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
candidates
highlighted
by our staff
of experts.

G - Previously featured in
this report as yellow and

Most Recent Note for ABAX - 8/13/2012 12:07:56 PM
Fundamentals are sub par, and although it showed better sales and earning increases in the Mar and Jun '12 quarters the Medical - Systems/Equipment firm is not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines. It was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 2/1/2008 and subsequently fell from $30 to as low as $10.12 before rebounding.

Gapped down today, retreating from its new 52-week high hit last week with a spurt of volume-driven gains. The 8/09/12 mid-day report noted - "The 3 latest quarterly comparisons through Jun '12 showed improved sales revenues growth and strong earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria), but its annual earnings history has not been strong and steady. Low-priced stocks are discouraged from consideration under the fact-based system unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied."

Most Recent Note for SIRI - 8/13/2012 12:28:36 PM
Touched new 52-week and multi-year highs today. After last week's spurt of gains backed by very heavy above average volume, no overhead supply remains to act as resistance. Reported greatly improved earnings with sales revenues up +13% in the Jun '12 quarter. Recently said it intended to offer $400 mln of Senior Notes. Following years of losses it reported profits in FY '10 and FY '11, however the investment system guidelines (A criteria) call for 3-5 years of strong and steady earnings growth. It has a large supply of 3.8 billion shares outstanding. Low-priced stocks are discouraged from consideration under the fact-based investment system.

Still hovering near its 52-week high today after a spurt of volume-driven gains. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Fundamentals are still not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines. Reported earnings +15% on +11% sales revenues for the Jun '12 quarter. Survived but failed to impress since noted in the 8/08/11 mid-day report - 'Gapped down today, pulling back from its 52-week high hit last week. Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been good. The 2 latest quarterly comparisons versus the year ago period showed sales revenues increases in the +14-17% range with earnings per share increases in the +25-44% range. Ownership by top-rated funds fell from 124 in Dec '10 to 116 in Jun '11, whereas increasing institutional interest (I criteria) is clearly desired.'"
