Indices Post Gains With Light Volume Ahead of FOMC Meeting

The major averages finished with gains on Monday, but anemic volume totals signaled that the institutional crowd was not accumulating shares and the recent weakness may not be over. Advancing issues beat decliners by 2-1 on the NYSE and by 5-4 on the Nasdaq. Options expirations had contributed to Friday's higher volume totals, meanwhile totals reported on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange on Monday were clearly below average. New 52-week lows still outnumbered new 52-week highs on both the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 16 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 8 on the prior session. There were 12 gainers out of the 13 of the high-ranked leaders currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

 

The markets were able to overcome continued Greek debt concerns. European leaders reassured investors that a default could be avoided even after euro-area governments failed to agree on a payment to Greece.  US stocks quietly traded higher as the S&P 500 Index bounced off its 200-day moving average, a key technical level. There were no economic reports. The Fed will begin a two-day meeting on interest rates Tuesday. The FOMC's mid-week policy statement has added significance with the expiration of the Fed's second round of quantitative easing (QE2) set to expire soon. World markets are also wondering what the Fed has planned amid the precarious conditions that currently loom over countries in the eurozone periphery.

Microsoft Corp (MSFT +0.87%) said it would announce its next next-generation Office cloud service next week. Wal-Mart Stores Inc (WMT +0.42%) posted a small gain after the U.S. Supreme Court sided with the retailer and rejected class-action status in a potentially huge sex-discrimination lawsuit.  Neither of the above mentioned companies has the quarterly and annual earnings growth history to be considered a match with the investment system's model winners. The best candidates our experts have identified are included on the Featured Stocks Page.

Recent weak action was noted as the market (M criteria) correction caused more worrisome technical damage, reminding investors to raise cash and reduce exposure until a new confirmed rally with follow-through day (FTD) occurs.  The June 2011 issue of CANSLIM.net News (read here) is now available to all upgraded members. Only UPGRADED members will also have access to the upcoming Q2 2011 Webcast scheduled for Wednesday, June 29th at 8PM EST. 

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average's modest winning streak reached three days and approximately +1.5%. A follow-through day (FTD) occurring between Day 4 and Day 7 of a new rally is considered the most ideal confirmation of a new rally attempt.  To produce a solid FTD there should be a gain of at least +1.4% or more from at least one of the major averages, and the gain must come with higher volume and an expansion in leadership (new 52-week highs). Meanwhile, any deterioration under the Day 1 lows would officially end the nascent rally attempt and signal that the market's correction is continuing.

Healthcare Group Posts Standout Gain

Weakness for the Bank Index ($BKX -0.48%) was an exception while most groups posted modest gains on Monday. The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.08%) and Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.16%) inched higher, and energy-related issues were also very little changed as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.10%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.06%) hugged the flat line. The Internet Index ($IIX +0.44%), Networking Index ($NWX +0.64%), and Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.78%) posted modest gains that outpaced the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.13%). The Retail Index ($RLX +1.01%) posted an influential gain, and the Healthcare Index ($HMO +2.75%) was a standout gainer.

PICTURED: The Healthcare Index ($HMO +2.75%) posted a standout gain, rallying up from its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Following Choppy Consolidation New Base Not Yet Formed

Ulta Salon Cosmetics & Fragrance, Inc. (ULTA +$1.32 or +2.30% to $58.74) posted a gain today with +14% above average volume for its second-best close ever. It is perched near its all-time high, extended from any sound base pattern.  Disciplined investors may watch for another sound base to possibly be formed and noted. Since its last appearance in this FSU section on 5/26/11 with analysis and an annotated graph under the headline, "Institutional Ownership Increased During Considerable Rally", it endured distributional pressure, violating its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and slumping briefly under earlier lows raising additional concerns. Its solid 6/08/11 gain with heavy volume, after gapping up, soon repaired the violation and helped its outlook, technically. Its recent low ($48.68 on 6/03/11) defines an important support level to watch now, where any subsequent violation would raise more serious concerns and trigger more worrisome sell signals.

It has been repeatedly noted as extended from any sound base, having steadily climbed, hardly pausing for any sufficient new base to form since its breakout early this year cleared the last pivot point cited. Since first featured in yellow in the 3/12/10 mid-day report at $22.81 and (read here) and in a more detailed Stock Bulletin later that afternoon under the headline "Strong Earnings Increases Help Leader Meet Key Criteria", in just over 15 months it has traded up as much as +160.4%. The number of top-rated funds with an ownership interest has grown from 274 funds in Mar '10 to 463 funds as of Mar '11 which is an encouraging sign of increasing institutional interest (the I criteria). Management's 25% ownership stake (after the latest offering) still keeps the company's directors very motivated to look after and build shareholder value. Its strong quarterly earnings increases above the +25% guideline in the 7 latest comparisons satisfies the C criteria, and its solid annual earnings (A criteria) history is also very reassuring.


Color Codes Explained :
Y - Better candidates highlighted by our staff of experts.
G - Previously featured in past reports as yellow but may no longer be buyable under the guidelines.

Its color code was changed back to yellow after its recent resilience. Disciplined investors may watch for gains above its recent highs and wait for a follow-through day to confirm a new rally. Meanwhile, recent lows near $75 define important support to watch.

Y - Overcame early weakness today for a positive reversal near its 50 DMA line as it posted a small gain with slightly above average volume. Recent lows also help define important near-term chart support in the $29 area. The M criteria argues against new buying efforts without a FTD from at least one of the major averages as confirmation of a new rally.

Y - Gain today has it possibly poised for a new high close while consolidating above its 50 DMA line. A powerful technical breakout could trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal, however the M criteria argues against new buying efforts without a follow-through day from at least one of the major averages confirming a new rally. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.
