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 - Gapped up today, breaking out of an orderly base pattern after reporting earnings +39% on +21% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Recently found prompt support at its 200 DMA line. Strong earnings increases above the +25% guideline in quarterly comparisons and strong annual earnings satisfy the C and A criteria. Sales revenues increases in recent comparisons (Mar, Jun, Sep '11) show encouraging sequential acceleration from +8%, +11%, to +21% in the latest report.

Y - Gapped up today after reporting earnings +56% on +32% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Color code is changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 7/07/11 high plus 10 cents. Volume-driven gains into new high ground may trigger a new technical buy signal. After dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 6/16/11 it rebounded near its 52-week high then slumped well below its 200 DMA line during a much deeper consolidation before rebounding again. It is now working on the right side of a 19-week cup shaped base with little overhead supply remaining to act as resistance.

Most Recent Note for ATRO - 11/8/2011 12:17:59 PM
It found support near its 50 DMA line during its consolidation since last noted in the 10/10/11 mid-day report and is now perched within close striking distance of its 52-week high with minimal resistance remaining due to overhead supply. Reported earnings +14% on +13% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, down after recent comparisons showing encouraging sales revenues acceleration with better than +25% earnings increases. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been up and down.

Spiking to a new 52-week high with today's 5th consecutive gain after holding its ground following previously noted 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."

Most Recent Note for CPA - 11/8/2011 12:59:40 PM
Still hovering near its 52-week high today, however its choppy consolidation is not considered to be a sound base pattern. The rebound above its 50 DMA line helped its outlook improve. Due to report earnings on November 9th. It promptly repaired a recent violation of its 200 DMA line after it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 9/30/11.

Most Recent Note for EGOV - 11/8/2011 1:02:13 PM
Perched near its 52-week high today, holding its ground with volume totals cooling after considerable volume-driven gains. Reported earnings +22% on +12% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year earlier. Quarterly and annual earnings (A criteria) history has not been strong and steady while sales revenues increases have been in the +12-14% range, not a good match with the guidelines of the fact-based investment system.

Hit another new 52-week high today. Held its ground following a considerable volume-driven gain on 11/03/11 after reporting earnings +56% on +3% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Sub par sales revenues growth and its up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history are fundamental concerns.

Most Recent Note for FIO - 11/8/2011 1:08:16 PM
Touched another new 52-week high today then reversed into the red after 4 consecutive gains backed by above average volume. No resistance remains due to overhead supply, but its deep "V" shaped consolidation has not been recognized as a sound base pattern. Limited earnings track record, and there has been erratic price action since its $19 IPO on 6/19/11.

Most Recent Note for KOG - 11/8/2011 1:15:33 PM
The Jun and Sep '11 quarterly comparisons showed very impressive sales revenues and earnings increases versus the year ago period(s). Prior history was not a good match with the investment system's guidelines. This low-priced firm in the Oil & Gas - US Exploration/Production industry has recently been wedging up near its prior highs in the $7-8 area without great volume conviction. Heavier volume was behind gains that helped it rebound from below its 50 and 200 DMA lines.

Most Recent Note for PRIM - 11/8/2011 1:21:06 PM
Hit a new 52-week high today then reversed into the red. Reported earnings +111% on +63% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. It rallied from 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 making it 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 QCOR - 11/8/2011 1:22:54 PM
Touched a new high today after holding its ground stubbornly for the past week with volume totals cooling. The 10/26/11 mid-day report noted - "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."

Most Recent Note for SIMO - 11/8/2011 1:36:48 PM
Hovering near its 52-week high, it stubbornly has held its ground following recent volume-driven gains, rising with no overhead supply to act as resistance. Reported earnings +138% on +73% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Recent quarterly comparisons show greatly improved sales revenues and earnings increases. Its annual earnings (A criteria) growth has not been strong and steady, and included a loss in FY '09, so it is fundamentally below guidelines of the fact-based investment system. It survived but failed to impress since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 7/26/07.

Inching higher with less volume conviction, it touched yet another new 52-week high today then reversed into the red. 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.

Considerable gap up today helped it hit a new 52-week high. It did not form a sound base pattern. Reported earnings +113% on +52% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Recent quarterly comparisons showed accelerating sales revenues growth and strong earnings increases satisfying the C criteria. Downward turn in its FY '08 and '09 earnings is a flaw concerning the A criteria. It survived but failed to impress since it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 12/4/2007.

Today's 5th consecutive gain helped it hit a new 52-week high. The world's largest retailer's sales revenues and earnings increases in quarterly comparisons do not meet the fact-based system's guidelines, meanwhile its annual earnings growth has been slow but steady.
