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 - 7/30/2010 1:29:56 PM
Y - Gapped down today then rebounded and touched new high territory this afternoon. It was featured in the 7/29/10 mid-day report (read here). No overhead supply remains to act as resistance after hitting a new 52-week high with its strong close above the pivot point cited (based on its 5/17/10 high plus ten cents) backed by +72% above average volume triggering a buy signal. It has a good annual earnings (A criteria) history, and the latest quarter ended June 30, 2010 showed more impressive sales and earnings acceleration after prior earnings comparisons showed improvement above the guidelines of the fact-based investment system. Its small supply (S criteria) of only 12.3 million shares outstanding could contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

It found support above its 50 DMA line while steadily stair-stepping up from its March 2010 low of $2.27, and it hit another new 52-week high today. It is extended from any sound base and more than +100% above its 200 DMA line now. Noted in 6/21 and 7/26 mid-day reports - "Quarterly and annual earnings history have not been consistently strong, falling short of the guidelines for the C and A criteria."

Most Recent Note for ERJ - 7/30/2010 12:48:08 PM
Brazilian maker of commercial aircraft has not produced strong steady annual earnings growth (A criteria) and it has reported negative sales revenues growth versus the year-ago period in 7 consecutive quarterly comparisons through March 2010. It has risen from a long flat base to a new 52-week high without great volume conviction.

Most Recent Note for GSIT - 7/30/2010 1:02:11 PM
This low-priced stock encountered resistance when approaching the $7 threshold in recent months while forming an orderly base-on-base type pattern. It has now strung together 3 consecutive quarterly comparisons showing strong sales and earnings increases (C criteria) after a streak of negative quarterly comparisons versus the year ago period. Leadership (L criteria) in the Semiconductor group is also reassuring. Caution is called for, as the investment system guidelines discourage buying low-priced stocks.

Most Recent Note for HMIN - 7/30/2010 1:09:11 PM
Pulling back today after touching a new 52 week high with a gain on the prior session backed by +70% above average volume. Not yet distancing itself from stubborn resistance in the $42 area after a 7-month long cup-with-handle shaped pattern. Noted in 2 earlier (June 2010) mid-day reports - "Recent quarterly comparisons showed strong sales and earnings increases that satisfy the C criteria. Annual earnings (A criteria) showed a downturn in FY '08, leaving fundamental concerns."

Most Recent Note for HMSY - 7/30/2010 1:20:58 PM
After gapping down for a considerable loss today and trading near its 200 DMA line it has rebounded back above its 50 DMA line. Recent action has been distributional after stalling, and patient investors may watch for an ideal new base pattern to form. This high-ranked Commercial Services - Healthcare firm has maintained a solid sales revenues and earnings growth history that still satisfies the C and A criteria, and it has rebounded impressively since it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 8/10/09.

Most Recent Note for IDSA - 7/30/2010 1:22:51 PM
Stubbornly holding its ground near its 52-week high after a streak of gains backed by heavy volume. Technically, it is now extended after rising from an 11-week cup shaped pattern with no handle. The Louisville-based Pollution Control - Services firm still has only 3.55 million shares (S criteria) in the public float after a 3:2 split effective 6/02/10, which could lead to more dramatic price volatility in the event of any abrupt institutional buying or selling. Based on weakness it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 9/09/08 and subsequently slumped from $10.94 to as low as $2.39 before rebounding impressively. Recent quarters showed a dramatic upturn in sales revenues and earnings after some negative comparisons.

Most Recent Note for JOBS - 7/30/2010 1:25:32 PM
Hit a new 52-week high today and it stubbornly held its ground after recent gains backed by above average volume. Noted in a few recent mid-day reports - "without forming a sound base pattern it is rallying clear of resistance due to overhead supply. The 2 latest quarters showed better sales revenues and earnings improvement, but its prior quarterly and annual earnings history (C and A criteria) has been below guidelines of the fact-based investment system."

Most Recent Note for OPEN - 7/30/2010 1:37:41 PM
It has rebounded into positive territory after a gap down today. Trading -4% off its all-time high, it has not formed a sound base while recently wedging upward. The C criteria is satisfied as earnings and sales revenues increases have been strong the 3 latest quarterly comparisons versus the year ago period. It got off to a very volatile start after its 5/11/09 IPO at $20, and it slumped for more than 4 months after it completed a Secondary Offering on 9/23/09. The company's management still owns a 32% stake in its shares and top-rated funds owning shares rose from 50 in Sep '09 to 74 in Jun '10..

Most Recent Note for PRAA - 7/30/2010 1:44:23 PM
Considerable gain today after rallying above its 50 DMA line this week, has it now within -4% of its all-time high. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 84 in Sep '09 to 100 in Jun '10. Its annual earnings history (A criteria) has not been strong and steady, yet the March and June 2010 quarterly comparisons show sales revenues and earnings growth accelerating above the minimum guidelines. Current earnings per share should be up +25% or more and in many cases accelerating in the 3 or 4 most recent quarters. Quarterly sales should also be up +25% or more or accelerating over prior quarters.

Most Recent Note for SHOO - 7/30/2010 1:58:53 PM
It has reversed into the red after today's gap up gain helped it nearly challenge its 5/03/10 all-time high, working on the right side of a 14-week cup shaped base. Patient investors may watch for an ideal base and proper technical buy point. Technically, as noted earlier, its gain on 3/01/10 with volume helped it break out from an orderly base. It has the look of a big base-on-base type pattern now with prior resistance near $40. Recent quarters showed accelerating sales revenues and earnings increases since last noted in the 4/30/10 mid-day report. The high-ranked Apparel firm's quarterly earnings increases have been well above the +25% guideline, satisfying the C criteria. Its annual earnings history (A criteria) since FY '07 has been good.

Holding its ground stubbornly near its 52-week high today. Its latest earnings news for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 showed sales revenues up +12% and earnings per share up +21% versus the year ago period. Noted in recent mid-day reports - "Showing recent improvement, but fundamentally the C and A criteria are not satisfied. Current earnings per share should be up +25% or more and in the 3 or 4 latest comparisons versus the year earlier, and ideally growth should be accelerating in recent quarters. Quarterly sales should also be up +25% or more or accelerating over prior quarters."
