Indices Finish April on a High Note
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished the month of April on a positive note as the major averages overcame early weakness and finished higher on Tuesday. The volume totals on the exchanges were reported higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicating an increase in institutional buying demand. Breadth was positive as advancers outnumbered decliners by 2-1 on the NYSE and by 3-2 on the Nasdaq exchange. New 52-week highs totals solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. There were 51 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List making new 52-week highs and appearing on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, down from the prior session total of 60 stocks. There were gains for 6 of the 11 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.
The Dow erased an earlier loss of as much as 84 points to close up 20 points to 14,839. The S&P 500 Index posted a fresh all-time high as it gained over 3 points to 1,597. The Nasdaq Composite Index rose above its best level since November 2000 as it advanced 21 points to 3,328. The Dow increased over +1.7% in April, the S&P 500 rose for the sixth-straight month with a gain of +1.8% and the Nasdaq Composite Index was up nearly +1.9%.
Encouraging updates on housing and the consumer helped lift the market higher. The S&P/Case-Schiller Home Price Index increased in February by the most since May 2006 and consumer confidence surprisingly rose to a five-month high in April. Investors overlooked a separate report which showed business activity unexpectedly shrank in April to the lowest level since September 2009.
Overall, most sectors finished higher on Tuesday's session. Technology paced the advance for a second day as Apple Inc (AAPL +2.94%) continued to bounce higher. Energy stocks were also among the best performers as Halliburton Co (HAL +2.89%) rallied. Express Scripts Holding Co (ESRX +1.59%) and The Hartford Financial Services Group Inc (HIG +3.23%) rose after their fresh earnings news, meanwhile Newmont Mining Corp (NEM -4.62%) and Masco Corp (MAS -4.80%) fell after their earnings reports.
In fixed-income, Treasuries were virtually unchanged as the 10-year note finished flat to yield 1.67%.
The market (M criteria) is considered to be back in a "confirmed uptrend" because of the new closing highs from both the Nasdaq Composite and the S&P 500 Index on Monday. Although none of the major averages produced a solid follow-through-day within the most favorable period between Days 4-7 of the new rally attempt, the new highs from the indices argue sufficiently that the prior uptrend has resumed. Another encouraging characteristic of the current market is the latest expansion in leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs).
Watch for an announcement via email concerning the next WEBCAST. The webcast will also be available via an updated link highlighted at the top of the Premium Member Homepage.
PICTURED: The S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index rallied and hit a new 2013 high. It promptly repaired the recent violation of its 50-day moving average (DMA) line

Retail, Financial, Tech, and Defensive Groups Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Retail Index ($RLX +0.40%) posted a small gain and financial shares were also a positive influence on the major averages as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.71%) outpaced the Bank Index ($BKX +0.18%) for Tuesday's mostly positive session. The Networking Index ($NWX +2.12%) led the tech sector higher, followed by the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.81%) and the Internet Index ($IIX +0.64%) each with a more modest gain of under +1% while the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.00%) finished flat. The Healthcare Index ($HMO +0.52%), Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.74%), and the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +1.37%) had a positive bias.

Earnings News Due Soon; New Base Has Formed
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Valeant Pharmaceuticals (VRX +$0.14 or +0.18% to $76.08) held its ground today following a gap up and volume-driven gain on the prior session. It has formed a short square box base and the color code was changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 4/02/13 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent volume-driven gains above its pivot point may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Its recent the recent low ($69.87 on 4/04/13) defines important near-term support below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line where violations may trigger technical sell signals.
Keep in mind that VRX is due to report earnings before the open on Thursday, May 2nd, and volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. The high-ranked Medical - Ethical Drugs firm was last shown in this FSU section on 4/08/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Pullback Near 50-day Moving Average on M&A News ", while consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. A short new base of sufficient length has formed while it stayed above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line during the latest consolidation. On 4/03/13 it pulled back on heavy volume after agreeing to an increased offer price of $24.00 cash for it to acquire Obagi Medical Products, yet it stayed above its 50 DMA line.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 818 in Mar '12 in to 942 in Mar '13, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.3 is also an unbiased indication that its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. Quarterly earnings increases (C criteria) have been strong and well above the +25% guideline. A downturn in FY '07 and '08 earnings (A criteria) has been followed by a strong earnings rebound in recent years. Return On Equity is currently reported at 37%, well above the 17% minimum guideline of the fact-based system.

G - Slumped further below its 50 DMA line today and its color code is changed to green after 3 consecutive losses backed by above average volume indicating distributional pressure. A prompt rebound above its 50 DMA line is needed for its outlook to improve. Subsequent volume-driven gains above the pivot point are needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal from the "double bottom" base pattern noted before disciplined investors may consider taking action. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.

G - Posted a gain with above average volume, trading within close striking distance of its 52-week high. Color code was changed to green after it finished above its "max buy" level. More damaging losses below the 50 DMA line or recent low ($70.09) would raise more serious concerns and trigger a worrisome technical sell signal.
