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

G - Previously featured in
this report as yellow and

Y - Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 52-week high plus 10 cents. Today's breakaway gap for a new 52-week and all-time high came after reporting earnings +43% on +30% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Accelerating sales revenues and earnings increases are a reassuring sign, and it has a great annual earnings (A criteria) history. Small supply (S criteria) of only 39.1 million shares can lead to greater volatility. Found support near its 200 DMA line during its choppy consolidation since noted in the 7/28/11 mid-day report following the previously noted "breakaway gap" and volume-driven gains to new high territory.

Hit a new 52-week high today with a second consecutive big gain on heavy volume helping it break out from a 13-week base, clear of all resistance due to overhead supply. Quarterly and annual earnings increases (C and A criteria) have been up and down, not showing strong and steady growth matching the fact-based system's guidelines.

Most Recent Note for NUAN - 10/19/2011 12:38:17 PM
Earnings history is below the guidelines of the fact-based system. It priced a $600 million convertible debenture offering and is inching up today touching another new 52-week high. It is unhindered by resistance after clearing all overhead supply with its impressive rebound. Failed to make progress then badly slumped and violated its 50 and 200 DMA lines with damaging volume-driven losses since noted in the 5/17/11 mid-day report - "It survived but failed to impress since last noted when weak action prompted it to be dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 12/12/07."

Most Recent Note for SIMO - 10/19/2011 12:41:32 PM
Steadily inching to new 52-week highs and stubbornly holding its ground following recent volume-driven gains with no overhead supply to act as resistance. Reported earnings +233% on +59% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. It slumped near its 200 DMA line during a deep consolidation since noted in the 5/27/11 mid-day report - "Recent quarters showed much better sales and earnings increases versus the year earlier. Prior quarterly comparisons and annual earnings (A criteria) growth have not been strong and steady, so it is fundamentally below guidelines of the fact-based investment system. It survived but failed to impress since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 7/26/07."

Rebounding from a slump below its 50 and 200 DMA lines while consolidating since last noted in the 7/25/11 mid-day report following a "breakaway gap" for a new 52-week high. Reported earnings +100% on +10% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Recent quarters showed strong earnings increases versus the year earlier that satisfy the C criteria. Its annual earnings (A criteria) growth has not been strong and steady, so it is fundamentally below guidelines of the fact-based investment system.

Most Recent Note for ULTA - 10/19/2011 1:04:22 PM
Perched within close striking distance of its 52-week high today. Found support at its 50 DMA line during its short "V" shaped consolidation where it dipped more than -20% since noted on 9/19/11 when hitting its all-time high following a streak of volume-driven gains. Its fundamentals (C and A criteria) remain strong, but as noted in prior mid-day reports - "It has not formed a sound base pattern, yet it is quickly rebounding following a deep consolidation near its 200 DMA line after it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 8/04/11. It rallied +200% since first featured in yellow at $22.81 in the 3/12/10 mid-day report."
