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

this report as yellow and

G - Touched another new high today with a small gain, and it may go on to produce more climactic gains while unhindered by resistance due to overhead supply. Higher volume without meaningful price progress in the past week was noted as a sign of distributional pressure while hovering near all-time highs, stubbornly holding its ground. It has been noted repeatedly as extended from any sound base after steadily advancing. Its 50 DMA line has been a reliable support level.

Most Recent Note for AIMC - 12/23/2010 12:39:56 PM
Hovering near its all-time after a streak of volume-driven gains. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Recent quarters showed better sales and earnings, and technically it broke out of an orderly base on the prior session and touched a new 52-week high. Base was formed in the interim since last noted in the 5/06/10 mid-day report - 'Fundamentals are below guidelines of the fact-based system and slumped badly since it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 9/24/08.'"

Most Recent Note for ANEN - 12/23/2010 12:38:12 PM
Perched near its 52-week high today, stubbornly holding its ground while enduring distributional pressure. It steadily rose since noted in the 12/01/10 mid-day report and noted in mid-November reports - "Recent quarterly financial reports show sales and earnings growth improving, but lackluster prior quarters and its up and down annual (A criteria) earnings history fall below the fact-based investment system guidelines. It was noted in the 7/13/09 mid-day report - 'Went through a deep correction after it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/03/06.'"

Perched near its 52-week high after breaking out from a cup-with-handle type base with considerable gap up gains this week. Prior mid-day report noted -"No resistance remaining after recent volume-driven gains. Recent quarters show improving sales and earnings however its prior comparisons and annual earnings history (A criteria) are below the guidelines of the fact based investment system.'"

Gapped up today for another small gain and new 52-week high, inching above its 2008 high ($33.60) without great volume conviction. Quarterly and annual earnings results include blue triangles beside the reported earnings figures - the blue triangles are symbols indicating that pre-tax, non-recurring items were included (where possible, such items are normally removed to provide data better suited for comparison). The 2 prior mid-day reports noted - "Recent quarters show sales and earnings improving but prior history is below the fact-based system's guidelines."

Most Recent Note for AXTI - 12/23/2010 1:03:48 PM
Today's 4th consecutive gain has it quietly approaching its prior highs. Held its ground but failed to make progress since the 12/06/10 mid-day report noted - "Recent quarters show sales and earnings improving but prior history is below the fact-based system's guidelines. It steadily advanced throughout this year, building orderly base-on-base type patterns, and recently broke out above its 2008 high. Low-priced stocks are riskier choices, and its 'late stage' breakout on Friday came from another short consolidation, not a sound looking base."

Most Recent Note for CRR - 12/23/2010 1:08:41 PM
Rallying toward last week's all-time high, extended from any sound base. It endured distributional pressure after a recent analyst downgrade. There is no overhead supply to act as resistance now, and it has been making meaningful price progress since noted in the 10/28/10 mid-day report - "Recent quarterly results showed great earnings and sales increases versus the year ago period. Prior quarterly and annual earnings (A criteria) history is below guidelines."

Most Recent Note for DXPE - 12/23/2010 1:13:17 PM
Wedged up to new 52-week highs this week without great volume conviction. It has made steady progress since a breakout on 11/02/10, followed by a 11/24/10 breakout from a longer base-on-base type pattern. The C and A criteria are not satisfied today. Based on weak action it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/03/08 and fundamentals deteriorated afterward while it slumped from above $21 to as low as $8.57 before rebounding. The latest quarter Jun and Sept '10 showed better sales revenues and earnings after at least 4 quarters of negative comparisons.

Most Recent Note for PRGS - 12/23/2010 1:21:52 PM
Holding its ground after hitting a new 52-week high with a considerable volume-driven gain on the prior session. It reported earnings +16% on +6% sales revenues for the quarter ended November 30, 2010 versus the year ago period. It has steadily advanced and stubbornly held its ground since the 10/15/10 mid-day report noted - "Rallying to a new 52-week and multi-year high. Earnings increases above the +25% guideline in the 3 latest quarterly comparisons are a reassuring sign and helped it earn high ranks. However, sales revenues increases in the +6-9% range over the recent period fall below the fact-based investment system's guidelines for robust growth in demand typical of a hot new (N criteria) product or service. On 12/20/2005 it was dropped from the CANSLIM.net Featured Stocks list."
