U.S. equities have rallied strongly since the start of the year, helped by signs of improvement in the economy and the support of equities by the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing program. These factors have contained recent pullbacks as investors have used them as a buying opportunity. The Fed has continued its policy of keeping short-term interest rates near zero since late 2008.

Wall Street had traded slightly lower earlier in the day as Italy's credit downgrade and disappointing Chinese economic data gave investors a reason to pause.  However, Dow component Boeing Co (BA +2.11%) rose its highest level since May 2008 after the U.S. aircraft manufacturer said strong demand was prompting it to increase its production rates of commercial planes. It was the Dow's biggest percentage gainer and gave the biggest boost to the Dow in Monday's session. The U.S.- listed shares of BlackBerry (BBRY +14.09%) rallied after AT&T Inc (T -0.22%) said it will start selling the company's new BlackBerry Z10 touchscreen smartphone in the United States on March 22nd. Dell Inc (DELL +1.48%) agreed to give Carl Icahn a closer look at its books less than a week after the activist investor joined a growing chorus of opposition to founder Michael Dell's plan to take the world's No. 3 personal computer maker private.

Genworth Financial Inc (GNW +6.71%) rallied following a report by Barron's that the mortgage insurer's stock could almost double in the next year, boosted by gains in mortgage and healthcare pricing. In contrast, Dick's Sporting Goods Inc (DKS -10.85%) tumbled after the retailer reported lower-than-expected fourth-quarter results and gave a disappointing forecast. None of the above mentioned companies match the fact-based investment system's guidelines. The most noteworthy high-ranked leaders are included on the Featured Stocks Page, a list that has recently expanded.

Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of companies hitting new 52-week highs, so it is always essential to see meaningful leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs). New buying efforts are justified under the fact-based system since Nasdaq Composite Index's solid gain on higher volume may be considered a follow-through day, shifting the market's (M criteria) direction to a confirmed rally again after a brief correction.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up about +10%, for the year-to-date and it has tallied 7 consecutive gains.

Strength in financial shares underpinned the major averages' rally on Monday as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.53%) and Bank Index ($BKX +0.92%) posted decent gains. The tech sector had a slightly positive bias as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.14%) and Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.33%) posted small gains while the Networking Index ($NWX -0.02%) and Internet Index ($IIX +0.00%) finished flat.

 The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.25%) edged lower and energy-related shares were quiet as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.16%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.05%) finished flat.  The Healthcare Index ($HMO +0.00%) and the Retail Index ($RLX +0.06%) were also virtually unchanged.

PICTURED: The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.14%) is perched within striking distance of its 2012 high after rallying more than +13.3% year to date.

Linkedin Corp (LNKD +$26.39 or +21.27% to $150.48) is holding its ground stubbornly while perched near its all-time high. It is very extended from any sound base, yet may produce more climatic gains. It has recently been noted - "Disciplined investors may watch for secondary buy points or additional bases to possibly form and be noted in the weeks ahead."  Having quickly rallied more than +20% in the first 2-3 weeks after its technical breakout, the investment system rules suggest holding such explosive winners for a minimum of 8 weeks to allow for potentially greater gains. Disciplined investors never hold any stock if it fails badly however, or if it falls more than -7% from their purchase price.

LNKD was last seen in this FSU section on 2/08/13 with an annotated graph under the headline -"Quickly Extended From Prior Highs Following Big Breakaway Gap", after highlighted in yellow in that day's mid-day report (read here) with a new pivot point cited based on its 1/28/13 high plus 10 cents. In reaction to its report of earnings +192% on +81% sales revenues for the Dec '12 quarter there was a considerable "breakaway gap" into new all-time high territory helped it blast from a 4-month cup-with-handle base. Longtime members may recall that a breakaway gap has previously 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 that an ordinary pullback may trigger the fact-based system's strict sell rule.

The stock rebounded impressively from lows below its 200-day moving average (DMA) line since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 10/19/12. The company's fundamentals (C and A criteria) remain strong.  The high-ranked leader from the Internet - Content  Its Return On Equity of 13% is still below the 17% guideline, which is a minor concern. Ownership by top-rated funds has been on the rise, increasing from 185 in Sep '11 to 828 in Dec '12, a very reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.6 is an unbiased indication that its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
