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

G - Color code is changed to green after quickly getting very extended from its latest base. It was highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 9/25/13 high in the prior mid-day report (read here) as a considerable "breakaway gap" triggered a technical buy signal after it gapped up from its 50 DMA line. Reported earnings +36% on +21% sales revenues for the Sep '13 quarter, continuing its strong earnings increases satisfying the C criteria.

Most Recent Note for AFOP - 10/25/2013 12:12:01 PM
Gapped up above its 50 DMA line today. Found support near prior highs in the $17 area. Reported earnings +173% on +86% sales revenues for the Sep '13 quarter. Last noted with caution in the 9/19/13 mid-day report when there was a "negative reversal" at its 52-week high. A 2:1 split impacted share prices on 9/17/13. This Sunnyvale, CA based Telecom - Fiber Optics firm's strong increases in sales and earnings have been above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). 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."

Perched at a new 52-week high today following a considerable "breakaway gap" on the prior session. The 5 latest quarterly comparisons through Sep '13 showed earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Its up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history is cause for concern. It survived but failed to impress since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/07/08.

Today's "breakaway gap" and 8th consecutive gain has it hitting a new 52-week high, clear of all resistance due to overhead supply.

Most Recent Note for GNC - 10/25/2013 12:31:55 PM
Reported earnings +25% on +9% sales revenues for the quarter ended Sep 30, 2013 versus the year ago period. That followed 2 prior quarterly comparisons with earnings just below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Found support again at its 50 DMA line and gapped up today for a new 52-week high. The 50 DMA line acted as support throughout its ongoing advance this year. Failed to impress since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 8/16/12. At the time it had just completed a Secondary Offering of ten million shares sold by Ares Corporate Opportunities Fund II, L.P. ("Ares") and Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan Board, underwritten by Goldman, Sachs & Co. Also announced that it completed the repurchase of six million shares of its Class A common stock directly from Ares in a private, non-underwritten transaction.

Reversed in the red after early gains today for another new high. The 10/24/13 mid-day report cautioned members - "Gapped up today for a considerable volume-driven gain and new all-time highs. Undercut its 50 DMA line during its recent consolidation then found prompt support, rebounded and rallied to new highs with volume-driven gains. Reported earnings +67% on +27% sales revenues for the Sep '13 quarter, a 3rd consecutive comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria).

Prior mid-day reports repeatedly cautioned members - "Reported strong sales revenues and earnings increases for the Jul '13 quarter, continuing its recent series of improved increases.

Annual earnings history (A criteria) has been up and down, not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines. Low-priced stocks are discouraged from consideration under the fact-based system unless all key criteria are solidly satisfied.'"

Gapped up today hitting a new 52-week high above average volume.

Previously noted downturn in its FY '11 earnings is a flaw concerning the annual earnings (A criteria) history, making it not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines.

Getting extended from its prior base while rallying to new 52-week highs with today's 4th consecutive volume-driven gain. Reported earnings +144% on +15% sales revenues for the Sep '13 quarter, but fundamental concerns remain. No overhead supply remains to hinder its progress. Erratic earnings history makes it a questionable candidate, fundamentally.

Most Recent Note for WYNN - 10/25/2013 1:05:31 PM
Gapped down today. Enduring distributional pressure this week after wedging higher with lackluster volume behind recent gains into new 52-week high territory. Found support at its 200 DMA line then rebounded since noted in the 6/20/13 mid-day report with caution - "Earnings history has been erratic and below guidelines of the fact-based investment system (C and A criteria) leaving fundamental concerns. Based on weak technical action it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list 11/8/07 and subsequently fell from $136 to as low as $14.50 in March '09 before rebounding. Traded up +43% after it was featured in the 8/26/07 Special Report titled 'Stocks That Should Now Be On Your Watch List' with annotated graphs and commentary including our detailed CANSLIM.net Profile, What To Look For And What To Look Out For, and Technical Analysis summaries (read here)."
