Rallying Major Indices Post 3rd Straight Weekly Gains

For the week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up +2.2%, the S&P 500 Index advanced +3.0% and the Nasdaq Composite index climbed +3.5%, collectively gaining ground for the third consecutive week. The volume totals cooled behind Friday's small gains, coming in lighter than the prior session volume totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was slightly positive as advancers led decliners by a narrow margin on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE. There were 107 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 147 stocks. The list of stocks hitting new 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange.  There were gains for 6 of the 11 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

 

The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 Index both ended the week at new all-time highs after returning to rally mode. The major averages finished in positive territory as investors weighed comments by members of the Fed. The market moved lower after Philadelphia President Charles Plosser said the central bank should begin tapering its asset purchases in September. Stocks recovered after St. Louis President James Bullard indicated the Fed should maintain its accommodative policy until inflation reaches its 2.0% target. On the economic front, producer prices rose +0.8% in June, more than the consensus projection to increase +0.5%. A separate report showed consumer confidence edged lower in July.

In earnings news, JP Morgan Chase & Co (JPM -0.31%) edged lower after posting quarterly results ahead of analyst estimates. Shares of United Parcel Service Inc (UPS -5.31%) fell on its reduced full year forecast. The Boeing Co (BA -4.69%) shares fell after a 787 Dreamliner caught fire at London's Heathrow Airport. Financials outperformed with Genworth Financial Inc (GNW +2.74%) among the group's solid gainers. Telecom was the worst performing sector with Verizon Communications Inc (VZ -1.56%) edging lower.

Treasuries declined with the 10-year note down 2/32 to yield 2.58%.

The market (M criteria) has flashed substantial strength and leadership on Thursday's session, making a favorable shift.  Now in a confirmed rally, odds are considered favorable for investors' success with new buying efforts.  Investors who have preserved their cash and confidence will be disciplined and selective while looking to be proactive and focused exclusively on the individual leaders best matching the winning models of the fact-based investment system.  Study the companies on the CANSLIM.net Featured Stocks Page - a page showing the most action-worthy candidates' latest notes and links to additional resources including detailed analysis with data-packed graphs which are annotated by a Certified expert.  The Premium Member Homepage - includes "dynamic archives" to all prior pay reports published.

Extended From Prior Base Following Gap Up Gains

S S & C Technologies Holdings, Inc  (SSNC +$0.92 or +2.55% to $36.97) gapped up again, rallying further above its "max buy" level today with lighter but still above average volume. Its color code was changed to green while getting extended from its prior base. Disciplined investors avoid chansing stock extended more than +5% above their prior highs. The stock convincingly cleared the pivot point based on its 5/08/13 high plus 10 cents which was cited in the 7/11/13 mid-day report (read here), triggering a technical buy signal while rising from an orderly base pattern formed above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.  The breakout gain was backed by +124% above average volume, well above the +40% above average volume threshold which is the bare minimum volume needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal.

SSNC completed another Secondary Offering on 5/09/13, while it was previously noted in the 5/20/13 mid-day report - "The high-ranked Computer Software - Financial firm completed previously noted Secondary Offerings on 3/14/13 and on 7/19/12."  New institutional owners are often attracted when a company has the help of underwriters in placing shares during offerings. 

It has earned high ranks due to its strong earnings history. The past 4 quarterly comparisons through Mar '13 showed earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) for buy candidates. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has also been very strong. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 260 in Dec' 12 to 287 in Jun '13, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria of the fact-based investment system. Its small supply of only 39.1 million shares in the publicly traded float can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling pressure.  The Computer Software - Financial industry group currently has a B- Rating, and leadership among other individual issues in the group is a reassuring sign concerning the L criteria.


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.
