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.

Most Recent Note for ANSS - 11/25/2011 11:03:32 AM
Hovering -6.2% off its all-time high following some recent distributional pressure, consolidating near prior highs in the $57 area that may act as support. Reported earnings +29% on +24% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Prior earnings increases have been just below the +25% guideline in recent quarterly comparisons. It has maintained a steady annual earnings (A criteria) growth history. It survived but failed to impress since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 9/17/09.

Most Recent Note for ASPS - 11/25/2011 11:04:00 AM
Touched another new high today. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Rallied to new all-time high territory with a recent spurt of volume-driven gains. Technically, it broke out with a considerable gain on 10/27/11. Quarterly earnings increases have been mostly strong and backed by solid sales revenues increases, but the -16% earnings in its Jun '11 quarter is a flaw concerning the C criteria. This Luxembourg-based Financial Services firm's small supply (S criteria) of only 16.2 million shares in the public float can contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. ASPS was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/07/10 then violated its 200 DMA with a streak of volume-driven losses, and it subsequently rebounded back above its 200 DMA and 50 DMA lines."

Most Recent Note for KSU - 11/25/2011 11:13:29 AM
Encountering recent distributional pressure while consolidating above prior highs in the $62 area defining near-term chart support to watch. The mid-day report on 10/27/11 - "Gapped up and hit new 52-week and all-time highs today after a 13-week cup shaped base without a handle. Reported earnings +32% on +24% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Strong quarterly earnings (C criteria) increases have been backed by accelerating sales revenues increases. Its annual earnings history (A criteria) included a drastic downturn in FY '09."

Most Recent Note for MANH - 11/25/2011 11:16:12 AM
Following a gap down today after 6 consecutive losses it has managed a positive reversal. Prior highs and its 50 DMA line in the $39 area define chart support to watch. . Prior mid-day reports noted - "Big gains on heavy volume (10/18 & 10/19) helped it break out from a previously noted 13-week base. It rallied clear of all resistance due to overhead supply. The Jun and Sep '11 quarters showed great fundamental improvement. Prior quarterly and annual earnings (C and A criteria) results have been up and down, not showing strong and steady growth matching the fact-based system's guidelines."

Most Recent Note for VRSK - 11/25/2011 11:19:55 AM
Consolidating above prior highs and its 50 DMA line in the $35 area defining important chart support. Technically it broke out after reporting earnings +25% on +18% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period, but the 11/02/11 mid-day report cautioned - "Prior comparisons were just under the +25% earnings guideline while it showed slight sales and earnings acceleration, and its annual earnings (A criteria) history is good. No resistance remains due to overhead supply as it is inching above multi-month resistance in the $35 area."
