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.

Most Recent Note for CPA - 9/8/2011 12:30:06 PM
Reported earnings +52% on +41% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Found support above its 200 DMA line during its consolidation since last noted in the 7/11/11 mid-day report - "Sales revenues and earnings have improved in the 2 most recent quarterly comparisons (Dec '10 and Mar '11) after a streak of negative or weak comparisons. This Panama-based airline is at its 52-week high and within close striking distance of its 2007 all-time high ($73.33). Annual earnings (the A criteria) growth has been good, and increasing institutional ownership (the I criteria) is an encouraging sign."

Most Recent Note for DG - 9/8/2011 12:32:46 PM
Gapped down today, pulling back from its new 52-week high hit on the prior session. Recently cleared resistance in the $35 area may now act as a support level. Reported earnings +24% on +11% sales revenues for the quarter ended July 31, 2011 versus the prior session. When rebounding above its 50 DMA line on 8/29/11 the mid-day report noted - "Sales revenues and earnings increases in the Jan '11 and Apr '11 quarterly comparisons versus the year ago periods were borderline or below the investment system guidelines."

Most Recent Note for GOLD - 9/8/2011 12:35:12 PM
Gapped up today, nearly challenging its all-time high. A brief consolidation followed 9 consecutive weekly gains, and no overhead supply remains to act as resistance. This UK-headquartered firm in the Mining - Gold/Silver/Gems group appeared in prior mid-day reports repeatedly noted - "Sales revenues and earnings increases in the Mar '11 and Jun '11 quarterly comparisons have been much greater than the +25% minimum guideline following sub par Dec '10 quarterly results. Up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history is also a concern."

Most Recent Note for LG - 9/8/2011 12:38:09 PM
Hovering near its 52-week high following a recent spurt of volume-driven gains above prior highs in the $39 area that acted as stubborn resistance in recent months. It survived but failed to impress since 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 NEM - 9/8/2011 12:40:20 PM
Gapped up today, touching yet another new all-time high. Widespread strength and leadership (L criteria) in the Mining - Gold/Silver/Gems group has been a reassuring sign, however recent mid-day reports have repeatedly noted - "Earnings history over the past 3 quarterly comparisons is not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines. Rallying within close striking distance of its 2010 high ($65.50) level that may act as resistance. It sputtered below its 200 DMA line for several months while slumping after it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 11/16/10."

Most Recent Note for NGD - 9/8/2011 12:41:56 PM
Inching up today for another new 52-week high with no resistance remaining due to overhead supply. It is extended from prior highs in the $11 area that define chart support 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."

Perched at its all-time high today with no resistance remaining due to overhead supply. The 2 prior mid-day reports and other reports noted - "Several leaders in the recently strong Mining - Gold/Silver/Gems group (L criteria) are perched near all-time highs with no resistance remaining to hinder their progress. Its up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history does not meet the investment system guidelines, but recent quarterly comparisons showed mostly strong sales revenues and earnings increases versus the year ago period."

Consolidating near its 50 DMA line today. It was perched within close striking distance of its 52-week high after a gap up as the 9/01/11 mid-day report noted - "Rebounded in recent weeks from below its 50 DMA and 200 DMA lines after damaging distributional losses in prior weeks. It has not formed a sound base pattern. This Brazilian Oil and Gas - Refining/Marketing firm showed strong sales and earning increases in recent quarterly comparisons versus the year ago period. Its annual earnings (A criteria) growth has steadily improved since a downturn in FY '07."

Most Recent Note for VSI - 9/8/2011 12:52:42 PM
Pulling back near its 50 DMA line today, abruptly erasing a big gain from the prior session. Reported earnings +38% on +12% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. It found support above its 200 DMA line during its consolidation since last noted in the 7/28/11 mid-day report- "Reported earnings +47% on +13% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. It had consolidated back and forth near its 50 DMA line since completing a 12/02/10 Secondary Offering, and recently wedged into new high territory without great volume conviction behind its gains. Sales revenues increases have been steadily in the +9-13% range for the past year and a half, not showing strong growth or acceleration indicative of great growth in demand for its products or services. A Secondary Offering on 5/19/10 followed its 10/28/09 reorganization."
