pressure in June. Recent quarterly comparisons through Mar '11 showed impressive sales revenues acceleration and strong earnings increases versus the year-ago period, but its up and down annual earnings (questionable A) history remains a fundamental concern. There is a small supply of only 4.26 million shares in its float, which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
