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

G - Rebounding more today following a volume-driven gain on the prior session. A rebound above the 50 DMA line is needed for its outlook to improve. Damaging volume-driven loss on Monday violated its 50 DMA line ($168) and undercut the recent lows triggering a technical sell signal. The 200 DMA line ($156) defines important near-term support to watch. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and an annotated graph.

Most Recent Note for AVGO - 12/19/2018 12:02:29 PM
Consolidating after a rebound above its 50 and 200 DMA lines with 5 consecutive gains marked by above average volume. Went through a choppy consolidation after dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 1/25/18, and it still faces resistance due to overhead supply up to the $285 level. Earnings increases have been mostly above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) in quarterly comparisons through Oct '18, but deceleration in its sales revenues growth rate has been noted.

Slumping further below its 50 DMA line and below prior lows with today's loss after hovering near its all-time high in recent weeks. The 12/17/18 mid-day report noted - "Earnings increases were above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) in the 3 latest quarterly comparisons through Sep '18. Decelerating sales revenues growth and its up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history are fundamental concerns."

Met resistance at its 50 DMA line when rebounding and prior mid-day reports repeatedly noted - "Reported strong earnings increases in the Mar, Jun, and Sep '18 quarterly comparisons, but sub par sales revenues and annual earnings growth (A criteria) has not been a match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines."

Three of the past 4 comparisons had earnings above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Sub par sales revenues growth is a concern.

Still perched near its 52-week high and today's gain has it rebounding near its 50 DMA line ($96.88) after 3 consecutive volume-driven losses. Reported earnings +28% on +4% sales revenues for the Sep '18 quarter. Earnings growth has been above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) in the 3 latest comparisons, but with sub par sales revenues growth, so fundamental concerns remain. Total shares outstanding of 563.9 million makes it an unlikely sprinter. It has maintained a steady annual earnings history (A criteria).

Reported earnings +39% on +16% sales revenues for the Sep '18 quarter, its 3rd strong quarter above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria).

Rebounding today after damaging volume-driven losses in recent weeks violated its 200 DMA line ($76). Last noted with caution in the 11/01/18 mid-day report - "Reported earnings +23% on +1% sales revenues for the Sep '18 quarter. Earnings growth in prior quarterly comparisons was below the +25% minimum guideline, short of the C criteria, with sub par sales revenues growth. Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been good. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 986 in Mar '12 to 1,719 in Sep '18, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria."

Most Recent Note for MLNX - 12/19/2018 12:24:58 PM
Hovering near its 52-week high after 11/08/18 M&A news. Gapped up on 10/26/18 for a considerable volume-driven gain and rallied straight up from the bottom of a 19-week base. This Israel-based Electronics - Semiconductor firm reported earnings +87% with sales revenues +24% for the Sep '18 quarter versus the year ago period, its 3rd strong quarter. Up and down annual earnings (A criteria) history is not a match with the fact-based investment system's guidelines. Survived but failed to impress since it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 7/17/12.
