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

of experts.

G - Previously featured in
this report as yellow and

Found support near its 50 DMA line and today's gain is backed by above average volume. Due to report earnings after the close for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Went through a deep consolidation below its 200 DMA line since noted in the 6/09/11 mid-day report - 'Completed a Secondary Offering on 3/01/11 since noted in the 2/16/11 mid-day report after a breakaway gap helped it clear a previously noted 9 month long base. This Financial Services - Misc firm's quarterly earnings and annual earnings (C and A criteria) history has not been strong and steady.'"

Reported earnings +41% on +48% sales revenues for the Jun '12 quarter. Gapped up today and hit new 52-week and all-time highs with above average volume behind its gain while clearing prior resistance in the $23 area. It has earned high ranks and no resistance remains to hinder its progress. Consensus estimates for FY '12 and '13 earnings +7% and 0%, respectively, and its low P/E valuation suggest that the outlook for future growth is a concern.
