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

Y - Perched near its all-time high and still working on the right side of a 15-week cup shaped base without a handle. A proper "handle" forms over a minimum of 1 week and includes a pullback in the 10-12% range. Color code was changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 52-week high plus ten cents when featured in the 8/05/10 mid-day report (read here). As noted 7/30/10 - "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."

Most Recent Note for CATM - 8/6/2010 12:12:32 PM
Holding its ground today after a gap up and considerable gain for a new 52-week high on the prior session. For the quarter ended June 30, 2010 it reported +53% earnings on +7% sales versus the year ago period, continuing its solid earnings trend. Sales revenues were reported in the -4% to +11% range for the past 7 comparisons, however. It found support well above its 200 DMA line but endured heavy distribution since last noted in the mid-day report on 4/30/10 following a Secondary Offering completed 3/31. As it was noted on 4/30/10 - "There is no overhead supply to act as resistance, yet it is up substantially from a low of $0.47 in Nov '08."

Rallied to new 52-week highs after its 7/27/10 gap up gain with high volume. Recent quarterly comparisons show improving sales and earnings increases, however its annual earnings (A criteria) history has not shown the strong steady growth required under the fact-based system's guidelines.

Hit yet another new all-time high today, extending its streak of gains with above average volume. Noted in recent mid-day reports - "Very extended from a sound base after clearing resistance at the $30 level. Columbian Oil and Gas - Integrated firm reported strong sales and earnings increases for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 versus the year earlier period. Recent quarterly comparisons have shown great improvement, but its prior quarterly and annual earnings history has been below guidelines of the fact-based system."

Most Recent Note for EMC - 8/6/2010 12:21:40 PM
This week it wedged to a new 52-week high with light volume after recently encountering heavy distributional pressure. Its April - June highs and its 50 DMA line define important chart support to watch. Noted in several recent mid-day reports - "Its annual earnings (A criteria) history and quarterly earnings and sales revenues increases have been below the fact-based investment system guidelines, yet improved in the latest quarter. Large supply of 2.055 billion shares outstanding makes this goliath Computer - Data Storage firm an unlikely sprinter."

Inching to new 52 week highs this week, still not distancing itself from previously noted stubborn resistance in the $42 area after a 7-month long cup-with-handle shaped pattern. Noted in prior 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 NUTR - 8/6/2010 12:53:31 PM
It has slumped back under stubborn resistance in the $16 area since noted in the 8/03/10 mid-day report when a gain with above average volume helped it hit a new 52-week high. Peers in the Cosmetics /Personal Care industry group, Herbalife Ltd (HLF) and USANA Health Science Inc (USNA) have also met recent mid-day report screening parameters, confirming leadership (L criteria) in the group. NUTR was noted in recent mid-day reports - "It has built a long flat base-on-base type pattern. Fundamentals are below guidelines of the investment system today for this vitamin and dietary supplement maker which was long ago (back in 2004) on the Featured Stocks list.

As noted in the 8/04/10 mid-day report - "No overhead supply remains to act as resistance after clearing its deep 3-month consolidation.
