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 - Hitting another new 52-week high today, trading above its pivot point. Its prior session close was below the pivot point cited. Technically, its 8/27/10 gain with heavy volume helped it rally up the right side of a 5-week base during which its 50 DMA line acted as a support level. Confirming gains and a follow-through day for the major averages (M criteria) would be reassuring signs. It rebounded impressively since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 5/06/10 as it and the broader market endured heavy distributional pressure.
