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 - Color code is changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 9/01/21 high plus 10 cents. Gapped down today yet it remains perched within striking distance of its all-time high. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. Its Relative Strength rating has improved to 90, well above the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates. Found support at its 200 DMA line and rebounded since dropped from the Featured Stocks List on 10/01/21. The market direction (M criteria) remains a concern regarding any new buying until a new confirmed rally with a follow-through day."

The Dec '20, Mar, Jun, and Sep '21 quarterly comparisons were well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) of the fact-based system. On 8/31/20 a 4:1 share split impacted share price. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 4,946 in Jun '19 to 5,890 in Sep '21. Companies currently on the Featured Stocks list are ideal candidates fitting the fact-based investment system's guidelines before becoming heavily owned by the institutional crowd.

This Chinese Semiconductor firm is pulling back today, retreating from its all-time high following recently noted volume-driven gains. Noted in prior mid-day reports - "Held its ground following 6 consecutive volume-driven gains, rallying from an 8-month base. Quarterly results through Sep '21 versus the year ago periods have shown strong sales revenues and earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline. There was a big downturn in FY '20 earnings which is not a match with the fact-based investment system's strict fundamental guideline (A criteria)."
