Major Averages Rose With Lighter Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major averages finished higher on Tuesday's session. The volume totals were reported lighter than the prior trading session's volume totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, so the institutional crowd was not increasing their buying efforts. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by about 3-1 on the NYSE and 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 7 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 a total of 2 stocks on the prior session. The list of stocks hitting new 52-week lows outnumbered new highs on the NYSE while new highs outnumbered new lows on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 11 of the 15 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page. The Market (M criteria) has encountered distributional pressure and leadership (stocks hitting new highs) has waned, earning the label of being in another "correction". Such weakness serves as a reminder for investors to use caution and remain disciplined in following proper sell rules under the fact-based investment system to reduce market exposure.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 90 points to 15,928, snapping a five-session losing streak. The S&P 500 added more than 10 points to 1,792 and the NASDAQ ended higher by 14 points with the index at 4,097.

Stocks managed to pare their recent declines as investors looked to make moves ahead of the conclusion of the Fed's 2-day policy meeting. Focus will be on Wednesday's FOMC statement at 2PM ET and if the central bank will announce further reductions in asset purchases.

Most sectors on the S&P ended higher. Health care stocks showed strength with shares of Pfizer Inc (PFE +2.56%), rallying after posting a better-than-expected profit tally. American Airlines Group Inc(AAL +5.9%) rose following their quarterly report. On the downside, Apple (AAPL -7.99%) as the company posted quarterly iPhone sales below analysts' estimates.

Turning to fixed income markets, Treasuries were little changed along the curve. The benchmark 10-year note was up 1/32 to yield 2.75% and the 30-year bond gave up 1/8 of a point to yield 3.67%.

Investors should be watchful for any individual issues flashing technical sell signals. The CANSLIM.net Featured Stocks Page shows the most action-worthy candidates and their latest notes and a Headline Link directs members to the latest detailed analysis with data-packed graphs annotated by a Certified expert along with links to additional resources. The Premium Member Homepage includes "dynamic archives" to all prior pay reports published. Watch for an announcement via email concerning the next WEBCAST.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average violated its 50-day moving average (DMA) line with volume-driven losses. The damaging losses are viewed as a worrisome sign that the market conditions are eroding, further reminding investors to stand ready to reduce their market exposure.

Financial, Retail, Tech, and Commodity-Linked Groups Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Financial shares helped underpin the major averages' gains on Tuesday as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.39%) and the Bank Index ($BKX +0.88%) rose. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +1.75%) outpaced energy-related shares as the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.40%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.76%) posted modest gains. The Retail Index ($RLX +0.64%), Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.43%), and the Networking Index ($NWX +0.55%) rounded out the mostly positive session with modest gains.

PICTURED: The Biotechnology Index ($BTK +1.84%) is consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Relative Strength Rating Wanes While Slumping on Higher Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
NIC Inc. (EGOV -$0.49 or -2.18% to $21.99) is still quietly sputtering below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and its Relative Strength (RS) rating has fallen to 73, below the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates. A rally above recent resistance in the $25-26 area is needed for its technical stance to turn bullish. Above average volume was behind its slump below the recent low ($22.17 on 12/16/13), a sign further deterioration raising greater concerns. It was last shown in this FSU section on 12/27/13 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Rebounded Above 50-Day Average; Relative Strength Rating Waned".

EGOV needs to rebound above its 50 DMA line for its outlook to improve. Subsequent gains for new highs may offer proof of fresh institutional buying demand that could lead to a sustained and meaningful advance in price. EGOV made only limited progress since highlighted in the 10/18/13 mid-day report (read here) in yellow with an annotated daily graph. One flaw that has developed is that its Relative Strength (RS) rating has slumped to 73, below the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates. The stock has earned a high 98 Earnings Per Share (EPS) rating. The company recently reported earnings +44% on +15% sales revenues for the Sep '13 quarter, marking its 4th consecutive quarter with earnings above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). However, it was previously noted - "Blue triangles beside the quarterly and annual earnings figures within the datagraphs used by CANSLIM.net experts indicate pre-tax, non-recurring items were included (where possible, such items are normally removed to provide data better suited for comparison)."

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 223 in Dec '12 to 261 in Dec '13, a somewhat reassuring trend concerning the I criteria. The Computer - Tech Services group has a 93 Group Relative Strength Rating, encouraging news concerning the L criteria. Its small supply of only 65 million shares (S criteria) outstanding can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. Its Accumulation/Distribution rating has also slumped to E, the worst possible rating.

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.
