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 - Today's 7th consecutive gain helped it hit a new 52-week high and trade above the new pivot point cited based on its 7/02/12 high plus 10 cents. A strong finish above its point point with a gain backed by at least +40% above average volume may clinch a new (or add-on) technical buy signal.

Still perched at its 52-week high today, holding its ground after volume-driven gains. Reported earnings +16% on +4% sales for the Jun '12 quarter. Prior mid-day reports noted - "This Utility - Water Supply firm's annual earnings history (A criteria) is not a match with the fundamental guidelines of the fact-based system, however 3 of the past 4 quarterly comparisons through Mar '12 showed earnings increases above the +25% guideline."

Very extended from any sound base pattern, it has rallied considerably since completing a Public Offering on 6/27/12. Showed great sales and earnings improvement in the 2 latest quarterly comparisons through Jun '12 but its prior earnings results were erratic and not a good match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines.

Gapped up and hit a new 52-week high today, not near a sound base pattern. Reported earnings +58% on +7% sales revenues for the quarter ended July 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Bullish action has continued since last noted in the 7/12/12 mid-day report - "Quarterly results showed strong earnings increases but sales revenues growth has been sub par and its annual earnings (A criteria) history is not a good match with the investment system's guidelines."

Most Recent Note for FRAN - 8/17/2012 12:18:17 PM
No resistance remains while spiking to a new 52-week high with today's volume-driven gain, rising from a bullish reverse-head-and-shoulders base pattern. It has earned high-ranks and has a strong annual earnings (A criteria)history. The Retail - Apparel/Shoes/Accessories firm showed strong earnings increases in the Jan and Apr '12 quarterly comparisons following 2 prior quarters with earnings below the +25% minimum earnings guideline for buy candidates. Increasing ownership by top-rated funds is a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.

Recently rebounded from a deep consolidation below its 200 DMA line and it is -5.8% off its 52-week high but faces additional resistance due to overhead supply up through the $21 area. Only 2 of the past 4 quarterly comparisons through Jun '12 show earnings improving by more than the +25% minimum guideline.
