Rally Continues With Volume Higher Behind Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Stocks finished higher on Wednesday. The Dow was up 107 points to 20611. The S&P 500 added 11 points to 2349 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 36 points to 5819. Volume totals were higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, a sign of increasing institutional buying demand. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by nearly a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and by a 9-5 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 70 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 56 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange.

PICTURED: The Russell 2000 Small Cap Index rallied for a new record high with a 5th consecutive gain that puts the index up +2.9% year-to-date.

Leadership remains healthy as the major averages' (M criteria) have maintained an upward trend. New buying efforts should only be made in candidates with superior fundamental and technical characteristics. The Featured Stocks Page lists noteworthy high-ranked leaders.

The major averages advanced on Wednesday, notching fresh record highs for a fifth session amid stronger-than-expected economic data. A gauge of inflation showed that consumer prices rose 0.6% in January, the fastest pace in nearly four years. In the 12 months through January, the CPI expanded 2.5%, the biggest year-on-year gain since March 2012. Separately, retail sales increased 0.4%, following a solid 1% gain the previous month.

Seven of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 ended in positive territory. Health Care shares outperformed with Mylan (MYL +4.15%) rose. Financials continued their recent run of strength as Charles Schwab (SCHW +2.18%) rose Airline stocks led Industrials higher with Southwest Airlines (LUV +3.58%) rising. In the consumer space, Procter & Gamble (PG +3.71%) rose amid reports Nelson Peltz's firm disclosed a stake worth $5.3 billion in the company. Groupon (GRPN +22.75%) rallied after posting strong results in the quarter. Shares of American International Group (AIG -9.03%) fell hard as the insurer's net loss widened to $3.04 billion from $1.84 billion a year earlier.

Treasuries finished lower with the benchmark 10-year note down 8/32 to yield 2.50%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude lost 0.3% to $53.06/barrel. In FOREX, the Dollar Index fell 0.2%.

Financial, Retail, and Tech Groups Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.07%) and the Bank Index ($BKX +0.99%) rose and again underpinned the major indices' advance on Wednesday. A modest gain from the Retail Index ($RLX +0.62%) continued to help the market's positive bias. The tech sector again was led by the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +1.18%) while the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.62%) posted a smaller gain but the Networking Index ($NWX +0.00%) finished flat. Commodity-linked groups were weaker as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.24%), Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.45%), and the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.91%) each lost ground.

Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.24%) has been sputtering below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.
