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 - Testing support at its 50 DMA line today. Any further deterioration would raise concerns and trigger a technical sell signal. Stalled after a recent rally from an advanced "3-weeks tight" base as it priced a Secondary Offering. Disciplined investors always limit losses by selling if any stock falls more than -7% from its purchase price.

Most Recent Note for AFOP - 8/29/2013 12:18:33 PM
Rallying toward its 52-week high this week after a pullback tested support near prior highs in the $35 area. There was a technical breakout last week, however prior mid-day reports repeatedly cautioned - "Recently found support while consolidating above its 50 DMA line and prior lows in the $28 area. This Sunnyvale, CA based Telecom - Fiber Optics firm showed strong increases in sales and earnings above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) through the Jun '13 period. Prior mid-day reports cautioned - 'Up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history is a fundamental concern, not meeting the fact-based investment system's guidelines.'"

Still perched near its 52-week high. The 8/01/13 mid-day report cautioned - "Earnings increases were below the +25% minimum guideline in the 3 latest quarterly comparisons through Jun '13. Rallied impressively in the past week with volume-driven gains while approaching its 52-week high. Went through a deep consolidation below its 200 DMA line since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 11/14/12."

Most Recent Note for DDD - 8/29/2013 12:26:11 PM
Up with above average volume today, rallying back above previously stubborn resistance in the $51 area. No resistance remains due to overhead supply. Reported earnings +11% on +44% sales revenues for the Jun '13 period, well below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Found support near its 50 DMA line during its consolidation since noted in the 5/15/13 mid-day report with caution - "Completed a new Public Offering on 5/09/13, and an earlier one was completed on 6/13/12. Shares split 3/2 effective 2/25/13. Reported earnings +24% on +31% sales revenues for the Mar '13 quarter. Sequential deceleration in sales revenues and earnings increases in quarterly comparisons was noted as cause for concern. Found support at its 200 DMA line during its consolidation since noted in the 2/13/13 mid-day report with caution - 'Annual earnings (A criteria) history has not been strong and steady, but improved greatly following losses in FY '06-08.'"

Most Recent Note for DEST - 8/29/2013 12:30:07 PM
Slumped below its 50 DMA line this week. Fundamental concerns remain as noted in prior mid-day reports with caution. This Retail - Apparel/Shoes/Acc firm's sales revenues in the past were below the respective year ago periods, indicating no new growth in demand for its products or services (bad N criteria). Its small supply (S criteria) of only 12 million shares in the float could contribute to greater price volatility. Quarterly earnings history (C criteria) has not been strong, and its up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history is also a concern.

Consolidating near its 50 DMA line and -6.5% off its 52-week high. Reported earnings +27% on +10% sales revenues for the Jun '13 quarter but fundamental concerns remain. Quarterly earnings and sales revenues showed sub par increases in quarterly comparisons through Mar '13. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history included a loss in FY '09. It survived but failed to impress since noted in the 5/05/11 mid-day report with caution - "Fundamentally, earnings have not been strong and steady enough to meet the fact-based investment system guidelines."

Held its ground in a tight trading range since noted in the 7/31/13 mid-day report with caution following a considerable gap up - "Sales revenues have waned in the past 5 quarterly comparisons through Jun '13 versus the year-ago periods.

Hitting a new 52-week high today with a 2nd consecutive volume-driven gain. It reported better than +25% earnings (C criteria) in the past 4 quarterly comparisons through Jun '13 but with sub par sales revenues growth in the +1-6% range, not indicative of great demand for a new (N criteria) product or service. It survived but failed to impress since 12/01/10 when technical damage prompted it to be dropped from the Featured Stocks list.

Considerable "breakaway gap" today for a new 52-week high with a big gain backed by above average volume. Reported earnings +20% on +19% sales revenues for the Jun '13 quarter, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Undercut its 50 DMA during its consolidation then rebounded and reached new highs since last noted in the 5/15/13 mid-day report with caution - "Earnings increases improved in the Dec '12 and Mar '13 quarters, but prior quarterly comparisons and its annual earnings (A criteria) history are not a match with the fact-based system's fundamental guidelines. Technically, it is trading at its 52-week high but faces resistance due to overhead supply up through the $37 area."

Most Recent Note for MHK - 8/29/2013 1:00:25 PM
Testing support at its 50 DMA line this week. Stalled following a considerable gap up gain and new 52-week high (N criteria) on 8/02/13 after it rallied from a late-stage base. Reported earnings +61% on +34% sales revenues for the Jun '13 quarter versus the year ago period. Fundamental concerns remain, as its annual earnings (A criteria) history has not been strong and steady. Prior mid-day reports cautioned - "Recent quarterly earnings increases through Mar '13 were above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria), however lackluster sales revenues growth in the +2-6% range hints that there is no great demand for new (N criteria) products or services."
