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 - Posting a big volume-driven gain for a new all-time high today. Bullish action came after reporting Jun '21 quarterly earnings +45% on +24% sales revenues versus the year ago period. It was highlighted in yellow in the prior mid-day report with pivot point cited based on its 12/28/20 high plus 10 cents when noted - "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."

Most Recent Note for AMD - 8/3/2021 12:37:24 PM
Rallying to new all-time highs with today's 5th 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 85 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.
