The Dow and Nasdaq opened higher as earnings reports and acquisitions suggested the U.S. economic recovery is gaining pace. Volume totals were lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session while advancing issues beat decliners by 5-2 on the NYSE and by 9-5 on the Nasdaq. The total number of 52-week highs still outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There was a total of 24 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from 8 on Friday, but still down considerably from 113 on last Tuesday. On the Featured Stocks Page, 12 out of the 20 high-ranked leaders now listed posted gains.

Corporate deal-making and a share buyback plan heightened investor confidence. Technology shares got a boost as Intel Corp (INTC +2%) added $10 billion to its stock-repurchase plan. International Business Machines (IBM +2.7%) added over 30 points to the Dow as its shares hit a fresh all-time high. Paper and packaging stocks rose after Smurfit-Stone Container Corp (SSCC +27%) agreed to be bought by Rock-Tenn Co (RKT +3.7%) for $35 a share. JC Penney Company Inc (JCP +7.2%) rallied after it announced restructuring measures including the closure of several stores. RadioShack Corp (RSH -11.3%) declined after forecasting disappointing earnings and announcing the retirement of its chief executive.

Oil closed below $88 per barrel on signs Saudi Arabia will increase production.  Russia's benchmark stock index fell the most in six months after a terrorist bombing at a Moscow airport killed at least 35 people.

The Federal Reserve begins a two-day meeting on Tuesday, with the Fed expected to review its plan to purchase an extra $600 billion in Treasury securities by the end of the second quarter.

The current rally is under pressure. Leadership recently waned as daily new 52-week highs totals on both exchanges shriveled up from having been in the 200-300 range last Tuesday. Investors should be watchful in the coming days as earnings news is likely to be a catalyst for additional market volatility.

PICTURED: The Dow has 12,000 in sight and is extending its gains to a ninth week. It reached its highest intra-day level since June, 2008.

Defensive groups including the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.79%) and Healthcare Index ($HMO -0.58%) were among Monday's laggard groups. Meanwhile, the Retail Index ($RLX +0.33%) posted a modest gain, and tech shares had a positive bias as the Internet Index ($IIX +0.60%), Networking Index ($NWX +0.67%), and Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.98%) ended unanimously higher. The Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.04%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.31%) inched higher even while crude oil prices fell. The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.06%) held its ground but the Bank Index ($BKX -0.97%) slumped.

PICTURED: The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +2.50%) has recently been consolidating above an upward trendline connecting its August - January lows.

Aruba Networks Inc. (ARUN -$0.56 or -2.56% to $21.28) finished in the upper third of its intra-day range today after trading near previously noted lows defining chart support. After negating its latest breakout, and violating its 50-day moving average (DMA) line last week triggering a technical sell signal, subsequent damaging losses may raise more serious concerns. Its Accumulation/Distribution Rating has slumped to a D+.  A rebound above its short-term average is needed for its outlook to improve. If any new (or add-on) buying was done after its recent breakout, disciplined investors may have already been prompted to sell based upon the investment system's rule of limiting losses whenever any stock falls more than -7% from the purchase price.

ARUN has slumped -18.2% off its 52-week high near recent chart lows in the $20 area, where further deterioration would raise greater concerns. Its 200 DMA line is the next chart important support level to watch. Since first featured at $12.71 in the February 22, 2010 mid-day report it has traded up as much as +104.5%. The number of top-rated funds owning an interest in its shares rose from 262 in Dec '09 to 403 in Dec '10, providing a nice reassurance with respect to the investment system's I criteria.  Return On Equity reported at 21% is above the 17% guideline, an encouraging sign. Management's 24% ownership interest keeps the directors' focus on maintaining and growing shareholder value.
