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
by our staff
of experts.

G - Previously featured in
this report as yellow and
now may no longer be buyable

Y - Hit a new 52-week high with today's 3rd consecutive gain. Color code is changed to yellow again. A strong volume-driven close above its new pivot point cited may clear a "square box" based formed over the past 5 weeks. PSMT rebounded promptly after undercutting prior chart lows and slumping below its 50 DMA line when last noted on 8/08/11, and its recent resilience prompts its return to the Featured Stocks list today.

Most Recent Note for CERN - 8/30/2011 12:53:35 PM
Within close striking distance of its 52-week high today with no overhead supply to act as resistance. 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.

Challenging its 52-week high with today's third consecutive gain. Rallied above its 50 and 200 DMA lines with a considerable gain when last noted in the 8/26/11 mid-day report. It slumped below those important moving averages during its consolidation after noted in the 7/07/11 mid-day report when trading within 25 cents of its 52-week high - "Completed an additional Public Offering on 4/07/11. Earnings and sales history is below the guidelines of the fact-based system."

Hit another new 52-week high with today's volume-driven gain, adding to its recent spurt of gains 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."

This Utility -Electric Power firm undercut its 200 DMA line 3 weeks ago, then rebounded and impressively rallied to reach a new 52-week high with volume-driven gains. It has been wedging higher this week, but prior mid-day reports cautioned - "Fundamentals are below the C and A criteria (earnings growth guidelines)."

Most Recent Note for LG - 8/30/2011 1:15:35 PM
Volume driven gain on the prior session helped it clear prior chart highs and approach its 52-week high. It survived but failed to impress since last noted in the 10/31/08 mid-day report - "Gains with near average volume this week helped it rally to a new all-time high, and it has traded up for 9 consecutive months. Wild whipsaw action in the past few weeks is a sign of uncertainty, and cause for concern. This gas distributing utility company has an unimpressive annual earnings (the A criteria) history, however its recent quarterly comparisons show accelerating sales revenues and earnings."

Most Recent Note for MNRO - 8/30/2011 1:19:17 PM
Up again today for another new all-time high following considerable volume-driven gains. It has been rallying with no resistance remaining due to overhead supply. Prior reports repeatedly 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)."

Perched at its 52-week high today with no resistance remaining due to overhead supply. It is extended from prior chart highs in the $11 area 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."

Hit a new all-time high today. Previous mid-day reports cautioned - "Its choppy action is not a sound base pattern." It has been mostly wedging higher without great volume conviction since last noted in the 8/21/11 mid-day report - "Reported earnings +32% on +14% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 versus the year ago period, beating estimates and raising guidance. Also announced that it expects to issue $350 million of notes in its fiscal second quarter pursuant to its existing Master Note Purchase Agreement. It found prompt support at its 200 DMA line after it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 8/08/11. Its choppy action is not a sound base pattern."

Considerable volume-driven gain today for a new 52-week high. Leadership in the Mining - Gold/Silver/Gems group (L criteria) has helped it rally among numerous other gold mining firms showing recent strength. 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."

Hitting yet another new 52-week high and all-time high today, adding to its impressive streak of volume-driven gains. Recent mid-day reports 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."
