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 - Quietly touched another new 52-week high (N criteria) today then reversed into the red. Volume was lighter than average behind last week's gains, not indicative of great institutional (I criteria) buying demand. Volume-driven gains above its pivot point may trigger a technical buy signal.

Gapped down today, consolidating within close striking distance of its 52-week high. Quarterly results showed strong earnings increases for the past 7 comparisons versus the year ago period through Sep '11, however sales revenues increases have shown sequential deceleration. There was a downturn in its FY '09 earnings, and its annual earnings history (A criteria) was previously noted as below the guidelines of the fact-based investment system.

Still perched near its 52-week high today, stubbornly holding its ground after solid volume-driven gains into new high territory. The 2 latest quarterly comparisons (Mar and Jun '11) show improving sales revenues and earnings increases, and it is due to report the September ended period's results on November 8th. Recent mid-day reports noted - "It survived but failed to impress since it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/02/08."

Perched within close striking distance of its 52-week high. Recent quarterly comparisons show greatly improved sales revenues and earnings versus year ago losses. Annual earnings (A criteria) history is not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines.

Most Recent Note for FIO - 11/7/2011 12:37:53 PM
Perched near its 52-week high today on track for a 4th consecutive gain backed by above average volume. No resistance remains due to overhead supply, but its deep "V" shaped consolidation is not a sound base pattern. Limited earnings track record, and there has been erratic price action since its $19 IPO on 6/19/11.

Touched a new 52-week high today then reversed into the red, pulling back after volume-driven gains. No overhead supply remaining to act as resistance. Recent quarters show good sales revenues increases and strong earnings increases satisfying the C criteria, however its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been up and down, not a match with the fact-based system's guidelines.

Most Recent Note for ORLY - 11/7/2011 12:49:39 PM
Stubbornly holding its ground with volume totals cooling since gapping up and hitting new 52-week and all-time highs when last noted in the 10/27/11 mid-day report - "Reported earnings +28% on +8% sales revenues for the latest quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Quarterly earnings increases had decelerated to below the +25% range in the Mar and Jun '11 quarters and sales revenues have been in the +5-13% range in the past 8 quarterly comparisons versus the year ago periods. Several auto-parts firms are showing concurrent leadership, which is a common theme whenever economic conditions pressure more consumers into repairing their clunkers rather than buying new cars they cannot afford. Its annual earnings history has been sluggish (A criteria)."

Most Recent Note for PRIM - 11/7/2011 12:54:25 PM
Matched its 52-week high today, inching higher on the right side of a 17-week cup shaped base during which it found support near its 200 DMA line. Recent quarterly comparisons showed strong sales and earnings increases. A downturn in FY '10 earnings is a flaw concerning the A criteria. Due to report earnings on Tuesday, November 8th. Noted in the 6/27/11 mid-day report - "Earnings history has been erratic and not a good match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines. The Building - Heavy Construction firm is one of the largest specialty contractors and engineering companies in the Western United States primarily serving the growing power and energy sectors."

Most Recent Note for RATE - 11/7/2011 12:55:41 PM
Hovering near its all-time high, pulling back today after a streak of 8 consecutive gains. Recent quarterly comparisons showed strong sales revenues increases and solid earnings versus year ago losses. Limited history since its 6/17/11 IPO is cause for concern and its annual earnings (A criteria) is not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines.

Small gap up today has it within close striking distance of its 52-week high after a deep "V" shaped consolidation over the past 8 weeks, not a sound base pattern. Leadership in the Mining - Gold/Silver/Gems group (L criteria) has helped it rally among numerous other gold mining firms showing recent strength. Recent quarterly comparisons show sales revenues and earnings improvement, but its prior earnings history is below the investment system guidelines.

Most Recent Note for SPPI - 11/7/2011 1:01:40 PM
Inching higher with less volume conviction, it touched yet another new 52-week high today after recent volume-driven gains helped it rally up the right side of a deep 15-week cup shaped base. After years of operating losses (bad A criteria) it has reported solid earnings backed by huge sales revenues increases versus much smaller revenues and year-ago losses in the 3 latest quarterly comparisons through Sep '11.

Most Recent Note for ULTA - 11/7/2011 1:04:28 PM
Perched at its 52-week high today after 4 consecutive gains. 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."

Most Recent Note for VRSK - 11/7/2011 1:05:18 PM
Paused today after 3 consecutive gains with above average volume to new 52-week and all-time highs. Technically it broke out after reporting earnings +25% on +18% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period, but the 11/02/11 mid-day report cautioned - "Prior comparisons were just under the +25% earnings guideline while it showed slight sales and earnings acceleration, and its annual earnings (A criteria) history is good. No resistance remains due to overhead supply as it is inching above multi-month resistance in the $35 area."
