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

of experts.

G - Previously featured in
this report as yellow and

under the guidelines.

Most Recent Note for CERN - 8/29/2011 12:17:24 PM
Perched -3.7% off its 52-week high today after rebounding above its 50 DMA line last week. It had slumped to its 200 DMA line since noted in the 8/01/11 mid-day report following a considerable 7/29/11 volume-driven gain for a new all-time high. Reported earnings +26% on +15% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Its quarterly sales revenues and earnings per share track record has been borderline or below the investment system's minimum guidelines. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 850 in Dec '10 to 968 in Jun '11, and it is already heavily owned by the institutional crowd. This Computer Software - Medical firm has a great annual earnings (A criteria) history.

Most Recent Note for DLTR - 8/29/2011 12:22:51 PM
Hitting a new 52-week high today following choppy action in recent weeks, not a sound looking base pattern. Reported earnings +26% on +12% sales for the quarter ended July 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Good annual earnings history and quarterly earnings increases above the +25% meet the investment system's C and A guidelines, however sales revenues have shown just steady increases in the +12-14% range."

Most Recent Note for ISRG - 8/29/2011 12:26:02 PM
Considerable gain today, rallying back above its 50 DMA line. It had slumped to its 200 DMA line since last noted in the 7/28/11 mid-day report following the previously noted "breakaway gap" and volume-driven gains to new high territory. Reported earnings +33% on +21% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 versus the year ago period, improving from slightly sub par increases of +22% earnings on +18% sales revenues for the Mar '11 quarter. Small supply (S criteria) of only 39.1 million shares can lead to greater volatility. Based on weak action it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 5/07/10 and went through a long deep consolidation before rebounding impressively.

Holding its ground near its 52-week high today. Reported earnings +65% on +36% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. No overhead supply remains to act as resistance, however prior mid-day reports noted - "Prior earnings history is has not been strong and steady enough to match the fact-based investment system guidelines."

Most Recent Note for MNRO - 8/29/2011 12:29:55 PM
Gapped up today for a new 52-week and all-time high following a considerable gain and strong finish on the prior session, rallying with no resistance remaining due to overhead supply. The 8/26/11 mid-day report noted - "Reported earnings +14% on +4% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Not a good match, fundamentally, with the investment system's winning models. It and similar players in the auto-repair arena have shown recent strength while consumers are fixing their old cars and holding off on new car purchases. Its annual earnings (A criteria) growth rate has been good in recent years. But in 6 of its 8 most recent quarterly earnings comparisons there are blue triangles beside the earnings figure on the chart service used by our experts - which indicates pre-tax, non-recurring items were included (where possible, such items are normally removed to provide data better suited for comparison)."

Most Recent Note for MON - 8/29/2011 12:32:13 PM
Hovering near its closely coinciding 50 DMA and 200 DMA lines and -7.8% off its 52-week high today. Last noted in the 7/11/11 mid-day report - "Earnings history has been erratic and below the fact-based system's guidelines. Ownership by top-rated funds fell from 2,411 in Jun '10 to 2,203 as of Mar '11. This large (534.7 million shares outstanding) agricultural firm survived but failed to impress since long ago noted in the 6/03/08 mid-day report."

Most Recent Note for NGD - 8/29/2011 12:34:56 PM
Touched another new 52-week high today and no resistance remains due to overhead supply. Rising after a brief consolidation above prior highs last week following a spurt of volume-driven gains. Found support near its 200 DMA during its consolidation since noted in the 3/21/11 mid-day report - "Recent quarterly comparisons show sales revenues and earnings increases but its up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history leaves fundamental concerns."

Consolidating -4.6% of its 52-week high today. Leadership in the Mining - Gold/Silver/Gems group (L criteria) has helped it and several other gold mining firms. Volume-driven gains helped it recently rally above prior resistance in the $9 area. Its 52-week high was hit when noted in the 4/29/11 mid-day report - "Recent quarterly comparisons show sales revenues and earnings improvement, but its prior earnings history is below the investment system guidelines."

Considerable gain today for a new 52-week high. There was a brief consolidation above prior highs after a "breakaway gap" on 7/29/11. 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 - 8/29/2011 12:45:24 PM
Hitting another new 52-week high today, wedging higher and adding to its streak of volume-driven gains. The 8/18/11 mid-day report noted - "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."
