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.

Most Recent Note for CHKP - 8/15/2011 12:10:09 PM
Today's 3rd consecutive volume-driven gain has it rallying back above its 50 DMA line from below its 200 DMA line after enduring damaging distributional pressure in recent weeks. Reported earnings +17% on +15% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Prior mid-day reports noted - "This Israel-based Computer Software - Security firm has earned high ranks and has a history of steady sales revenues and earnings increases (not showing acceleration) below the fact-based investment system's minimum guidelines."

Touched a new 52-week high today, continuing its spurt of gains with above average volume. The 8/02/11 mid-day report noted - "Held its ground after its considerable 'breakaway gap' for a new 52-week high on 7/21/11 after reporting earnings +217% on +26% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Its annual earnings (A criteria) growth has not been strong and steady, with a downturn in FY '09 earnings a flaw making it fundamentally below guidelines of the fact-based investment system."

Perched near its 52-week high today, on track for a 5th consecutive gain following whipsaw-like action including a test at its 200 DMA line since noted in the 8/04/11 mid-day report - "No overhead supply remains to act as resistance. Completed an additional Public Offering on 2/03/11. It may be an interesting turn-around story, and recent quarters earnings increases were strong, however sales revenues increases in the +10-12% range have been below the fact-based investment system's guidelines."

Approaching its 52-week high after last week's volume-driven gains helped it rally above prior resistance in the $9 area. Its 52-week high was hit when last noted in the 4/29/11 mid-day report - "Extended from any sound base pattern after numerous volume-driven gains in the past 2 months. Recent quarterly comparisons show sales revenues and earnings improvement, but its prior earnings history is below the investment system guidelines."

Challenging its 52-week high with today's 5th consecutive volume-driven gain since undercutting its prior lows and its 200 DMA line last week then quickly rebounding. Reported earnings +57% on +32% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Prior quarterly comparisons were not consistently strong and above the +25% guidelines, however it has maintained a good annual earnings (A criteria) history.

Repeatedly noted while consolidating above prior highs following a "breakaway gap" on 7/29/11 for a new 52-week high. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Earnings increased by +125% on +26% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Showing impressive sequential acceleration in recent quarterly comparisons, but prior quarterly comparisons showed lackluster sales revenues increases well below the +25% guideline, leaving some fundamental concerns."

Most Recent Note for TNH - 8/15/2011 12:29:38 PM
Hit yet another new 52-week high today while adding to a streak of volume-driven gains, repeatedly noted as extended from any sound base pattern. Found support near its 50 DMA line and well above prior chart resistance on its recent pullback. Reported earnings +78% on +19% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 versus the year ago period and recent quarters were strong, but its up and down annual earnings (questionable A) history remains a fundamental concern. There is a small supply of only 4.26 million shares in its float, which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

Rebounding from a dip below its 50 and 200 DMA lines last week, today's gap up gain and recent streak of volume-driven gain has it within close striking distance of its 52-week high. Annual and quarterly earnings history have been below guidelines.

Most Recent Note for ZAGG - 8/15/2011 12:41:04 PM
Touched a new all-time high after a gap up today, yet it has encountered some distributional pressure and has retreated well off the session high. It has rebounded following its 50 DMA violation since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 8/05/11. Prior lows near $11.40 defined a recent chart support level. It has not formed a sound base pattern. Weak market conditions (M criteria) are typically a problem for 3 out of 4 stocks, even when they have stellar growth characteristics.
