Nasdaq Challenging High From Early May After Eight Straight Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Nasdaq Composite Index rallied +1.36% on Thursday and extended its winning streak to eight sessions. Volume totals were reported higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, a sign indicating a pick up in institutional buying demand for stocks. Advancing issues beat decliners by more than 3-1 on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the Nasdaq exchange and the NYSE. There was an expansion to 160 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from the total of 109 on the prior session. There were 12 gainers out of the 16 high-ranked leaders currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.
The major stock averages rallied on encouraging news about employment and retail sales. The government said first-time claims for jobless benefits fell last week to the lowest level in seven weeks. A survey from ADP showed private-sector jobs rose by 157,000 in June, more than doubling estimates. The reports raised expectations for a solid payrolls report on Friday.
Monthly sales results from retailers showed strong improvements in June. Target Corp (TGT +6.67%), Limited Brands, Inc (LTD +2.67%) and Hot Topic (HOTT +13.12%) each reported same-store sales that topped estimates.
Energy stocks including Haliburton Co (HAL +3.11%) benefited from a rally in oil prices as crude jumped back above $98 a barrel. Gold prices rose as the European Central Bank raised interest rates for the second time this year.
The strength in stocks and expansion in the new 52-week highs list have been noted as encouraging signs for growth-oriented investors who might cautiously look to accumulate ideal buy candidates.
Our July 2011 issue of CANSLIM.net News is due to be released soon with a comprehensive summary of current market conditions that further clarifies matters concerning the M criteria! The Q2 2011 CANSLIM.net Webcast is available "ON DEMAND" now to UPGRADED MEMBERS ONLY - (CLICK HERE).
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index finished the session less than one point below its best close of the year with near average volume behind its 8th consecutive gain.

Retail, Financial, and Tech Shares Enjoy Broad Rally
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Bank Index ($BKX +1.66%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.31%) contributed to Thursday's broad-based rally while notching influential gains. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +2.09%), Networking Index ($NWX +2.25%), and Internet Index ($IIX +1.37%) set a strong pace for the tech sector, meanwhile the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.59%) created a drag and the Healthcare Index ($HMO -0.18%) also finished lower. Commodity-linked groups added to the session's positive bias as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +1.00%), Oil Services Index ($OSX +1.05%), and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +1.54%) posted gains.
Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The 2-year chart Retail Index ($RLX +2.36%) illustrates the rally to a new high from recent lows near its 200-day moving average (DMA) line. It went through a deeper correction in 2010, while this latest correction was brief and less damaging, technically.

Perched Near Pivot Point After Eight Consecutive Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Edwards Lifesciences Cp (EW +$0.24 or +0.26% to $91.09) is a Medical - Products firm challenging its 52-week and all-time highs while posting its 8th consecutive small gain today backed by +28% above average volume. It was featured in yellow in the 7/06/11 mid-day report (read here) with an annotated daily graph while wedging above its pivot point of $90.48 based on its 5/19/11 high plus 10 cents. Disciplined investors would note that a volume driven gain and strong close above its pivot point may trigger a technical buy signal, but it is still too early to say whether that critical proof of new heavy buying demand will show up and confirm a proper buy signal. Volume should be a minimum of +40-50% above average behind a breakout, ideally much heavier, such as several times an average daily volume total.
Recent quarterly comparisons showed accelerating sales revenues and earnings increases, and it has maintained a slow steady annual earnings (A criteria) history. The weekly graph below shows that the number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 793 in Dec '10 to 850 Mar '11, a sign of institutional buying demand (the I criteria).

Y - Pulling back below its "max buy" level with today's loss on higher volume, and its color code is changed to yellow. Approximately 40% of successful breakouts pull back and test support at old highs after a breakout before continuing higher. CACC triggered a technical buy signal with its rally above its pivot point backed by +52% above average volume on 6/30/11. Prior highs in the $80-82 area define initial support to watch on pullbacks.

Color code was changed to yellow in the 7/06/11 mid-day report. A volume-driven gain above its pivot point is still needed to trigger a new technical buy signal. This long-ago featured Computer Software - Medical firm's earnings and sales increases in the recent quarterly comparisons showed acceleration. It has also maintained a steady and strong annual earnings history (A criteria).
