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

G - Previously featured in
this report as yellow and

Y - Reported earnings +35% on +34% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 versus the year ago period. Color code is changed to yellow with new pivot point based on its 7/10/12 high. Little resistance remains due to overhead supply while it is rallying near its 52-week high after a 6-month cup-with-handle base pattern. A volume-driven gain above its pivot may trigger a technical buy signal. It went through a deep consolidation below its 200 DMA line then rebounded impressively since last noted on 3/02/12 when it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list.

Y - Color code is changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based upon its 7/17/12 high. Subsequent volume-driven gains above the pivot may trigger a technical buy signal, meanwhile it is ideal for investors to have on their watchlist. Rebounding toward its 52-week high while working on a cup-with-high handle base pattern. Fundamentals remain strong. 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 ALGN - 7/27/2012 11:51:29 AM
Hitting a new 52-week high today with a 3rd consecutive gain. Recently rallied back with volume-driven gains after slumping under its 50 DMA line, however the 7/20/12 mid-day report noted - "It has not formed a sound base pattern. Little resistance remains due to overhead supply. Earnings rose +70% on +21% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 versus the year ago period, marking a 3rd consecutive quarterly earnings increase above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been good following a downturn in FY '08. Patient and disciplined investors may watch for a proper base to form while it continues consolidating."

Hitting a new 52-week high after gapping up today. It has a slow and steady annual earnings (A criteria) history. The Mar and Jun '12 quarterly comparisons showed sales revenues and earnings acceleration, however it is not a match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines.

Touched a new 52-week high today, and it has recently been wedging into new high territory with gains lacking great volume conviction. Last noted in the 6/08/12 mid-day report - "This Utility - Water Supply firm has a steady annual earnings (A criteria) history. Lack of sales revenues growth indicates no increase in demand for its products/services even while earnings in the Dec '11 and Mar '12 periods were above the +25% guideline."

Wedging into new high territory late this week after consolidating in a tight range since noted on 6/29/12 when a considerable gap up gain for a new 52-week high helped it blast from an 8-week cup shaped base without a handle that included a trip below its 50 DMA line. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Quarterly comparisons have not shown strong and steady sales revenues and earnings increases."

Holding its ground today after a considerable volume-driven gain and strong finish on the prior session for a new 52-week high, rallying above its high hit when noted in the 4/26/12 mid-day report. Reported earnings beating expectations and it gave encouraging guidance. This Retail - Leisure Products firm has earned high ranks, and its annual earnings (A criteria) growth has improved since a slight downturn in FY '08. Quarterly sales revenues have shown sub par increases in the +5-7% range, below the robust revenues growth levels expected under the fact-based investment system.

Most Recent Note for CYNO - 7/27/2012 12:07:42 PM
Held it ground and continued to rally since gapping up on 7/24/12, technically breaking out of the previously noted cup-with-handle base pattern. Reported earnings of 20 cents per share versus a year ago loss of 1 cent per share while sales revenues were up +50% versus the year ago period ended June 30th. Prior mid-day reports noted - "It survived but failed to impress since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 11/7/07. Its Dec '11 and Mar '12 quarters showed earnings after years of losses, but while it is an interesting turn around story, the fundamentals are not a match with the fact based system's guidelines."

Found support near its 50 DMA line and prior resistance in the $28 area. Volume-driven gains in June helped it technically break out since last noted in the 5/17/12 mid-day report. The 3 most current quarterly comparisons through Jun '12 showed improved sales revenues and earnings increases above the +25% guideline (C criteria). However, a downturn in its FY '11 earnings is a flaw concerning the annual earnings (A criteria) history, making it not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines.

Reported earnings +15% on +11% sales revenues for the Jun '12 quarter. Survived but failed to impress since noted in the 8/08/11 mid-day report - 'Gapped down today, pulling back from its 52-week high hit last week. Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been good. The 2 latest quarterly comparisons versus the year ago period showed sales revenues increases in the +14-17% range with earnings per share increases in the +25-44% range. Ownership by top-rated funds fell from 124 in Dec '10 to 116 in Jun '11, whereas increasing institutional interest (I criteria) is clearly desired.'"
