Major Averages Pause at Record Highs
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished slightly lower as the market took a breather from its recent rally. The volume totals were reported mixed, higher than the prior session total on the Nasdaq exchange and lower on the NYSE. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 9-5 margin on the NYSE and 8-5 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 79 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 99 stocks. New 52-week highs totals outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 7 of the 14 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.
The major averages ended the session in negative territory despite receiving an encouraging update on the labor market. Before the open, weekly initial jobless claims unexpectedly declined to a five year low of 323,000. Additional data showed wholesale inventories rose +0.4% in March, slightly higher than the consensus estimate for a +0.3% increase. Attention was also on the currency market as the dollar rallied above 100 yen for the first time since April 2009.
On the earnings front, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc (GMCR +27.84%) gapped and Tesla Motors (TSLA +24.40%) were standout gainers as both stocks gapped up after posting better-than-expected quarterly results. Shares of Rackspace Hosting Inc (RAX -24.66%) and Monster Beverage Corp (MNST -5.2%) retreated after reporting profits below analyst projections.
All 10 sectors in the S&P 500 finished in negative territory. Utilities and telecom were the worst performing groups on the session. Edison International (EIX -2.66%) and AT&T Inc (T -1.32%) both ended lower.
Treasuries erased earlier gains with the 10-year note finishing down 1/32 to yield 1.81%.
The market (M criteria) saw an expansion in leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) that reassured investors a confirmed uptrend is at hand. Watch for new stocks featured in the CANSLIM.net Mid-Day BreakOuts Report. Action-worthy leaders are covered on an ongoing basis with the latest notes and additional resource links included on the Featured Stocks Page. 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 500 Index is perched at its all-time high. A multi-month upward trendline and its 50-day moving average (DMA) line define a near-term support area to watch on pullbacks. The indices' rally to new highs confirmed the market's uptrend which means odds are favorable for new buying efforts in stocks meeting all of the fact-based investment system's key criteria.

Trading Lower After Hours Following Earnings Announcement
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
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.
Air Lease Corp (AL +$1.16 or +3.94% to $30.58) was highlighted in yellow with a pivot point based on its 4/09/13 high while rallying from a "double bottom" base to a new 52-week high with above average volume in the earlier mid-day report (read here). Its strong finish for a 6th consecutive gain clinched a technical buy signal, however, members were cautioned - "Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news." After the close it reported earnings +38% on +45% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 versus the year ago period. The result was well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), however it missed analysts' consensus estimates, and the shares traded much lower in the after-hours.
AL undercut the 50-day moving average (DMA) line during its consolidation since noted with caution in the 4/04/13 mid-day report following a volume-driven loss. It found support near prior highs in the $26 area. Recently it had tallied 11 consecutive weekly gains. Decelerating sales revenues and earnings increases in sequential quarterly comparisons through Dec '12 were noted as cause for some concern.
Fundamentals are still strong enough that its earnings history is a good match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines (C and A criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 177 in Sep '12 to 192 in Mar '13 which is reassuring concerning the I criteria. Its Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.4 is also an unbiased indication that its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.

Y - Pulling back today with volume running at an above average pace. May spend more time basing as it was noted that it faces resistance due to overhead supply up through the $16 level. Found encouraging support at its 50 DMA line and flashed above average volume behind recent gains while building on a new base. Volume-driven gains above the new pivot point are needed to trigger a new technical buy signal. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.
