Major Averages Ended Mixed With Lighter Volume Totals

The major indices finished mixed on Monday. The volume totals were reported much lighter than the prior session totals on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE, whereas Friday's totals were inflated by options expirations.  Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by about a 3-2 ratio on the NYSE but advancers led decliners by a very narrow margin on the Nasdaq exchange. The total number of new 52-week highs again exceeded new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 59 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from the prior session total of 40 stocks. At Monday's close there gains for 12 of the 15 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

 

Enthusiasm over the support for Greek austerity measures quickly faded after Spanish bond yields climbed to a euro-era record, which sparked fears that the nation will need external funding. Improved economic data was largely overlooked as the NAHB's housing market sentiment index showed homebuilder confidence climbed to a five-year high of 29 in June from a revised 28 in the prior month. Investors will also watch the G20 summit as world leaders discuss ways to help boost the global recovery with possible stimulus measures.  Investors cheered reports that major central banks are preparing a coordinated action to provide liquidity in an effort to improve lending conditions. The Federal Reserve Board meets Tuesday and Wednesday.

Financials were hit the hardest by the lingering euro zone fears. Morgan Stanley (MS -3.36%), Bank of America Corp (BAC -1.77%) and Citigroup Inc (C -2.68%) fell.

Technically, the major averages (M criteria) have confirmed a new rally attempt and fact-based investors may carefully begin with new buying efforts strictly in sound buy candidates near proper entry points. Any distribution days immediately afterward could quickly destroy a new rally. As always, disciplined investors limit losses if any stock ever falls more than -7% from its purchase price.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average has rallied to its downward sloping 50-day moving average (DMA) line. Its ability to make progress above that important short-term average would be a reassuring sign for the current rally.

Retail, Gold & Silver, Medical and Tech Shares Rose

The  Retail Index ($RLX +1.10%) and Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +1.83%) posted solid gains. The Healthcare Index ($HMO +0.42%) and the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.68%) also rose, and other tech sector indices traded up including the Internet Index ($IIX +0.80%), Networking Index ($NWX +0.95%), and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +1.44%). Meanwhile, financial shares lost ground as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.18%) and Bank Index ($BKX -0.45%) fell.  Energy-related shares were standout decliners on Monday as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.26%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.92%) suffered losses. 

Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Networking Index ($NWX +0.95%) is consolidating well below its 50-day and 200-day moving average lines. The poor action in the group is a negative indication for individual networking issues.

New Pivot Point Cited After Orderly Consolidation

Transdigm Group Inc (TDG +$2.72 or +2.19% to $127.00) has been consolidating above important support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line while perched within close striking distance of its all-time high. Its color code was changed to yellow with a new pivot point cited based on its 5/08/12 high plus 10 cents. The annotated chart below illustrates that it has endured some recent distributional pressure, and patient investors will watch to see signs of fresh institutional accumulation. Volume-driven gains above the pivot point may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal.

Its prior low ($118.43 on 5/18/12) defines the next important near-term chart support level to watch below its 50 DMA line. The high-ranked Aerospace/Defense firm's last appearance in this FSU section was on 5/23/12 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Prior Highs and 50-Day Moving Average Acted as Support". It had failed to break out when an advanced "3-weeks tight" base pattern had recently been cited. After finding support near the 50 DMA line, volume-driven gains in April and May lifted it to new high territory before it began its current 7-week consolidation.

The number of top-rated funds owning its share rose from 364 in Mar '11 to 420 in Mar '12, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria.  It reported earnings +72% on +39% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. That marked another increase in a streak of accelerating earnings comparisons above the +25% minimum guideline for earnings growth (solidly satisfying the C criteria). Its strong annual earnings history also satisfies the A criteria. In recent years it had rebounded and rallied to new highs following a deep consolidation after it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list 1/17/08. Members may review prior analysis via the "view all notes" link on any stocks highlighted in CANSLIM.net reports.


Color Codes Explained :
Y - Better candidates highlighted by our staff of experts.
G - Previously featured in past reports as yellow but may no longer be buyable under the guidelines.

Y - Gapped up today, hitting a 52-week high, rising from an 9-week cup-shaped base without a handle. Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 4/19/12 high plus 10 cents. It stayed well above its 50 DMA line during the latest consolidation. Reported earnings +113% on +61% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Its streak of 3 strong quarterly earnings comparisons now satisfies the C criteria. A downturn in FY '09 earnings is a small flaw in its annual earnings (A criteria) history. Gapped up on 4/17/12 for a new all-time high following an analyst upgrade. Top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 108 in Jun '11 to 177 in Mar '12 a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.
