New Rally Effort Worthy of Note - Watch For Leadership
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
With Friday's gains the major averages recovered from the selloff at the start of the week to finish in positive territory. For the five day period, the Dow was up +0.6%, the S&P 500 gained +0.8% and the NASDAQ rose +0.5%. Friday's volume totals were reported higher than the prior trading session's volume totals on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE, suggesting that institutional buying demand increased behind the gains. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 3-1 ratio on the NYSE and by more than 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 28 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 16 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 9 of the 10 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page, a list that has recently been waning. The Market (M criteria) has a nascent rally attempt under way. Remember that for any rally to be sustained it is critical for there to be "healthy" leadership - many stocks hitting new 52-week highs.
The major averages finished the first week of February on a positive note. The Dow rose 166 points to 1,5794. The S&P 500 advanced 24 points to 1,797. The NASDAQ closed 69 points higher at 4,125.
The major averages rallied on Friday as investors weighed the updates on the employment situation. Before the open, the Labor Department reported nonfarm payrolls grew 113,000 in January, below projections for a gain of 180,000. The unemployment rate declined to 6.6%, its lowest reading since October 2008.
Among scheduled earnings releases, Expedia (EXPE +14.3%) as quarterly results topped estimates. Shares of LinkedIn (LNKD -6.2%) retreated after providing revenue guidance below forecasts.
Friday's advance was broad based with all 10 sectors in the S&P 500 up on the session. Health care, industrials and technology were the best performing groups. Celgene (CELG +4.7%). Boeing (BA +3.6%) Apple (AAPL +1.4%) after the company said it recently repurchased $14 billion of its shares.
Treasuries snapped a three-day decline with the 10-year note up 5/32 to yield 2.68%.
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 Nasdaq Composite Index posted a big +1.7% gain to close well above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. The gains may be considered a follow-through day if one is willing to overlook the fact that Wednesday's intra-day lows undercut the "Day 1" session's lows which usually is considered the end of any rally attempt. Prior commentaries published here pointed out that Wedneday'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. Use caution and remain disciplined in following proper sell rules under the fact-based investment system.

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

The Retail Index ($RLX +1.63%) and energy-related shares had a positive bias as the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.21%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +1.39%) rose.

Leader Still Extended From Any Sound Base
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
E Q T Midstream Partners (EQM -$0.08 or -0.12% to $65.00) touched a new 52-week high today. It is extended from any sound base pattern. Prior highs in the $56 area define support to watch on pullbacks. Its last appearance in this FSU section was on 1/17/14 under the headline, "Extended From Base After Six Consecutive Weekly Gains". It was highlighted in yellow in the 12/12/13 mid-day report (read here) with new pivot point cited based on its 11/18/13 high plus 10 cents.
Patient investors may watch for a new base or secondary buy point to possibly develop and be noted in the weeks ahead. Recently it reported earnings +50% on +33% sales revenues for the Sep '13 quarter, continuing its strong earnings history (good C and A criteria). It completed a new Public Offering on 7/16/13, then made gradual progress afterward. This MLP in the Natural Gas business has seen the number of top-rated funds owning its shares rise from 20 in Jun '12 to 49 in Dec '13, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.7 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.

Y - Holding its ground at its 52-week high following a "breakaway gap" on the prior session new all-time highs. 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.

Recent low ($1,103.90 on 2/05/14) defines near-term support to watch where further deterioration would raise greater concerns.
