Monday's session kicked off the week on a positive note. Behind the major indices' gains the volume was reported lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, revealing a lack of serious institutional buying demand. Breadth was solidly positive as advancers led decliners by nearly a 4-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange and more than 4-1 on the NYSE. Leadership expanded as there were 45 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 18 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 all 6 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page. The Market (M criteria) earned the label of returning to a "confirmed uptrend" as the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 Index both tallied gains into new high territory. New buying efforts should be selective and only focused in stocks meeting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system. Keep in mind that any sustained and meaningful market advance requires leadership - a healthy crop of stocks hitting new 52-week highs.

PICTURED: The benchmark S&P 500 Index finished at a best-ever close with a solid gain on Monday. Recently it found support when consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Financial shares were a positive influence on the major averages on Monday as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +2.54%) and the Bank Index ($BKX +1.49%) both posted solid gains. Positive action from the Retail Index ($RLX +1.91%) also underpinned the market's rally, and the tech sector saw unanimous gains from the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +1.82%), Biotechnology Index ($BTK +2.55%), and the Networking Index ($NWX +2.83%). The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +1.40%) also ratcheted higher, meanwhile energy-related shares were mixed, as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.17%) fell, and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.61%) posted a small gain.
