New Highs List Expanded as Indices Rose With Less Volume Convition
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major averages rallied on Thursday's session. The volume totals was reported lighter than the prior trading session's volume totals on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE, suggesting that institutional buying demand was not behind the gains. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by a 3-1 ratio on the NYSE and by almost 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 16 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 6 stocks on the prior session. The list of stocks hitting new 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE, an encouraging improvement. There were gains for 7 of the 12 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page, a list that has recently been waning. 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 climbed 188 points to 15,628. The S&P 500 gained 22 points to 1,773. The NASDAQ climbed 46 points to close at 4,057.
The major averages finished higher to pare this week’s retreat following an encouraging weekly jobless claims report. The release by the Labor Department showed first time filings for unemployment benefits declined to 331,000 from a revised prior reading of 351,000. Stocks also gained ahead of Friday's jobs report. Non-farm payrolls likely rose 180,000 in January, while the unemployment held steady at 6.7%.
On the earnings front, Walt Disney (DIS +5.30%) rose as quarterly results topped projections. Twitter (TWTR -24.16%) dove after reporting a larger-than-expected loss and slowing user growth.
Gains were broad-based with nine of 10 sectors in the S&P 500 up on the session. Consumer discretionary and materials were the top performing groups. O’Reilly’s Automotive (ORLY +9.04%) and Cliffs Natural Resources (CLF +8.22%) posted big gains. Shares of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR +26.24%) surged after Coca-Cola (KO +1.12%) agreed to buy a 10% stake in the company.
Treasuries declined for a third straight session. Benchmark 10-year notes fell 8/32 to yield 2.70%.
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 Industrrial Average posted a big gain to close well above its 200-day moving average (DMA) line. The gains marked Day 1 of a new rally attempt, since prior session's lows undercut Tuesday's lows for all of the major indices. Under the fact-based investment system it is most ideal for at least one of the major averages to produce as solid follow-through day (FTD) of big gains on higher volume between Days 4-7 of a new rally effort. Tuesday could be the earliest session for the market to produce such a convincing FTD which could give investors a green light to again get proactive on new buying effforts. Meanwhile, patience and discipline may be critical to investors' success.

Volume Totals Cooling While Holding Ground at Highs
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Facebook Inc (FB -$0.03 or -0.05% to $62.16) has seen volume totals cooling while remaining perched very near its all-time highs. It reported earnings +82% on +63% sales revenues for the Dec '13 quarter and then gapped up and hit a new 52-week high. That marked its 3rd quarterly comparison with earnings above the +25% minimum (C criteria). Sequential acceleration in quarterly sales and strong earnings increases helps it look like a better match with the fact-based investment system's winning models.
It found support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line during its latest consolidation. Market conditions still argue against new buying efforts until a follow through day (FTD) of gains from at least one of the major averages confirms a new rally. One may consider a valid secondary buy point from FB's successful test of the 10 week average up to +5% above the recent high ($59.31 on 1/22/14) or $62.28 in this case. FB was last shown in this FSU section on 1/15/14 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Following New Offering Prior Highs Acted As Support". It rallied from a 9-week cup shaped base without a handle after completing a Public Offering on 12/20/13. In the 12/12/13 mid-day report (read here) it was highlighted in yellow with a pivot point cited based on its 10/18/13 high plus 10 cents while noted with caution - "Disciplined investors may watch for subsequent volume-driven gains above its pivot point which are necessary to trigger a proper technical buy signal."
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,116 in Dec '12 to 1,715 in Dec '13, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Keep in mind that its large supply of 2.54 billion shares in the public float makes it an unlikely sprinter, especially as it is already well known by the institutional crowd and the general public.

Reported strong +73% earnings on +59% sales revenues for the Dec '13 quarter, continuing its strong earnings record. Color code was changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 12/19/13 high plus 10 cents. Considerable volume-driven gain triggered a technical buy signal, however the broader market (M criteria) environment still argues for caution until at least one of the major averages produces a solid follow-through day of gains on higher volume.
