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 WIRE - 10/27/2021 1:11:21 PM
Hitting yet another new 52-week high today with a gap up and big volume-driven gain, getting very extended from any sound base. Rallied impressively after volume-driven gains when noted in the mid-day report on 9/23/21 following a breakout from a base above its 50 DMA line. Reported earnings +999% on +194% sales revenues for the Jun '21 quarter versus the year ago period, its 4th strong earnings comparison. Showed impressive acceleration in its sales revenues growth rate in sequential comparisons. Fundamental concerns remain. Erratic annual earnings (A criteria) history makes it a questionable candidate, fundamentally.
