Major Averages Rallied Above Respective 50-Day Moving Average Lines
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
On Tuesday all three major averages rallied above their respective 50-day moving average (DMA) lines helping their technical stance. The volume totals were reported higher than the prior session totals on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE, a sign of greater buying conviction coming into stocks from the institutional crowd. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than 5-1 ratio on the NYSE and more than 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. The total number of new 52-week highs swelled and easily exceeded new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 84 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, versus the prior session total of 59 stocks. At the session's close there gains for 13 of the 15 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.
The rally was buoyed by hopes for additional stimulus measures, ahead of the conclusion of the Federal Reserve's two day meeting. U.S. economic data provided a mixed picture. Housing starts came in short of expectations in May, but the upward revision to April's reading eased the impact. Housing Permits topped projections. In addition, some euro zone concerns eased to add to the positive tone as Spanish bond yields declined after a solid bill auction and European creditors prepared to ease Greece's bailout terms.
All sectors saw green. Materials led the push higher as crude oil advanced and copper extended its longest rally in seven weeks. Shares of Alcoa Inc (AA +2.42%) and U.S. Steel Corp (X +9.45%) rallied. FedEx Corp (FDX +2.82%) initially lost ground after posting disappointing full-year guidance, but rebounded to gain ground after saying it plans to restructure its express business. Tech stocks were also showing strength. Microsoft Corp (MSFT +2.88%) advanced after the company introduced their new touch screen tablet computers. On the earnings front, Oracle (ORCL +3.10%) was in the green after the company posted a better-than-expected profit tally in a surprise earnings release after Monday's closing bell. Fellow techie Adobe Systems Inc (ADBE +0.80%) was scheduled to post its tally after the closing bell.
In bondland, Treasury prices experienced their first decline in three sessions with the 10-year note down 12/32 to yield 1.62% and the 30-year bond lost nearly a full point and half to yield 2.73%.
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. As always, disciplined investors limit losses if any stock ever falls more than -7% from its purchase price.

PICTURED: The benchmark S&P 500 Index rallied above its downward sloping 50-day moving average (DMA) line with its 4th consecutive gain. Progress above that important short-term average is a reassuring sign for the current rally.

Widespread Gains Lift Every Industry Group Again
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Best Close of 2012 After No New Base Was Formed
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Netease.com Inc (NTES +$2.80 or +4.58% to $63.87) rallied today for its best 2012 close with a 4th consecutive gain. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line defines near-term support and prior lows near the $55 area define the next important chart support to watch where violations may trigger a worrisome technical sell signals. It has not formed a sound base pattern. No overhead supply remains to act as resistance, however it has made only limited price progress above its 2011 highs in the $55 area in recent months, including a time when market action was more favorable. It was featured in yellow at $56.18 in the 3/19/12 mid-day report (read here) with a pivot point based on its 4/19/11 high plus 10 cents.
Its last appearance in this FSU section was on 5/24/12 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Distributional Pressure a Problem After Limited Progress". The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 237 in Dec '11 to 250 in Mar '12, a somewhat reassuring improvement concerning the I criteria. Fundamentals remain healthy as it reported earnings +33% on +36% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Its good earnings history satisfies the C and A criteria.

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.

Y - Rallying today within close striking distance of a best-ever close. Found support above prior highs in the $48 area and above its 50 DMA line. 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. >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 6/4/2012.
