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
by our staff
of experts.

G - Previously featured in
this report as yellow and
now may no longer be buyable

Most Recent Note for CRM - 11/20/2019 12:29:47 PM
Challenging its 52-week and all-time highs. Reported earnings -7% on +22% sales revenues for the Jul '19 quarter versus the year ago period. Quarterly earnings comparisons have not been strong and steady above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). After a downturn in FY '14 annual earnings (A criteria) it has shown strong growth. Large supply of 877 million shares outstanding (S criteria) makes it an unlikely sprinter, and is already owned by more than 2,962 top-rated funds (I criteria).

Reported earnings +35% on +6% sales revenues for the Sep '19 quarter. Prior quarterly comparisons showed sub par earnings and sales revenues growth. Up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history is also a fundamental flaw making it not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines. It survived but failed to impress since noted on 10/05/05 as it was dropped from our Featured Stocks list after having more than doubled since featured in earlier reports.

Hitting another new 52-week high with today's big volume-driven gain. Reported earnings +67% on +13% sales revenues for the Sep '19 quarter versus the year ago period. Quarterly and annual earnings growth (C and A criteria) has been impressive after a loss in FY '15. However, blue triangles beside the quarterly and annual earnings figures within the datagraphs used by our experts indicate pre-tax, non-recurring items were included (where possible, such items are normally removed to provide data better suited for comparison).

Gapped up hitting a new all-time high. Found support near its 50 DMA line ($109) during its consolidation following a considerable "breakaway gap" on 8/21/19 and additional volume-driven gains. Bullish action came after reporting earnings +25% on +5% sales revenues for the Oct '19 quarter versus the year ago period. Prior mid-day reports repeatedly cautioned members - "Quarterly and annual earnings (C and A criteria) earnings history is not a match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines."
