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

of experts.

G - Previously featured in
this report as yellow and

Y - Gapped down today, pulling back after recently wedging to a new 52-week high without great volume conviction. It may be forming a handle following a 14-week cup shaped base. Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 10/27/11 high. Subsequent volume-driven gains above its pivot point may trigger a technical buy signal. Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong and quarterly earnings increases have been above the +25% guideline satisfying the C criteria. Ownership by top-rated funds fell from 352 in Mar '11 to 333 in Sep '11.

Stubbornly holding its ground near all-time highs since the previously noted 10/24/11 gain helped it rise from an 8-week cup shaped base during which it found support well above its 200 DMA line. Reported earnings +5% on +38% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period, below the +25% earnings guideline.

Gapped down today then quickly rebounded and rallied to a new 52-week high. Reported a loss versus year ago earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Quarterly earnings increases for the Mar '11 and Jun '11 periods were previously noted as below the investment system's guidelines, yet its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong.

Pulling back today after hitting a new 52-week high on the prior session following news of an agreement to acquire Culver Specialty Brands, including Mrs. Dash, from Unilever. No overhead supply remains to act as resistance. It had slumped under its 200 DMA during its consolidation since noted in the 7/06/11 mid-day report - "Its earnings history has been strong, but the lack of sales revenues growth raises concerns that there is not great or growing demand for a new (N criteria) product or services."

Holding its ground above prior highs since gapping up for a new 52-week high on 10/26/11 after encouraging headlines including an analyst upgrade. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Earnings and sales growth history is below the guidelines of the fact-based investment system, still. It survived but failed to impress since last noted in October 2007 mid-day reports after a huge gap up on news if had interested buyers including Carl Icahn."

This Medical - Systems/Equipment firm survived but failed to impress since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 4/15/05."

Most Recent Note for CVLT - 11/1/2011 12:43:45 PM
Approaching its 52-week high after a deep 4-month consolidation. The Jun and Sep '11 quarters showed better than +25% increases in sales revenues and earnings, but prior comparisons showed sub par fundamentals. It had slumped below its 200 DMA line while encountering distributional pressure after wedging to new all-time highs without great volume conviction following the 6/28/11 mid-day report which noted - "Based on poor technical action it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 7/13/10. It has rebounded impressively since, yet its fundamental characteristics today are not a match for the fact-based system at all. Disciplined investors avoid the temptation to get in 'early' and may review earlier notes and observe that CVLT did not trigger a technical buy signal after it had been featured in the 7/06/10 mid-day report."

Gapped down for a 2nd consecutive session today, abruptly reversing from its 52-week high after meeting stubborn multi-month resistance in the $109 area. Quarterly comparisons show strong sales and earnings increases that satisfy the C criteria, but a downturn in FY '09 earnings is a flaw with respect to the A criteria.

Most Recent Note for DECK - 11/1/2011 12:50:32 PM
Pulling back today from a new all-time high hit on the prior session. No overhead supply remains to hinder its progress. Reported earnings +49% on +49% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Its sub par earnings results for the 2 prior quarters (Mar and Jun '11) remain a concern, as the C criteria calls for strong increases in the past 3 or 4 quarterly comparisons. On 4/29/11 fundamental and technical weakness prompted it to be dropped from the Featured Stocks list.

Completed a Public Offering on 5/18/11 and built a long flat based since noted in the 5/31/11 mid-day report - "Recent quarters show improvement versus year ago losses.

Holding its ground near its 52-week high since its gap up gain on heavy volume on 10/27/11 helped it break out from a "double bottom" base pattern. Annual earnings (A criteria) history has not been strong and steady, but recent quarterly comparisons have shown improving sales revenues and better earnings increases near or above the +25% guideline. Last noted in the 10/27/11 mid-day report - "Its earnings history is below the investment system's guidelines for sound buy candidates."

Most Recent Note for HUM - 11/1/2011 12:57:06 PM
Pulling back today following a 10/31/11 gap up and volume-driven gain for new 52-week and all-time highs while technically breaking out of a 17-week double bottom base pattern during which it found support near its 200 DMA line. Reported earnings +13% on +11% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Strength and leadership (L criteria) in the HMO group is a reassuring sign. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Sub par sales revenues and quarterly earnings increases raise fundamental concerns. Its annual earnings history is marred by a downturn in FY '08 earnings after years of steady growth."

Down today with above average volume, violating its 50 DMA line. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Erratic earnings history. Its quarterly sales revenues and earnings improved in recent comparisons, yet they remain minuscule. It has been building an orderly base for the past few months with support being found near its 200 DMA line."

Most Recent Note for TSCO - 11/1/2011 1:38:47 PM
Up from the session's earlier lows near its 50 DMA line. Still hovering near its 52-week high, holding its ground with volume totals cooling after a spurt of gains with above average volume. Reported earnings +45% on +18% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Found support near its 200 DMA line, but its choppy consolidation was not recognized as a sound base pattern. Reported earnings +18% on +11% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 versus the year ago period, below the investment system's guidelines, however its quarterly and annual earnings history (C and A criteria) has otherwise been strong enough to be considered a worthy candidate under the fact-based investment system. TSCO was long ago featured in the June '03 CANSLIM.net News.
