Dow Perched Near Complete Recovery to 2007 High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major averages finished mostly higher in another quiet trading session Tuesday's volume totals were reported slightly higher on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by nearly a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 3-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. The total number of stocks hitting new 52-week highs easily outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 66 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List making new 52-week highs and appearing on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, versus the prior session total of 60 stocks. There were gains for 6 of the 13 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

At 9PM EST Tuesday, President Obama will deliver his legislative priorities for the fifth time, amid the looming March 1st budget sequester. Investors will be focused on comments surrounding the looming automatic spending cuts. On the economic front, the NFIB small business optimism index increased for a second month in January. A separate report showed the U.S. government ran its first monthly budget surplus since September 2012 in January.

Nearly all sectors gained ground. Financials were leading gainers with both Citigroup Inc (C +2.78%) and Bank of America Corp (BAC +3.25%) trading up. Industrials were also notable performers, paced by Masco Corp (MAS +12.45%) as an improving housing market led to a better-than-expected profit tally. Telecommunication stocks paced the advance as Sprint Nextel Corp (S +2.07%) and AT&T Inc (T +1.05%) rose. On the downside, a retreat in The Coca-Cola Co (KO -2.72%) dragged consumer staples lower after the company posted a weak revenue tally. Losses in technology also limited gains as Apple Inc (AAPL 2.51%) and Qualcomm Inc (QCOM -1.93%) lost ground.

In fixed-income, Treasuries were lower after a government auction of 3-year notes. The 10-year note was down 3/32 to yield 1.97% and the 30-year bond lost 7/32 to yield 3.18%.

The latest rally has produced a few action worthy candidates meeting all of the fact-based investment system's criteria. Selectivity and discipline are required, as always. Investors may consider new buying efforts in stocks meeting all key criteria, as the market's (M criteria) confirmed uptrend has been comprised by great leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) in the broader market. Widespread gains helped all of the major averages blast higher, and the benchmark S&P 500 Index is perched at its best level in more than five years and off its October 2007 all-time high.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 47 points to 14,018 and finished back above the psychologically important 14,000 level. It now stands about -1% below its all-time high of October 2007 while up +7% year-to-date after steadily rallying +12.4% from its November 2012 lows. Subsequent gains into new all-time high territory may help the broader market gain more momentum as headlines may attract greater interest in stocks overall.

Financial Group and Broader Group Gains Underpinned Market
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.73%) lagged the tech sector as it lost ground while the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.24%), Internet Index ($IIX +0.28%), and the Networking Index ($NWX +0.37%) each posted a modest gain. The defensive groups edged higher as the Healthcare Index ($HMO +0.76%) and Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.87%) tallied gains. The financial group underpinned the market's gains as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.02%) and Bank Index ($BKX +1.05%) posted better than +1% gains. The Retail Index ($RLX +0.33%) edged higher and a positive bias in energy-related shares lifted both the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.33%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.35%).

Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The 3-year graph of the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.02%) shows it now nearly challenging its 2012 high after a strong start for 2013. Meanwhile, it currently sits -16.8% off its 2011 high.

Violation of 50-Day Moving Average Came With Heavy Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Rentech Nitrogen Ptnr LP (RNF -$1.93 or -4.42% to $41.72) fell today on heavier volume 4 times above average. After a weak finish on the prior session it gapped down and undercut its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($42.34 now) with a volume-driven loss and weak finish raising serious concerns and triggering a technical sell signal. A prompt sign of support would be an encouraging sign, however it could spend a lot of time consolidating and doing some new base building. Meanwhile, it faces resistance due to overhead supply up through the $49 level that could hinder its progress, especially versus any other fresh breakout which may show up. Prior highs near $41 may act as support, however any deeper losses would raise more serious concerns and trigger additional worrisome sell signals. It next earnings report is scheduled for Tuesday, March 19, 2013.

It was last shown in this FSU section on 1/24/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Distributional Pressure After Getting Extended From Ideal Buy Range". It subsequently rallied for new 52-week highs but then it stalled without making meaningful headway above prior highs in the $48 area. It was previously noted with caution - "The number of top-rated funds owning its shares had fallen from 52 in Jun '12 to 36 as of Dec '12, a disconcerting sign concerning the I criteria.

Repeating a point emphasized in this FSU section - "Disciplined investors avoid chasing extended stocks more than +5% above their pivot point. Making sloppy buy decisions by chasing extended stocks invites a much greater chance that an ordinary consolidation might prompt investors to invoke the investment system's strict loss-limiting sell rule after a pullback of -7% or more from their purchase price."

Most Recent Note - 2/12/2013 12:33:10 PM Y - Reported earnings +129% on +70% sales revenues for the Dec '12 quarter versus the year ago period. Today's considerable "breakaway gap" for a new high with heavy volume while blasting above the pivot point triggered a convincing technical buy signal. As previously noted - "A breakaway gap has been noted as the one exception which allows for new buying efforts more than +5% above prior highs, however risk increases the further one chases any stock above prior highs." >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 2/7/2013.

Most Recent Note - 2/12/2013 1:50:54 PM G - Trading near its 50 DMA line ($66.17 now) today, where any more damaging losses may trigger a technical sell signal.

A "negative reversal" for a loss on heavy volume after hitting a new 52-week high on 1/25/13 was noted as a worrisome sign of distributional pressure as it failed to finish strong and did not clinch a technical buy signal. >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 1/25/2013.
