As the major averages fell on Thursday the market's breadth was clearly negative as decliners led advancers by a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The volume totals were reported mixed, lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange.  The total number of stocks hitting new 52-week highs contracted, however new highs still easily outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 47 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List making new 52-week highs and appearing on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, down considerably from the prior session total of 97 stocks. There were gains for 9 of the 18 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page, a favorable balance considering the broader market's negative slant on the session.

On our shores, the housing market continued to show signs of improvement. Existing home sales increased in February to the highest level since November 2009 and home prices advanced for the 12th consecutive month in January. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Fed Index moved into expansionary territory for the first time since December and a gauge of leading indicators rose for a third month in February.

Concerns surrounding the euro zone overshadowed the encouraging U.S. economic data. In Europe, the ECB warned Cyprus it has until next Monday to agree to a bailout plan before it cuts off funding to the nation's troubled banks. Stock losses accelerated late in the session as anxiety about Cypriot finances increased. Just before the U.S. market's close, Standard & Poor's cut Cyprus' sovereign credit rating deeper into junk status.  Investors still fear that a collapse of the banking system in Cyprus will tighten credit across Europe. Meanwhile new data showed that the region's economy contracted more than expected in March, only adding to investors' lingering fears.

Oracle Corp (ORCL -9.69%) reported revenue far short of expectations and it led tech shares lower while it was the biggest drag on the tech-heavy Nasdaq. Cisco Systems Inc (CSCO -3.83%) was the Dow's biggest percentage loser after an analyst downgraded the network equipment maker's stock and cut its price target. Among other tech shares, International Business Machines Corp (IBM -1.30%) slumped. Apparel retailers Guess Inc (GES -7.20%), Tilly's Inc (TLYS -8.43%) and Pacific Sunwear of California Inc (PSUN -9.84%) each fell hard after they forecast first-quarter results significantly below analysts' estimates. After the bell, shares of Nike Inc (NKE -2.24%) traded considerably higher (+8.3%) after it posted a profit that beat analyst expectations.  None of the above mentioned companies is a match with the fact-based investment system's key criteria.  Stocks currently included on the Featured Stocks Page are recognized as most noteworthy and potentially action-worthy candidates.

New buying efforts are justified under the fact-based system since a follow-through day on 3/05/13 shifted the market's (M criteria) direction to a confirmed rally again after a brief correction. 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).

Often, when a leading stock is setting up to breakout of a solid base it is highlighted in CANSLIM.net's Mid-Day Breakouts Report. The most relevant factors are noted in the report which alerts prudent CANSLIM oriented investors to place the issue in their watch list. After doing any necessary backup research, the investor is prepared to act after the stock triggers a technical buy signal (breaks above its pivot point on more than +50% average turnover) but before it gets too extended from a sound base. In the event the stock fails to trigger a technical buy signal and its price declines then it will simply be removed from the watch list. Disciplined investors know to buy as near as possible to the pivot point and avoid chasing stocks after they have rallied more than +5% above their pivot point. It is crucial to always limit losses whenever any stock heads the wrong direction, and disciplined investors sell if a struggling stock ever falls more than -7% from their purchase price.

FleetCor Technologies, Inc. (FLT +$2.64 or +3.79% to $72.38) finished near the session high with a solid gain on 3 times average volume after highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 3/06/13 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (click here). A volume driven gain above the pivot point may trigger a new technical buy signal. It recently held its ground and formed an advanced "3-weeks tight" base marked by 3 weekly closes in a very tight range. It rallied near its 52-week high with today's solid gain, coming close but not clearing the pivot point. The high-rank Completed another Secondary Offering on 3/08/13 after a streak of volume-driven gains into new high territory. Reported earnings +46% on +45% sales for the Dec '12 quarter, marking its 4th consecutive quarterly comparison with earnings above the +25% guideline (C criteria). On 3/14/12, 6/11/12, and 11/29/12 it priced Secondary Offerings and it was previously noted, "Such offerings often are a short-term hindrance to upward price progress yet typically result in broader institutional ownership interest."

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 193 in Mar '12 to 301 in Dec '12, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 2.0 is also an unbiased indication that its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. The company hails from the Finance - Credit Card Payment Processing group which currently has a below average 33 Group Relative Strength Rating, however impressive strength and leadership from a couple of other firms in the same industry group is considered sufficient reassurance concerning the L criteria.

This advanced base may be considered a "late-stage" and somewhat riskier than bases of greater duration. Careful investors may use a tactic called "pyramiding" to allow the ongoing market action to help dictate their weighting in the stock if subsequent volume-driven gains lift it above the pivot point cited. Disciplined investors avoid chasing a stock more than +5% above the pivot point and always limit losses by selling if any stock falls more than -7% from their purchase price.
