Major Averages End Choppy Session With Small Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The volume total on the NYSE was reported slightly higher while the Nasdaq exchange reported lighter volume than the prior session total. Advancers led decliners on the NYSE by almost a 2-to-1 ratio, but advancers led by a narrower 5-to-4 ratio on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 37 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made a new 52-week high and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from the 28 issues that appeared on the prior session. On both exchanges new 52-week highs substantially outpaced new 52-week lows - the latter of which was reported in the single digits.

The major averages spent much of Monday's session in the red, but stocks rose with news that new home sales during June spiked 11% to hit a better-than-expected annualized rate of 384,000. That was their highest rate since November, helping the supply of unsold homes shrink to 8.8 months from 10.2 months in May. Enthusiasm over the new home sales report didn't last very long.

The stock market's rally was supported by strength among bank and financial sector stocks, a group that is viewed as an important leading indicator that has repeatedly been mentioned in this commentary. Many major banks have already reported their quarterly results, so there were no big news headlines to which one might attribute the strength. The Wall Street Journal reported that second quarter lending was down nearly -3% among 15 large U.S. banks, providing evidence suggesting that many banks are still being very cautious about putting their money to work.Watching the market reaction to earnings reports and guidance is critical during earnings season, as always.

PICTURED: The volume has quieted, yet the benchmark S&P 500 Index it has edged higher since its 7/23/09 gain on higher volume for new 2009 highs.

The Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.68%) posted a small gain, The Networking Index ($NWX -0.72%) and Internet Index ($IIX -0.30%) ended modestly lower while small gains for the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.40%) and Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.58%) helped offset the weakness.

Distributional Pressure Hurts Shanda's Outlook
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Shanda Interactive Ent Ltd (SNDA -$4.61 or -8.09% to $52.39) gapped down today and violated its 50-day moving average (DMA) line, another clear distribution day that hurts its outlook. When it was recently approaching its all-time highs, a new pivot point was noted and its color code was changed to yellow in the 7/22/09 Mid-Day Breakouts Report (read here). However, that has been followed by three damaging losses in a row. Technically, deterioration under its June low ($49.73) raise more serious concerns and trigger additional sell signals, especially if volume swells behind more damaging losses. Losses on heavy volume in recent weeks were noted as they signaled distributional pressure. For its outlook to improve it needs gains to lift it back above its short-term average. After featured in the June 2009 issue of CANSLIM.net News (read here), SNDA quickly got too extended from a proper buy point. Its outlook now grows increasingly questionable the longer and deeper it slumps into its prior base below it previous chart highs in the $53 area.

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.

						MB = $65.16
Most Recent Note - 7/27/2009 5:07:51 PM Y - Today was its third loss in a row, and volume picked up late in the session to above average levels. To trigger a technical buy signal, volume should meet or exceeded the +50% above average volume guideline as a stock rises above its pivot point. Featured in yellow in the 7/09/09 Mid-Day BreakOuts Report (read here). The group has shown some leadership, yet currently has a D- for a Relative Strength Rating. CPLA is a high-ranked leader in the Commercial Services-Schools Group. Its small supply of only 13.9 million shares in the float could contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional accumulation or distribution. The number of top-rated funds owning an interest rose from 91 in Sept '08, to 132 as of March '09, which is reassuring with respect to the I criteria. It has a very good earnings history that satisfies the C & A criteria, while recent quarters showed steady sales revenues increases in the +17-18% range. >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 7/20/2009. click here.

						MB = $52.08
Most Recent Note - 7/27/2009 1:04:18 PM G - Pulling back today, yet still trading above its max buy level. Featured in the 7/23/09 Mid-Day BreakOuts Report (read here) after it gapped up for a considerable gain on heavy volume following news of stronger sales revenues (+41%) and solid earnings increases for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The technical action was described as a "breakaway gap" from a valid ascending base. Patience may allow for shares to be accumulated on pullbacks, and prior highs are now an important support level. A prior breakout from what was also called an ascending base pattern failed as a wave of distribution smacked it down to support at its 50 DMA line. Quarterly sales revenues in the 6 million dollar range are still rather minuscule, leaving concerns. >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 7/17/2009. click here.
