Major Indices Tallied Gains With Positive Breadth

The major indices posted gains on Monday. The volume totals were reported mixed, lighter on the NYSE, and higher on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session's totals. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by nearly a 2-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. The total number of new 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 19 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 prior session total of 13 stocks. There were gains for 16 of the 21 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

 

Stocks rallied to finish higher on Monday. The major averages rebounded from last week's retreat after a report showed retail sales unexpectedly climbed +1.1% in September. Excluding autos and gas, retail sales increased +0.9% versus consensus projections for a +0.4% rise. A separate report showed manufacturing activity in the New York region contracted for a third consecutive month in October.

Financials also provided a tailwind to the market today. Citigroup Inc (C +5.50%) advanced after posting better-than-expected quarterly results. The Goldman Sachs Group (GS +3.58%) gained ahead of its earnings release Tuesday morning. Health care was the best performing group on the session. Shares of Eli Lilly (LLY +4.12%) rose after favorable results of a study for a potential stomach cancer treatment. Semiconductor stocks paced the tech sector higher. Texas Instruments Inc (TXN +3.45%) rose on reports Amazon.com Inc (AMZN +0.75%) is in talks to acquire the company's mobile chip unit. Telecom was the worst performing group today. Sprint Nextel Corp (S -0.70%) gave back early gains on Softbank Corp (SFTBY -4.97%) agreeing to acquire 70% of the wireless company to finish down. AT&T Inc (T -1.18%) also retreated.

The 10-year note was down 3/32 to yield 1.66%.

Recent weakness and technical deterioration was noted in the Nasdaq Composite Index (10/09/12 - read here) . Waning leadership, or fewer stocks hitting new 52-week highs, also suggested that the market rally was coming under pressure. The newspaper waved a white flag and termed it a market "correction" on Wednesday. 

Investors should watch individual holdings very carefully through the current earnings season and be prepared to take quick action. In market corrections the M criteria argues against new buying efforts.  Keep a watchlist of strong acting stocks with all-key criteria in anticipation of the next confirmed uptrend.  See the noteworthy candidates included on the Featured Stocks Page.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index posted a gain to halt its 6 session losing streak. It needs to rebound back above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line for its technical stance to improve.

Financial, Retail, Energy Groups Led Gainers

The Retail Index ($RLX +0.85%) had a positive bias and gains from influential financial shares boosted the Bank Index ($BKX +0.98%) and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.13%), helping underpin the major averages' gains. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +1.48%) led the tech sector higher while the Internet Index ($IIX +0.63%) posted a smaller gain, meanwhile the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.09%) inched higher and the Networking Index ($NWX -0.19%) edged lower. Defensive groups had a slightly positive drift as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.14%) and the Healthcare Index ($HMO +0.39%) each rose modestly. Energy-related shares also tallied gains as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.39%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.66%) rounded out Monday's mostly positive session.

Quiet Consolidation Has Look of New Base

Vitamin Shoppe Inc's (VSI +$1.03 or +1.81% to $57.82) volume totals have been below average in recent weeks while consolidating near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. It still faces some resistance due to overhead supply up through the $60 area after recently stalling. It has formed a flat base of sufficient length, and a new pivot point has been cited, however disciplined investors will wait and watch for confirming gains from the stock. Odds are not favorable without proof of fresh institutional accumulation and also more reassuring signs from the broader market (M criteria). Meanwhile, recent lows near $55 define the next important chart support below its short-term average.

VSI was last shown in this FSU section on 9/10/12 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Consolidation Too Brief and Choppy for a Valid New Base", following a streak of 4 consecutive gains as it rebounded and rallied back above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and above its previously cited pivot point. Now it has built a better base.

It reported an earnings increase of +38% on +13% sales revenues for the Jun '12 quarter. Additional leadership (L criteria) shown by other stocks in the Retail - Specialty group has still been a reassuring sign however the Group Relative Strength Rating fell to 46 from 94 when the stock was shown in this section on 7/02/12. Fundamentally, it has earned high ranks after showing strong quarterly and annual earnings increases satisfying the C and A criteria. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 288 in Jun '11 to 377 in Sep '12, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.  Vitamin Shoppe has 29.7 million shares outstanding. That small supply is not a bad thing, but could contribute to greater price volatility. Historic studies have shown that once companies have grown their supply (S criteria) of shares outstanding to hundreds of millions, or even billions of shares outstanding, they are less likely candidates to be "above average" gainers.

G - Posted a small gain on light volume today, failing to rebound after a damaging volume-driven loss violated its 50 DMA line and triggered a technical sell signal on the prior session. Only a prompt rebound above that short-term average would help its outlook. Disciplined investors always limit losses if ever any stock falls more than -7% from where it was purchased.

Y - Following its cup-with-handle base pattern it has been edging lower with volume totals cooling. Volume-driven gains above its pivot point are needed to confirm a technical buy signal before action may be justified by disciplined investors. Fundamentals remain strong (good C and A criteria) and very little resistance from overhead supply is there to hinder its progress.

Prior highs in the $48 area define the next chart support level.
