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.

Its 50 DMA line ($405.53) defines important near-term support to watch where a violation may trigger a technical sell signal.

Hitting yet another new all-time high today while adding to big volume-driven gains this week. Held its ground stubbornly following a recent spurt of volume-driven gains. Showed great earnings improvement in recent quarterly comparisons through Mar '20 with stronger sales revenues growth, however, quarterly sales totals are in the $11-13 million range, still rather minuscule for publicly traded companies. Annual earnings (A criteria) history is not a match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines.

Encountering distributional pressure this week after it was perched within close striking distance of its 52-week high. Found support while consolidating above its 50 and 200 DMA lines in recent weeks. This Switzerland-based manufacturer of Semiconductor products reported earnings -44% on -4% sales revenues for the Jun '20 quarter versus the year ago period, and prior quarterly earnings comparisons have been erratic, not strong and steady above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been erratic and not a great match with the guidelines of the fact-based investment system.

Perched near its all-time high today following an impressive spurt of volume-driven gains. Stubbornly held its ground in recent weeks while making gradual progress. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Reported earnings +93% on +36% sales revenues for the Jun '20 quarter versus the year ago period, its 2nd consecutive quarterly comparison with earnings increasing above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has not been strong and steady. Large supply of 5.18 billion outstanding shares (S criteria) makes it an unlikely sprinter."
