Major Averages Closed Little Changed With Mixed Breadth
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

On Thursday the major averages closed with little to no gains. The volume totals were reported higher on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was slightly positive as advancers led decliners by a narrow margin on the NYSE and 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, and the new lows total was in the single digits on the NYSE. There were 86 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List making new 52-week highs and appearing on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from the prior session total of 83 stocks. There were gains for 8 of the 13 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

Disappointing economic growth reports offset an improved U.S. jobs picture and M&A activity. The euro zone recession deepened as GDP fell in the fourth-quarter by the most since 2009. Japan's economy also contracted in the final months of 2012 which prompted its central bank to maintain stimulus measures. On our shores, initial jobless claims fell the most in a month as applications dropped 27,000 to 341,000.

Energy was the best performing group. Halliburton Co (HAL +6.07%) and Schlumberger Ltd (SLB +3.73%) advanced. M&A activity helped consumer staples stage a rally. Constellation Brands (STZ +37.23%) after acquiring full control of U.S. distribution for Grupo Modelo's products. In addition, H.J. Heinz Co (HNZ +19.87%) shares were up after announcing it will be purchased by Berkshire Hathaway (BRKB +1.27%) and 3G Capital. Telecommunication shares fell amid a drop in CenturyLink Inc (CTL -22.6%) after the company cut its dividend by 26%.

In fixed-income, Treasuries were higher after a government auction of 30-year bonds saw solid demand. The 10-year note was up 16/32 to yield 2.00%.

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 just off its October 2007 all-time high.

Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Finish Near Session Lows Indicated Distributional Pressure Before Earnings News
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
B & G Foods Inc (BGS +$0.01 or +0.03% to $32.24) was highlighted in yellow with pending earnings news in the earlier mid-day report (read here) with a pivot point based on its 1/28/13 high as members were cautioned -"Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news." It hit a new 52-week high with volume running at an above average pace, however it finished the session flat and near the lower extreme of its intra-day range, a sign it was encountering distributional pressure. No overhead supply remains to act as resistance, however, it did not have the look of aggressive accumulation and heavy institutional buying demand.

After the close it reported eaernings +7% on +16% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 versus the year ago period. That was well below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) and it raises some concerns, fundamentally, for this leader in the "Food - Packaged" industry group. Prior to the sub par results, what made it a worthly candidate was the fact that the company had reported earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) in the past 3 quarterly comparisons through Sep '12. It also has a good annual earnings (A criteria) history. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares reportedly rose from 259 in Sep '12 to 267 in Dec '12, a slightly reassuring indication for the I criteria.

With the latest developments, disciplined investors might sooner consider looking at another high-ranked leader without fundamental flaws. Even if bullish action may follow this latest news, members should keep in mind that the fact-based investment system's big winning models were usually companies that had a hot new product or service which was in demand - directly impacting sales and earnings comparisons. Investors can sometimes avoid getting bit with losses when the price/volume action does not indictate undeniable accumulation by the institutional crowd confirming that an entry makes sense and odds are most favorable.

Most Recent Note - 2/14/2013 7:02:13 PM G - Volume totals have been cooling in recent weeks while it has stubbornly hovered near its all-time high, holding its ground. That price/volume action is an encouraging indication that few investors have been headed for the exit.

Subsequent losses leading to a damaging 50 DMA line violation or a slump below the recent low ($15.74 on 1/18/13) would raise concerns and trigger technical sell signals. >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 1/31/2013.

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.
