Major Averages Overcame Losses But Gains Lacked Volume

The major indices rebounded from negative territory on Monday, aside from the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which closed down 29 points to 13,008 after being down by as many as 68 points during the session.  The volume totals were reported lighter on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE versus the prior session, suggesting that the institutional crowd was not in a great buying mood while selling pressure subsided. Advancers led decliners by a narrow 8-7 ratio on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The total number of stocks hitting new 52-week highs still outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE, but on the Nasdaq exchange new lows again outnumbered new highs. There were 14 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, versus the prior session total of 12 stocks. The session concluded with gains for 10 of the 41 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

 

Wall Street opened with red screens as politic tensions in Europe prompted a return to safe haven assets. Concerns that Europe's debt crisis may intensify pushed markets lower and raised pressure on Germany to pursue a more growth-oriented approach to the crisis. However, German Chancellor Angela Merkel rejected additional government stimulus and reiterated her opposition to renegotiating the region’s fiscal treaty. France elected Francois Hollande as president and Greek voters turned to anti-bailout parties. Hollande called for higher taxes, increased spending and a delayed deficit-reduction effort, while Greece's poll casted doubt on whether the country can implement spending cuts.

Bank of America (BAC +2.84%) helped lead a rally in financials that spearheaded the reversal in market action as Warren Buffett said U.S. lenders have ample liquidity and are better off than their European rivals. 

First-quarter earnings season began to wind down and, according to Bloomberg, over 70% of S&P 500 Index companies have exceeded expectations. Among Monday's tallies, Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp (CTSH -19.18%) fell hard after cutting its full-year sales and earnings forecasts, meanwhile Dish Network Corp (DISH -1.21%) ended with a small loss despite topping profit estimates. Tyson Foods Inc (TSN +3.27%) gained the most in three months after topping earnings estimates and saying it expects to gain momentum in the coming months. After the closing bell, Electronics Arts (EA +0.07%) traded lower after it reported earnings that topped estimates but it provided a weaker outlook for the year.

Fears of lower demand pushed crude oil down to its lowest level this year, falling to $97.34 a barrel, finishing at a three-month low of $98.07 per barrel. Treasuries were higher ahead of this week's auction of $72 billion in 3-, 10-, and 30-year debt. The 10-year note's yield touched a three-month low, but pared gains finishing up 2/32 to yield 1.88%.

Stocks included on the Featured Stocks Page have high-ranks and the strongest characteristics, however they are not immune from abrupt declines, and this has proven especially true during the latest earnings season. Numerous examples have demonstrated that fundamental news (earnings announcements) can have a direct and immediate impact on any company's share price. Sharp pullbacks in recent leaders were noted as they dropped off the Featured Stocks list, including Body Central Inc (BODY), Herbalife Ltd (HLF), and Tempur Pedic International Inc (TPX). Each served as a vivid reminder to use caution - Investors should always be disciplined and watch for a proper technical buy signal to be confirmed before taking any action, then steadfastly protect capital by selling whenever any stock falls more than -7% from the purchase price.

Distributional action from the major averages' (M criteria) soon after the recently noted follow-through-day has quickly put the uptrend back under pressure yet again, and some would argue this is technically another market "correction".  Note that market leadership (stocks making new 52-week highs) has waned yet again, meanwhile, a healthy crop of leaders hitting new highs has been repeatedly noted as a critical component to any meaningful market rally. Disciplined investors know that following proper rules for buying and selling increases their likelihood of getting the "above average" gains they are seeking.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index made a stand near last week's low. Its 2011 highs define near-term chart support to watch after recently slumping under its 50-day moving average (DMA) line, raising concerns.

Banks and Medical Related Shares Offset Weakness Elsewhere

Commodity-linked groups had a slightly negative bias as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.56%) and Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.71%) ended with modest losses and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.06%) finished flat. The tech sector saw small losses from the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.26%), Internet Index ($IIX -0.18%), and Networking Index ($NWX -0.11%).  The Retail Index ($RLX -0.26%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.20%) also ended with small losses, meanwhile, a decent gain from the Bank Index ($BKX +0.95%) helped to offset broader market weakness. The Healthcare Index ($HMO +0.83%) also posted a gain while medical-related shares traded with a positive bias.

PICTURED: The Biotechnology Index ($BTK +3.41%) rallied near its 2011 high with a standout gain.

Hovering Near 52-week High After Another Good Earnings Report

Comcast Corp Cl A (CMCSA +$0.18 or +0.61% to $29.63) is holding its ground near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. In the 5/02/12 mid-day report it was highlighted in yellow with a pivot point cited based on its 3/27/12 high plus 10 cents after a flat base. Technically, its volume driven-gain on the prior session had just triggered a technical buy signal capping a streak of 6 consecutive gains with an above average volume gain as it hit a new 52-week high (N criteria) and traded above its 2007 high.

It recently reported earnings +25% on +23% sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. The 3 prior quarterly comparisons (through Dec '11) showed sales revenues increases above the year ago periods by +50%, and earnings increases were above the +25% guideline (C criteria) in 3 of the past 4 comparisons. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,916 in Jun '11 to 2,029 in Mar '12, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Leadership from other firms in the Telecom Services - Cable/Satellite industry group is a reassuring sign concerning the L criteria. Its huge supply of 2.085 billion shares in the float could make it less likely to be a great sprinter, meanwhile, the S criteria calls for investors to usually look at small-cap or mid-cap companies

Healthy stocks do not usually slump more than -7% below their pivot point in a bullish market environment.  Keep in mind that 3 out of 4 stocks follow along in the direction of the major averages (M criteria). In this case, subsequent losses below its recent low ($28.54 on 4/10/12) would raise concerns and trigger a technical sell signal.

Y - Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point based on its 3/23/12 high plus 10 cents. Technically, volume-driven gains last week helped it rally from a 5-week flat base. Found support at its 50 DMA line and continued higher since last noted on 3/29/12 after completing another Secondary Offering while perched at an all-time high - "Reported earnings +38% on +20% sales revenues for the quarter ended January 31, 2012 versus the year ago period, showing encouraging acceleration in sequential quarterly sales and earnings increases. Its fundamentals (C & A criteria) are now resembling past great winners, and patient investors may watch for secondary buy points to possibly develop and be noted. Gapped up today and hit a new all-time high with another volume-driven gain. Secondary Offerings were completed on 9/08/11 and on 12/07/11. Its 50 DMA line acted as a support level throughout its ongoing advance, however it is too extended from any sound base pattern to meet the fact-based system's technical guidelines for buy candidates.

Disciplined investors make sell decisions based upon technical action alone, whereas buy decisions are to be made only when both fundamental and technical criteria met.

The weakness hurt its technical stance and its color code is changed to green. It has encountered stubborn resistance in the $103-104 area. Due to report earnings on May 8, 2012 after the close.

Previously noted - "A volume-driven gain above its recent chart high ($25.49 on 3/21/12) may help trigger a proper technical buy signal after a new base formation, however no new (lower) pivot point is currently being cited, and it may continue encountering stubborn resistance."

Y - Volume totals have been cooling since its 4/27/12 gap up gain, and it is perched within close striking distance of its 52-week high. Found support at its 50 DMA line on the latest pullback. Color code was changed to yellow while rallying from its first test of its 10-week moving average (WMA) since breaking out above resistance in the $554 area in February. The 4/27/12 mid-day report noted - "In the Certification they teach that after an earlier breakout a secondary buy point exists between the first successful test of the 10 WMA up to +5% above its latest high. The 2-week consolidation is not considered a sound base pattern, yet the pivot point cited is based on that recent high. Prior mid-day reports noted - 'Technically, it broke out on 2/13/12 with a volume-driven gain, and now it is getting extended from its prior base. Fundamentals have remained strong since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 9/29/11. Patient investors may watch for secondary buy points to possibly develop and be noted.'"

Y - Holding its ground today following a gap up on the prior session. Color code was changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on the 52-week high plus 10 cents. Its finish near the prior session low indicated that it encountered resistance, and it still needs a strong finish above the pivot point cited to clinch a proper technical buy signal. Reported earnings +79% on +38% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

G - Rebounded from lows near its 50 DMA and managed a positive reversal today. Its consolidation is not a sufficient length to be considered a sound new base pattern. It already has tested support at its 10-week moving average line multiple times this year, so it may not be considered an ideal "secondary buy point" now.

G - Rebounding from earlier lows following a gap down today after reporting earnings +22% on +60% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Color code was changed to green based on fundamental and technical concerns after failing to break out from the previously noted "double bottom" base pattern. No recent buy signal was triggered. Sales revenues had shown impressive acceleration in the Jun, Sep, and Dec '11 quarterly comparisons with earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline in the Sep and Dec '11 comparisons. Deterioration below the recent low ($40.91 on 4/24/12) would raise more serious concerns.

G - Pulling back today after holding its ground last week. Quickly got extended from its prior base after it triggered a technical buy signal on 4/26/12 as it was featured in the mid-day report and noted - "Reported earnings +43% on +39% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. It held its ground stubbornly after violating its 50 DMA line when a damaging loss with above average volume triggered technical sell signals on 4/10/12 and it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list. Earnings below the +25% guideline for the Dec '11 quarter (+21%) had also raised fundamental concerns at that time, however the stock's resilience and impressive acceleration means that 3 of the past 4 quarterly comparisons are now above the minimum guideline concerning the C criteria. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong."

Y - Pulling back today near its "max buy" level following 3 consecutive volume-driven gains into new high territory. The 5/03/12 mid-day report noted - "Volume-driven gains this week have it rallying from a tight consolidation and "square box" base above its 50 DMA line. Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point based on its 4/03/12 high plus 10 cents. Hit a new 52-week high today with a gap up and considerable volume-driven gain, quickly getting extended from an ideal buy range. Technically, on 2/09/11 it broke out from a 15-week cup shaped base without a handle. The 4 latest quarterly comparisons showed earnings increases satisfying the C criteria and it has a good annual earnings (A criteria) history."
