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 - Perched near its 52-week high after volume-driven gains helped it rally from a "double bottom" base pattern. Following the close of the prior session it priced a Secondary Offering. Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point based on its 9/01/11 high. The 10/24/11 gain with more than 4 times average volume triggered a technical buy signal. No resistance remains due to overhead supply. Strong quarterly and annual earnings history satisfies the C and A criteria.

Y - Inching lower today but slumping under its pivot point, raising some concerns. Color code was changed to yellow again on the pullback following its powerful technical breakout. More damaging losses with higher volume may raise greater concerns, meanwhile, prior highs in the $41 area define near-term chart support to watch. Due to report earnings on Wednesday, November 9th.

Most Recent Note - 10/26/2011 2:00:40 PM
Y - On track for a 5th consecutive gain today with volume again running at an above average pace while it is poised for a best-ever close. Touched new 52-week and all-time highs with above average volume behind a considerable gain, however it finished the prior session below the new pivot point cited when highlighted in yellow in the 10/25/11 mid-day report. Reported earnings +29% on +42% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. The new pivot point cited was based upon its 9/16/11 high after rallying clear of all overhead supply following a reverse-head-and-shoulders base pattern formed over the past 6 months. It had slumped below its 200 DMA during its deep consolidation after it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 8/02/11.

Gapped down today, abruptly slumping below prior chart highs after reporting earnings +18% on +10% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. The 10/21/11 mid-day report noted the pending earnings news as it wedged to new 52-week highs without great volume conviction, and added - "Prior quarterly comparisons have been below the +25% guideline. Rebounded impressively after undercutting its 200 DMA line during its latest consolidation."

No overhead supply remains to act as resistance, yet it is still perched within close striking distance of its all-time high while building an orderly base. Reported earnings +118% on +19% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Recent quarterly comparisons showed strong earnings increases. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Insider buying reported in late 2010 was noted after clearing its 2007 high as a very reassuring sign, however its erratic annual earnings (A criteria) history falls short of the investment system's guidelines."

Rebounding near prior chart highs after its consolidation included a slump under its 200 DMA line since last noted on 7/27/11. It had touched a new all-time high as the 7/27/11 mid-day report noted - "It went through a deep consolidation after dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 9/05/08. It has rebounded impressively, especially since its Nov '10 breakout, and it may be an interesting turnaround story now, however the downturn in FY '09 and FY '10 earnings is a flaw with respect to the A criteria of the fact-based investment system. Its small supply of shares outstanding (the S criteria) can contribute to greater volatility, especially if institutional investors rush in or out."

Rallying within close striking distance of its 2010 high ($65.50) level that may act as resistance.

Considerable gap up gain today, rising straight-up-from-the-bottom of a 15-week cup shaped base, hitting new 52-week and all-time highs. Reported earnings +29% on +22% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has shown steady growth since a small dip in FY '07 earnings. Sales revenues increases showed modest acceleration over the Mar, Jun, and Sep quarterly comparisons versus the year-ago period and earnings increases have been above the +25% guideline with respect to the C criteria. The stock is somewhat heavily owned (percentage-wise) by funds relative to its management's small 5% reported ownership. Top-rated funds owning an interest decreased from 573 in Mar '11 to 549 in Sep '11, which is not good news concerning the I criteria

Gapped up today, hitting a new 52-week high after reporting earnings +95% on +91% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Its past 3 quarterly comparisons (Mar, Jun, Sep '11) show impressive sequential acceleration in its sales revenues and earnings increases, satisfying the C criteria of the fact-based system. The downturn in its FY '09 earnings is a flaw concerning the A criteria. It is trading +77% above its 200 DMA line, a sign that it is extended from a sound base after the considerable rally from its February 2011 lows in the $11 area.
