Major Averages Gain Momentum While Leadership Expands

Technology stocks led the way as the market posted a second straight session of broad gains and positive momentum continued on Thursday. The volume total on the NYSE was reported slightly lower as the big cap indexes posted gains of less than +1%. The total volume was reported higher on the Nasdaq exchange, but the percentage gain posted by the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index was not as big as the +1.7% gain needed to be considered a solid follow-through day (FTD). Advancing issues beat decliners by nearly 2-1 on the both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE. There were 73 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up considerably from a total of 39 on the prior session. On the Featured Stocks Page there were gains from 17 of the 21 high-ranked market leaders currently listed. 

 

Two economic reports appeared to have little impact on trading. Durable goods bookings declined 0.9% in February. While the decline was unexpected, January orders were revised higher. Initial jobless claims fell 3,000 to 382,000 in the latest week, in line with expectations. Concerns about Europe were pushed to the back burner as EU leaders met to present a plan to solve the region's debt crisis. Stronger corporate profits and signs the job market may be improving helped the markets overcome jitters about high oil prices. Oil traded above $106 per barrel to its highest level since 2008 and gold touched a record early in the day before closing lower. Oil prices slipped from a 30-month high, dropping for the first time in four days.

Chip-maker Micron Technology Inc (MU +8.39%) and software company Red Hat Inc (RHAT +18.24%) posted earnings that beat analyst estimates. Gamestop Corp (GME +2.94%), a retailer of video games, forecast profit above analyst projections.  Scholastic Corp (SCHL -11.2%) cuts its forecast for full-year earnings and the shares tumbled.

The bullish action of late did not meet the strict definition of a follow-through day (FTD), however the great expansion leadership (new 52-week highs) is a sign that the market has a healthy crop of strong leaders underpinning the latest rally effort.  Coupled with the new leadership, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 Index, and the S&P Mid-Cap 400 and S&P Small-Cap 600 indexes have collectively rallied back to well above their respective 50-day moving average (DMA) lines.  Since the last day of heavy distribution on March 16th, the institutional crowd has shown more encouraging signs of accumulation again.  Even after a convincing FTD, new buying efforts should always be cautiously and carefully made only when all of the investment system's key criteria are met.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index's volume increased to near average behind its +1.41% gain today on Day 6 of its new rally attempt.

Healthcare, Retail, and Tech Indexes Led Broad Gains

The Retail Index ($RLX +1.50%) rose and a strong tech sector rally brought solid gains from the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +2.45%), Networking Index ($NWX +1.51%), Biotechnology Index ($BTK +1.55%), and Internet Index ($IIX +2.05%).  The Healthcare Index ($HMO +2.02%) also posted a solid gain. The Bank Index ($BKX +0.31%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.47%) posted only modest gains.  Energy-related shares also had a mildly positive bias as the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.45%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.54%) posted modest gains. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.78%) ended a 5-session winning streak with a small loss.

PICTURED: The Networking Index ($NWX +1.51%) has been one of the leading tech sector indexes in recent months. It has recently found support near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Technical Breakout From Another Sound Base Pattern

Opentable Inc. (OPEN +$3.46 or +3.63% to $99.65) hit a new all-time high today with +61% above average volume behind its solid gain above its pivot point, triggering a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Since its last appearance in this FSU section with detailed analysis and an annotated graph on 2/15/11 under the headline, "Strong Earnings Underpin Bullish Performance", it consolidated and built a sound new base above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. A new pivot point was cited on March 17th. 

The C criteria is solidly satisfied as earnings and sales revenues increases have been strong in the 5 latest quarterly comparisons versus the year ago period. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.7 provides an unbiased indication of institutional accumulation, aside from its favorable B+ rating for Accumulation/Distribution.

The company's management still owns a 32% stake in its shares, keeping them motivated to look after and build shareholder value. Of course, they also may be inclined to employ the help of an underwriter to complete a Secondary Offering at some future point, although no such news has been announced. Meanwhile, the number of top-rated funds owning shares rose from 167 in Dec '09 to 320 in Dec '10, a very reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It could go on to produce more climactic gains, but disciplined investors know 3 out of 4 stocks follow the direction of the major averages (M criteria), and a convincing follow-through day by strict definition did not yet occur.

Y - Holding its ground today after a gain with 2 times average volume for a new all-time high on 3/23/11, rallying above its pivot point triggering a technical buy signal after a riskier "late stage" set-up. Disciplined investors know that a follow-through day from at least one of the major averages (M criteria) is necessary in order to justify new (or add-on) buying efforts under the system's guidelines. Its 50 DMA line defines important chart support to watch.

G - It has slumped -11.3% off its all-time high and it is testing support at its 50 DMA line. Its recent low ($234.48 on 3/02/11) defines another important nearby level for chart readers to watch closely. Subsequent violations and damaging losses would raise greater concerns and trigger technical sell signals.

Y - Rallied for a new 52-week high (N criteria) after gapping up today, rising clear of all resistance due to overhead supply. A strong close with well above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal, yet disciplined investors know caution is advised until a follow-through day confirms the market direction (M criteria) is again favorable for new buying efforts.

G - Volume spiked to an amazing 14.8 million shares traded on the session, a total nearly half of its 30.6 million shares in the publicly traded float, while it fell abruptly in the final 2 hours. The result was a damaging negative reversal after a gap up for a new all-time high. Its considerable loss violated prior highs in the $25-26 area and its 50 DMA line, previously noted for weeks as important support to watch, triggering technical sell signals. It closed above its 200 DMA line after nearly testing its November 2010 lows.

Also confirming the N criteria, it announced a new global strategic alliance with second hand goods retailer Cash Converters International. As previously noted - "A follow-through day from at least one of the major averages (M criteria) is also necessary in order to justify new (or add-on) buying efforts under the system's guidelines."

Y - Gapped up today and hit a new 52-week high, rising from an orderly flat base pattern during which its 50 DMA line acted as support. Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based upon its 52-week high plus 10 cents. This Redwood City, CA-based Computer Software - Database firm showed strong sales revenues and earnings increases for the 3 most recent quarters (Jun, Sep, Dec '10) above the +25% minimum guidelines and it has maintained a steady annual earnings (A criteria) history. Volume-driven gains above its pivot point coupled with a FTD (confirming the M criteria) would be reassuring signs confirming a technical buy signal.

Y - Positive reversal today while testing support at its 50 DMA line. Its recent low ($34.22 on 3/15/11) defines another near-term support level to watch. The M criteria is an overriding concern arguing against new buying efforts until a rally with follow-through day occurs.

Y - Gapped up today and rallied to a new 52-week high, clear of all resistance. Volume is running at an above average pace while it has risen above its pivot point, and a strong close with at least +50% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. However, the M criteria remains an overriding concern for disciplined investors until the rally attempt is confirmed with a follow-through day from at least one of the major averages.

Subscriber Questions:

March 22, 2011

Dear Ken,

I'm trying to interpret the Featured Stocks spreadsheet.  The suggested purchase price, is that the featured price, or the pivot price?  The Max Buy price, I take to mean don't chase the stock.  Please contact me.  Mr. R. in Los Angeles

 
Ken's Response:

 March 23, 2011

Dear Mr. R. in Los Angeles:

Thanks for asking a great question allowing me to provide more detailed comments on the Featured Stocks list. 

To clarify any confusion about the Featured Stocks page http://premium.canslim.net/FeaturedStocks/featured.asp (or spreadsheet, if you downloaded it), the Featured Price you see listed is directly associated with the Featured Date on any stock currently listed on the Featured Stocks Page. Links provided on the website allow you to review all prior notes and featured articles with annotated graphs on each stock's Company Profile page. Whenever Pivot Points were noted, they also directly associated with the Featured Date and Featured Price at the time of the note. Whenever a new Pivot Point is cited for a previously featured stock, a new Featured Date and Featured Price are associated with that new Pivot Point published in the reports from that time forward.
 
The Company Profile page for any stock gives you a concise review of the prior coverage. Understand that the summary of historic notes and more detailed write-ups you will find there is comprised mostly of notes or analysis that appeared in either a previous Mid-day Breakouts Report, or an earlier After Market Update. Those reports are included with your upgraded membership, and it is highly recommended that members review both reports in their entirety each day. We send notification emails immediately as these reports are published and made available on the secure website for those with access. All prior reports are available for review via the Premium Membership Homepage http://premium.canslim.net/canslimnewservicehome.asp
 
On occasion, new notes may be added to an already featured stock and the new note may state that a new Pivot Point has been cited. Indeed, if you check the After Market Update we published on the evening of such a note you should see that the Featured Date, Featured Price, and Pivot Point are new, whereas earlier After Market Updates we published cited the prior Featured Date, Featured Price, and Pivot Point.
 
Since you did not ask about a specific stock, I cannot tell you if it had or had not yet traded above its Pivot Point with volume conviction and triggered a technical buy signal or not when it was previously "Featured" in the prior reports. In some cases the stocks are identified before a breakout, and in some cases they are identified after a breakout yet still within buyable guidelines. 
 
I cannot suggest you buy any amount of anything, however, because I know nothing of your risk tolerance and what is suitable for you. Please note that to keep the legal folks happy our reports include the following disclaimer - "THESE ARE NOT BUY RECOMMENDATIONS!  Comments contained in the body of this report are technical opinions only.

I will gladly help if you need anything else clarified.  I attempted to call you earlier but couldn't reach you. Hopefully the above is sufficient explanation to make sure you understand 

Please let me know if there is any way I can be more helpful to you in your efforts.

Best regards,
