Major Averages Rose With Better Volume Conviction

Behind Tuesday's gains for the major indices the volume totals were reported higher than the prior session totals on both the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange revealing more serious institutional buying demand. Advancers led decliners by an 11-4 margin on the NYSE and by nearly 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 39 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from the total of 25 stocks on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 3 of the 4 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page, a list that has grown shorter as numerous leaders have broken down in recent weeks. The Market (M criteria) pullback earned the label of a "correction" as a result of recent pressure on the indices. Graphs in the commentary following last Thursday's action (read here) illustrated that recent weeks have been especially tough on many stocks which were high-ranked leaders in the previous rally. This is precisely how the fact-based investment system prompts investors to reduce their overall market exposure during weak periods.

 

Stocks advanced on Tuesday. The Dow was up 65 points to 16,514. The S&P 500 extended its winning streak to a sixth consecutive session, gaining 8 points to 1,879. The NASDAQ rose 40 points to 4,161.

The major averages finished higher attributed to positive earnings results and M&A news. Nine of 10 sectors in the S&P 500 were up on the session. Health care was the best performing group. Allergan (AGN +15.25%) after activist investor Bill Ackman and Valeant Pharmaceuticals (VRX +7.46%) offered to buy the company in a deal valued at $45.7 billion. Consumer discretionary also helped pace Tuesday's advance. Comcast (CMCSA +1.9%), Harley-Davidson (HOG +6.4%) to $71.87 and Netflix (NFLX +7%) following their better-than-expected quarterly results. Shares of AT&T (T +0.6%) and Yum! Brands (YUM +1.9%) rose ahead of their scheduled earnings reports after the close tonight.
On the economic front, a report showed existing home sales fell -0.2% in March, less than consensus projection for a -1% decline. A separate report revealed manufacturing activity in the central Atlantic region rebounded more-than-expected in April.
Treasuries finished mixed. The 10-year note was flat to yield 2.72%. The 30-year bond gained 15/32 to yield 3.50%.
To shift the market stance (M criteria) back to a "confirmed uptrend" requires a solid follow-through day or one or more of the major indices rallying to new high territory. Keep in mind that any sustained and meaningful market advance requires a healthy crop of stocks hitting new highs. The CANSLIM.net Featured Stocks Page shows the most action-worthy candidates and their latest notes and a Headline Link directs members to the latest detailed analysis with data-packed graphs annotated by a Certified expert along with links to additional resources.  The Premium Member Homepage includes "dynamic archives" to all prior pay reports published.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average edged higher and finished -59 points off its best-ever close of all-time.

G - Finished near the session high with near average volume behind its gain today. Halted its slide above its 200 DMA line but recent gains came on very light volume. Its Relative Strength rating improved to 84, above the 80+ minimum rank for buy candidates under the fact-based system. A rebound above the 50 DMA line is needed to help its outlook.
