Leadership Waned While Major Averages Rose on Mixed Volume Totals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major averages posted gains on Tuesday's session, however it was not a convincing follow-through day. Volume totals were reported mixed, higher on the Nasdaq exchange and lower on the NYSE versus the prior session. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 3-1 ratio on the NYSE and by more than 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. The total number of new 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the Nasdaq exchange for a 5th consecutive session, however new lows outnumbered new highs on the NYSE. Only 13 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, down from the prior session total of 41 stocks. At Tuesday's close there were gains for 13 of the 14 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.
Stocks were choppy in early morning trading after Fitch Ratings cut the long-term credit rating of 18 Spanish banks and warned that the country would fall short of their budget targets. Despite this, stocks regained their footing, paring most of Monday's losses.
All 10 sectors on the S&P ended in the green, led by a rally in material and industrial stocks. Shares of Alcoa Inc (AA +2.47%) and Caterpillar Inc (CAT +2.18%) gained ground. Financials also showed strength throughout the session with Bank of America Corp (BAC +2.88%) and Citigroup Inc (C +4.31%) rose. A rebound in crude oil prices helped lift the energy sector as Exxon Mobile Corp (XOM +1.23%) posted a gain. On the earnings front, Michael Kors Holdings Ltd (KORS +7.65%) closed higher after the company topped analysts' expectations in their quarterly profit tally.
In bondland, Treasuries were lower along the curve. The benchmark 10-year note gave up 11/16 to yield 1.67% and the 30-year bond fell over a point to yield 2.77%.
Technically, the gains by the major averages on Tuesday's session were not big enough percentage-wise, and lighter volume on the NYSE and below average volume totals on both major exchanges gave another key indication that the rally attempt remains suspect while it is also lacking the robust leadership (expansion in stocks hitting new 52-week highs) to be considered a valid follow-through day (FTD).
The major averages (M criteria) are technically still considered to be in a rally attempt within an ongoing correction, and stocks may still be vulnerable to greater downside. Historical studies suggest that the most constructive market rallies produced a solid follow-through day (FTD) between Days 4-7 of a new rally effort. Gains of +1.4% or greater by at least one of the major indexes should be backed by higher volume (preferably above average volume) coupled with an expansion in the number of stocks hitting new highs. Only fresh technical proof may give fact-based investors the clearance to begin with new buying efforts strictly in sound buy candidates. Meanwhile, investors should keep up a watchlist of worthy buy candidates while remaining protective of capital.
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is still awaiting confirming gains on higher volume after Day 6 of its rally attempt.

Four Secondary Offerings in Past Year for Discount Retailer
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Dollar General Corp (DG +$0.15 or +0.30% to $50.33) finished the session at a best-ever close today. It found support near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line again during the last pullback. It completed another Secondary Offering on 6/05/12, its 4th Secondary Offering since September '11. It recently reported earnings +31% on +13% sales revenues for the quarter ended April 30, 2012 versus the year ago period.
Poor action in the major averages (M criteria) has been an overriding concern that argued against new buying efforts since its last appearance in this FSU section with an annotated graph on 5/09/12 under the headline, "Market Weakness is an Overriding Concern". That appearance came shortly after it was highlighted in yellow in the 5/07/12 mid-day report (read here) with pivot point based on its 3/23/12 high plus 10 cents. It found support near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and continued higher.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 377 in Jun '11 to 662 in Mar '12, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Secondary Offerings were also completed on 9/08/11, 12/07/11, and 3/27/12. As previously noted, often times companies attract additional institutional interest with the help of underwriters when such offerings are completed.
It 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) have been noted as resembling past great winners.

Y - Touched a new 52-week high today and no resistance remains due to overhead supply. Technically it triggered a buy signal last week and it is approaching its "max buy" level, however the major averages (M criteria) also need to confirm a new rally with a solid follow-through day before any new buying efforts are justified under the fact-based investment system.

Y - The M criteria requires a FTD before any new buying efforts may be considered under the investment system's guidelines. Volume-driven gains above its pivot point are still needed to trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal.

Y - Still quietly consolidating above prior highs in the $48 area and above its 50 DMA line which coincide defining important chart support. Market conditions argue against new buying efforts until a FTD from at least one of the major averages confirms a new rally. Color code was changed to yellow while one may consider a secondary buy point from its successful test of the 10 week average up to +5% above the recent high. Disciplined investors always limit losses by selling if a stock falls more than -7% from their buy price.

Y - Quietly perched near its 52-week high with no resistance remaining due to overhead supply. Its 50 DMA line defines important near-term support. Confirming gains backed by higher volume, and a FTD from at least one of the major averages would be important and reassuring signs worth watching for.
