Major Averages' Gains Lacked Underlying Volume Conviction
Adam Sarhan, Contributing Writer,
Stocks surged around the world after China said it remains a long-term investor in Europe, which helped the euro snap a losing streak and allowed China's stock market to score a follow-through day (FTD). Volume totals in the US markets were reported lower compared to Wednesday's totals on both major exchanges while the indices ended unanimously higher. Advancers trumped decliners by an 11-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and they led by over a 6-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 9 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made a new 52-week high and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, higher than the 8 issues that appeared on Tuesday. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange.
Overnight, China's foreign exchange regulator quelled rumors that China was going to review its euro holdings. He said the rumors were "groundless" which sparked a world-wide rally and helped allay ongoing contagion woes. In Spain, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, won parliamentary approval for austerity measures which was another healthy step for the euro. One of the three stock exchanges in China, the Shenzhen stock exchange, scored a follow-through day which bodes well for global capital markets. Over the past few years, China's stock market has moved "ahead" of other stock markets. For example, China's Shanghai composite hit a low in October 2008, five months before the March 2009 bottom. More recently, the Shanghai Composite placed a near-term top on April 15, two weeks before the S&P 500 printed its 2010 high of 1,219. Despite, China's strong move it is still -20% below its 2010 high which technically defines it as being in a "bear market". In addition, the Shanghai composite is still below both its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines which suggest a lot of technical damage must be repaired before this market is off to new highs.
In the US, two important economic reports were released: gross domestic product (GDP) and weekly jobless claims. The government said the US economy grew at a slower pace than previously expected in the first quarter and jobless claims fell less than economists expected. First quarter GDP rose +3% compared to last month's reading of a +3.2% increase. Meanwhile, the Labor Department said, initial jobless claims fell by -14,000 to 460,000 in the week ended May 22 which was lower than the Street's forecast of 455,000.
Thursday marked Day 3 of a new rally attempt for the benchmark S&P 500 Index and Day 1 for the other major averages. That said, as long Tuesday's lows are not breached in the S&P 500, the earliest a proper follow-through day (FTD) could occur would be Friday. However, if at anytime Tuesday's S&P 500 Index lows are breached, then the day count will be reset. What does all of this mean for investors? Simple, the market remains in a correction which reiterates the importance of adopting a strong defense stance until a new rally is confirmed. Trade accordingly.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index under cut its early 2010 low on May 25th then managed a positive reversal. Thursday's gain marked Day 3 of the new rally effort as it challenged its 200 DMA line which may act as resistance.

Education Firm Enduring Distributional Pressure
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Grand Canyon Education (LOPE -$0.80 or -3.0% to $25.44) fell on heavy volume today, and the lack of price progress indicates distributional pressure as it pulled back and closed under its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. Now -10.6% off its 52-week high, it has been consolidating for a 7-week period since peaking on 4/13/10, building what may be considered a sound new base. Technically, its 4/29/10 low of $23.66 is the next important chart support, where further deterioration would raise greater concerns. The number of top-rated funds owning shares rose from 42 in Jun '09 to 62 Mar '10, providing some reassurance concerning the I criteria of the fact-based investment system. Distributional pressure negated its most recent breakout since it was featured in the 4/13/10 mid-day report (read here) when triggering a technical buy after a "3-weeks tight" type pattern. Leadership in the Commercial Services - Schools group was a nice reassurance for the L criteria, but subsequently, many for-profit schools have encountered distributional pressure in the wake of recently proposed regulatory changes. Broader market weakness (the M criteria) did nothing to help its chances. Until a follow-through-day helps confirm a solid looking new rally the odds do not look favorable for most stocks being able to rally.

G - Another gain with light volume today is helping it rise further above its 50 DMA line and back above its December '09 highs, yet it remains about -12% off its 52-week high and faces some resistance. It has been quietly consolidating for about 5 weeks since its "negative reversal" after hitting an all-time high on 4/26/10 was noted. >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 5/19/2010.
