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
under the guidelines.

Y - Perched near its 52-week high, pulling back today after 7 consecutive gains with ever-increasing volume. Volume total +74% above average on 9/27/10 with its gain above the pivot point triggered a technical buy signal soon after it was featured in yellow in the 9/24/10 mid-day report (read here). No overhead supply remains to act as resistance, while the price/volume action has been choppy since it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 5/06/10. Quarterly and annual earnings history has been strong (good C and A criteria). Leadership (L criteria) in the stock's Industry Group (Leisure - Travel Booking) is a reassuring sign.

G - Gain today adds to a streak of consecutive gains with heavy volume, and its color code is changed to green after trading up to its "max buy" level. Caution and discipline are important, as, technically, there is no near-term chart support. Its large cup shaped base lacked a proper handle.

Y - Heavy volume is behind today's gain as a considerable "breakaway gap" helps it hit another new 52-week high and trigger new technical buying. A breakaway gap is one exception where chasing a stock more than +5% above prior highs is permitted. While patient investors may watch for pullbacks, no overhead supply remains to hinder its progress.

Y - Gain today with lighter volume follows 3 consecutive losses with heavier above average volume. Recently enduring distributional pressure near its 52-week high and pivot point. No resistance remains due to overhead supply, and with only 6.21 million shares outstanding (S criteria) any institutional buying or selling can lead to greater price volatility.

Early weakness today led to an abrupt decline to near its prior chart highs. Last noted in the 9/22/10 mid-day report - "Fundamentals are strong and it may go on to produce greater gains, however it did not trigger a proper technical buy signal recently. Found support above its 200 DMA line since last noted in the mid-day report on 8/20/10."

Hit a new 52-week high today. Found great support near its 50 DMA line since last noted in the 9/16/10 mid-day report - "Strong leadership (L criteria) in the Semiconductor industry has recently helped many tech firms with sub par fundamentals reach new 52-week highs. ALTR has shown great sales revenues and earnings (C criteria) acceleration in recent quarterly comparisons versus the year-ago period. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history is below the guidelines of the fact-based system."

Most Recent Note for DORM - 9/28/2010 12:49:59 PM
Churning heavy volume at its 52-week high today, extended from prior chart highs in the $25-26 area. It rallied from an inverse-head-and-shoulders type pattern since finding support at its 200 DMA following the previously noted "breakaway gap" on 4/27/10. Leadership in the Auto/Truck - Replacement Parts group (L criteria) is a reassuring sign. The C criteria is satisfied as recent quarterly comparisons show earnings increases above the +25% guideline on +15%-20% better sales versus the year ago period. Its up and down annual earnings history (A criteria) is a concern.

This Chinese hotel manager was noted in prior mid-day reports - "Recent quarterly comparisons showed strong sales and earnings increases that satisfy the C criteria.

It quietly touched a new 52-week high on the prior session, following a 5-month flat base during which its 200 DMA line acted as support. It has been consolidating since gapping up on 4/20/10 and 4/21/10 with powerful gains on heavy volume. The 2 latest quarterly comparisons show improving sales and earnings increases, but its prior quarterly results and annual earnings (A criteria) history are below guidelines.

The San Francisco, CA-based firm in the Computer-Networking industry is a strong turn-around story, but the downward turn in FY '08 hurts its annual earnings (A criteria) track record."

Noted in recent mid-day reports - "After its latest earnings report it has a streak of 3 quarterly comparisons with +25% earnings increases with accelerating sales revenues growth. It also has a good annual earnings (A criteria) history. It is extended from the 5-week flat base it cleared when noted in the 8/31/10 mid-day report. Leadership (L criteria) in the Computer Software - Database group is reassuring. Patient investors may watch for a sound base to form and offer ideal secondary buy points."
