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

Y - Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 12/28/20 high plus 10 cents. Recently rebounding near its all-time high. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. Due to report Jun '21 quarterly results. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. Quarterly and annual earnings (C and A criteria) history has been strong after a loss in FY '18

Y - Posting a big volume-driven gain today nearly challenging its all-time high. Color code is changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 2/16/21 high plus 10 cents. Faces some resistance due to overhead supply up to prior highs in the $283-278 area. Subsequent volume-driven gains above the pivot point may trigger a technical buy signal. Bullish action came after it reported Jun '21 quarterly earnings +267% on +143% sales revenues versus the year ago period, its 4th strong comparison well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria).

Most Recent Note for AMD - 8/2/2021 12:27:48 PM
Rallying to new all-time highs with today's 4th consecutive volume-driven gain, quickly getting extended from prior highs. Patient investors may watch for a new base or secondary buy point to possibly develop and be noted in the weeks ahead. It went through a choppy consolidation since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 2/22/21. Its current Relative Strength rating of 81 is back above the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates. Fundamentals remain strong after it reported Jun '21 quarterly earnings +250 on +99% sales revenues versus the year ago period.
