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 AFOP - 9/18/2013 12:20:37 PM
Hitting a new 52-week high today after gapping up. Do not be confused by 2;1 split impacting share prices on the prior session. A pullback tested support near prior highs in the $17.50 area following a recent technical breakout, 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.'"

Gapped down today, retreating from all-time highs after 7 consecutive gains marked by volume. Found recent support near its 50 DMA line. Noted in prior mid-day reports with caution - "Quarterly earnings comparisons are sub par with respect to the C criteria and sales revenues increases have been lackluster. It has a slow but steady annual earnings (A criteria) history."

Most Recent Note for CI - 9/18/2013 12:28:38 PM
Retreating from its 52-week high with higher volume today. Found support above its 50 DMA line and rallied further since last noted with caution in the 6/21/13 mid-day report. Reported earnings +19% on +8% sales revenues for the Jun '13 quarter, below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings growth (A criteria) has been slow and steady since a downturn in FY '08. Consensus estimates for earnings growth +11% and +9% in FY '13 and 14, respectively, may be cause for some concern.

Hitting another new 52-week high with today's 4th consecutive gain. Held its ground stubbornly since noted with caution in the 9/03/13 mid-day report - "Prior earnings history has not been strong and steady, leaving some fundamental concerns. Low-priced stocks are discouraged from consideration under the fact-based investment system unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied."

Most Recent Note for GIB - 9/18/2013 12:35:08 PM
Pulling back today from a new 52-week high hit on the prior session with its 2nd considerable volume-driven gain in a row. Found support near prior highs and its 50 DMA line when recently consolidating. Prior mid-day reports cautioned - "Stalled after spiking higher on 7/31/13 while capping a streak of volume-driven gains. Reported earnings +80% on +141% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 versus the year ago period, its 2nd quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) versus the year earlier. Up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history and its sub par prior quarters leave concerns with respect to the winning models of the fact-based investment system."

Retreating toward its 50 DMA line today following a streak of 7 consecutive gains. Reported earnings +29% on +22% sales revenues for the Jun '13 quarter, its 3rd consecutive quarterly comparison with earnings above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Undercut its 50 DMA line then rebounded since noted in the 7/29/13 mid-day report with caution - "Completed another Secondary Offering on 3/08/13. Reported earnings +320% on +24% sales for the Mar '13 quarter. Completed a Secondary Offering on 12/12/12 and made steady progress. Earnings history in recent quarterly comparisons improved (C criteria) but a downturn in FY '08 and '09 earnings is a flaw concerning the fact-based investment system's A criteria."

Slumping further below its 50 DMA line with today's loss backed by above average volume. Completed a new Public Offering on 6/05/13. Reported earnings +38% on +27% sales revenues for the Jun '13 quarter. Prior mid-day reports cautioned - "Quarterly earnings increases through the Mar '13 period have been above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria), but its erratic annual earnings (A criteria) history is not a match with the fact-based investment system guidelines."

Consolidating above prior highs following a considerable "breakaway gap" for a new 52-week high on 8/29/13. Prior mid-day reports cautioned - "Technically, it faces no resistance due to overhead supply. Reported earnings +20% on +19% sales revenues for the Jun '13 quarter, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Prior quarterly comparisons and its annual earnings (A criteria) history are not a match with the fact-based system's fundamental guidelines."

Most Recent Note for NQ - 9/18/2013 12:42:02 PM
Trading up today for another new 52-week high with its 5th gain backed by above average volume in the span of 6 sessions. Found support while recently consolidating above its 50 DMA line. Stalled after its considerable gap up gain on 8/13/13 and it did not form a sound base pattern of sufficient length since noted in prior mid-day reports with caution - "Patient investors may watch for a secondary buy point or new base to potentially form and be noted in the coming weeks. Quarterly sales and earnings comparisons have shown great increases percentage-wise in recent quarterly comparisons through Jun '13 satisfying the C criteria. Annual earnings (A criteria) has also been strong. This Chinese Computer Software - Security firm is perched at new 52-week and all-time highs, very extended from any sound base after an impressive rally in the past month. The stock got off to a poor start from its 5/05/11 IPO priced at $12."

Abruptly retreating from its 52-week high with today's 2nd consecutive volume-driven loss testing support at its 50 DMA line. Prior mid-day reports repeatedly cautioned members - "Reported earnings +127% on +6% sales revenues for the Jun '13 quarter. Prior quarterly comparisons showed sub par sales revenues and earnings increases and its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been up and down."
