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 NQ - 8/26/2013 12:11:43 PM
Holding its ground near its 52-week high with volume totals cooling since its considerable gap up gain on 8/13/13. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Patient investors may watch for a secondary buy point or new base to potentially form and be noted in the coming weeks. Quarterly sales and earnings comparisons have shown great increases percentage-wise in recent quarterly comparisons through Jun '13 satisfying the C criteria. Annual earnings (A criteria) has also been strong. This Chinese Computer Software - Security firm is perched at new 52-week and all-time highs, very extended from any sound base after an impressive rally in the past month. The stock got off to a poor start from its 5/05/11 IPO priced at $12."
