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.

GMCR rallied on nearly 3 times average volume upon news it will hike prices on its K-Cup portion packs, yet it was noted on 9/08/10 - "It failed to close above the high of the handle ($33.98) which may be considered a more valid pivot point than the one previously cited (based on its 4/01/10 high plus ten cents). Confirming gains would be a reassuring sign in the days ahead."

Y - Gapped up today and spiked to a new 52-week high with a second consecutive gain backed by heavy volume. Color code was changed to yellow as it met the 9/08/10 mid-day report screening criteria (read here), identifying it as an ideal leader for investors' watchlists. This high-ranked Fremont, CA-based firm built an orderly new base, however, it is a riskier "late-stage" base. Another concern was noted in prior mid-day reports -"The downturn in FY '09 earnings hurts its annual earnings (A criteria) track record."

Y - Hit another new 52-week high today. It closed strong on 9/08/10, rising from an ascending base type pattern with volume nearly 2 times average triggering a technical buy signal. It was featured in the 9/08/10 mid-day report in yellow with pivot point based on its 52-week high plus ten cents. Recent quarterly comparisons (C criteria) showed accelerating sales revenues and strong earnings increases, but a down turn in its FY '09 earnings is a concern with respect to its annual earnings (A criteria) history.

Y - Topped its 7/27/10 high earlier today with its 7th consecutive gain since finding recent support near its 50 DMA line. A gain with substantial volume could confirm a technical buy signal. Recent quarters show improving sales revenues growth and big earnings increases following weaker comparisons. The downward turn in annual earnings (A criteria) in FY '08 remains a fundamental concern with respect to the fact-based investment system. It was noted in the mid-day report on 9/07/10 and on 7/27/10 that UA was long ago dropped from the CANSLIM.net Featured Stocks list on 5/04/07 and it subsequently fell from $44.50 to as low as $11.94 before rebounding impressively.

Most Recent Note for AHGP - 9/9/2010 12:19:46 PM
Gapped up today and challenged its 8/30/10 high then erased most of its gain quickly. It continued its base-on-base type pattern since last noted in the mid-day report on that (8/30) session which ended with a negative reversal. Latest quarter ended June 30, 2010 showed better sales and earnings increases versus the year earlier, but prior quarterly comparisons and annual earnings (A criteria) growth have not been strong and steady. Noted in earlier mid-day reports - "its fundamentals have remained below the guidelines of the investment system."

Pulling back -4.7% from all-time highs, consolidating after gains last week with heavy volume helped it break out from a 6-week base above its 50 DMA line. Noted in prior mid-day reports - "This Colombia-based bank operating company's quarterly and annual earnings history has been erratic, with sales revenues not growing."

Perched near its 52-week high, recently wedging higher after finding support above prior highs and its 50 DMA line in the $23 area following a technical breakout on 7/22/10. Its recent quarterly comparisons show earnings and sales increases borderline or under the guidelines of the fact-based investment system. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history appears to have been steady, but prior notes in mid-day reports in Dec '08 and Apr '09 cited "fundamental concerns." This previously featured stock was dropped from the CANSLIM.net Featured Stocks list on 2/27/07.

Hitting another new 52-week high today after clearing a 5-week flat base-on-base pattern. Noted in recent mid-day reports - "Holding its ground in a tight trading range since its 8/03/10 gap up gain. This high-ranked Cosmetics / Personal Care group leader has an up and down annual earnings history (A criteria) that remains a fundamental concern. In the 3 most recent quarters, as noted in prior mid-day reports, this network marketer of weight management and nutritional supplements 'Showed increases in sales and earnings after 4 quarters of negative comparisons. It has rebounded impressively from its Bear Market lows, however its fundamentals are below guidelines, having slumped subsequent to the company's removal from the CANSLIM.net Featured Stocks list on 4/22/08 - details were then covered in the CANSLIM.net After Market Update with an annotated graph (read here).'"

Hit a new 52-week high yesterday, technically breaking out with a gain backed by more than 2 times average volume. It now has 2 consecutive quarters of better sales and earnings, but as noted in prior mid-day reports - "prior quarterly comparisons were negative.

On 2/28/08 it was dropped from the CANSLIM.net Featured Stocks list and fundamentals subsequently turned south."

Most Recent Note for MCD - 9/9/2010 1:06:46 PM
Gapped down today after recently wedging to new highs. The global burger giant's stock is viewed as a "safe haven" and longtime favorite for some institutional investors, however, with 1.064 billion shares outstanding it is unlikely to be a sprinter capable of many-fold price increases. Earnings increases in the quarterly comparisons have not met the +25% minimum guideline, and sales revenues increases have been sub par.

Gapped up today and hit another new 52-week high. Wider intra-day price swings are indicative of uncertainty after getting extended from the cup-with-handle type base pattern previously noted.
