The results of that screen are split into the two sections you see below. The first, titled "TODAY's FEATURED STOCKS" shows stocks that CANSLIM.net's experts have recently identified as among the most strong CANSLIM-based buy candidates to consider. Stocks highlighted in yellow are the most timely and noteworthy, so particular attention and prompt action may be appropriate.

Our experts have reviewed and included notes on these stocks as well, but found that they may not match up as favorably with O'Neil's guidelines in the book "How to Make Money in Stocks".
