Major Averages Ended Mixed Again With Lighter Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
On Wednesday the major averages again ended mixed and little changed. The volume totals were reported lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by nearly 3-2 on the Nasdaq exchange and by a narrower 8-7 margin on the NYSE. The total number of stocks hitting new 52-week highs easily outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. New 52-week lows totals were in the single digits on both exchanges. There were 51 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List making new 52-week highs and appearing on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, down from the prior session total of 59 stocks. Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of companies hitting new 52-week highs, so it remains encouraging to see solid leadership. There were unanimous losses for the 9 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page, disconcertingly weak action versus the broader market yet again.
Uncertainty kept the market from making headway as investors weighed concerns over global growth against the latest economic data and bank earnings. The market opened lower after the World Bank on Tuesday cut its 2013 global growth forecast to 2.4% from 3.0%. Economic reports showed consumer prices were unchanged while industrial production rose +0.3% in December. The Fed's Beige Book survey revealed business activity expanded at a moderate pace.
On the earnings front, The Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS +4.06%) and JP Morgan Chase & Co (JPM +1.01%) rose after reporting better-than-expected quarterly results. Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG -5.51%) slumped after issuing preliminary fourth-quarter earnings below expectations. Technology was the best performing group with Apple Inc (AAPL +4.15%) climbing. Hewlett-Packard Co (HPQ +4.11%) rose following a report the company received interest from potential buyers for two of its businesses. Shares of Boeing Co (BA -3.38%) declined amid safety concerns surrounding its Dreamliner 787 aircraft.
The 10-year note was up 3/16 to yield 1.81%.
Investors may consider new buying efforts in stocks meeting all key criteria, as the market's (M criteria) confirmed uptrend showed a great expansion in leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) after overcoming recent pressure. Solid gains helped the benchmark S&P 500 Index promptly rebound above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line, and Nasdaq Composite Index and Dow Jones Industrial Average both promptly rebounded above their respective 50 DMA and 200 DMA lines. All of the major averages then blasted above their December highs with additional volume-driven gains.
Watch for an announcement via email concerning the next WEBCAST. The webcast will also be available via an updated link highlighted at the top of the Premium Member Homepage.
PICTURED: The S&P Small-Cap 600 Index recently rallied to new all-time highs, which bodes well for the broader market outlook.

Bank, Semiconductor, and Energy-Related Indexes Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Bank Index ($BKX +0.43%) posted a modest gain, however small losses from the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.21%) and Retail Index ($RLX -0.17%) limited the major averages' ability to rally. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +1.15%) tried to lead the tech sector higher, but the Networking Index ($NWX +0.13%) and Internet Index ($IIX -0.02%) finished virtually unchanged and the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.60%) edged lower. Energy-related shares had a slightly positive bias as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.23%) and Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.74%) posted modest gains. Meanwhile, defensive groups showed modest weakness as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.67%) and Healthcare Index ($HMO -0.40%) both edged lower.

Extended From Base After Prior Highs Acted as Support
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Neustar Inc (NSR -$0.19 or -0.43% to $44.35) is perched at its 52-week high today, extended from its prior base. Prior highs and its 50-day moving average (DMA) line coincide near $41 defining chart support to watch on pullbacks. Leadership from other high-ranked leaders in the Telecom - Infrastructure group is a reassuring sign (concerning the L criteria). Its Group Relative Strength Rating has improved to a 86 from a 79 rating since since it was last shown in this FSU section on 1/02/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Held Ground Following Prior Breakout; Getting Extended Now", as it rallied above its "max buy" level with a volume-driven gain.
Disciplined investors know to avoid chasing extended stocks more than +5% above their pivot point, and they always sell if ever any stock falls more than -7% from their purchase price to properly manage risk under the fact-based system's guidelines. Its 12/11/12 gain on heavy volume +172% above average clinched a technical buy signal. It rose from a 10-week base during which it found support at its 200-day moving average (DMA) line. Prior highs and its 50 DMA line acted as support while investors may have accumulated shares before rallying further into new high territory.
Quarterly comparisons through Sep '12 showed 3 consecutive increases of more than the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 400 in Mar '12 to 408 in Dec '12, a slightly reassuring trend concerning the I criteria. Its Return On Equity is reported at 29%, well above the 17% minimum guideline. Its small supply of 66 million shares (S criteria) outstanding can lead to greater price volatility if the institutional crowd rushes to accumulate shares, or if they decide to leave.

G - Hit another new 52-week high today while on track for its 11th consecutive gain, very extended from its prior base. Having quickly rallied more than +20% in the first 2-3 weeks after a breakout, the investment system rules suggest holding such winners for a minimum of 8 weeks.

Y - Hovering quietly above its pivot point and near its 52-week high today. Volume behind recent gains was below the +40% above average volume guideline which is the bare minimum threshold needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal. Disciplined investors may use a tactic called "pyramiding" to allow market action to dictate their positioning.
