Major Averages Edged Lower on Evenly Mixed Session

The major averages again finished with modest losses but ended off of their worst levels on Tuesday. The volume totals were reported slightly higher on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by a narrow margin on the Nasdaq exchange and the action on the NYSE was very evenly mixed. The total number of stocks hitting new 52-week highs still easily outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, and new lows remained in the single digits on both the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 73 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List making new 52-week highs and appearing on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from the prior session total of 61 stocks. Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of companies hitting new 52-week highs, so it was encouraging last week to see a great expansion in new leadership.  There were gains for 9 of the 10 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

 

Stocks declined throughout the session as investors exercised caution ahead of fourth-quarter earnings season. All 10 sectors on the S&P ended lower, led by declines in telecom stocks. Verizon Communications (VZ -2.43%)  AT&T Inc (T -1.69%) gave up ground. In other news, shares of Boeing Co (BA -2.63%) ended lower following two safety incidents with their 737 dreamliner aircrafts that raised concerns over potential design flaws. Also on the downside, Yum! Brands (YUM -4.20%) fell after the company warned that full year earnings would be less than projected due to weak sales in China.

Turning to fixed income market, Treasuries were higher along the curve. The benchmark 10-year note was up 5/16 of a point to yield 1.87% and the 30-year bond advanced 5/8 of a point to yield 3.07%.

Investors may consider new buying efforts in stocks meeting all key criteria, as the market's (M criteria) confirmed uptrend showed a great expansion in leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) after overcoming recent pressure. Solid gains helped the benchmark S&P 500 Index promptly rebound above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line, and Nasdaq Composite Index and Dow Jones Industrial Average both promptly rebounded above their respective 50 DMA and 200 DMA lines. All of the major averages then blasted above their December highs with additional volume-driven gains.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished -2.4% off its 10/05/12 high with a small loss on the session.  Keep in mind that it is -6.1% below its October 2007 all-time high (not shown on the weekly graph above).

Tech, Financial, Healthcare, and Oil Services Indexes Fell

The Networking Index ($NWX -2.67%) led the tech sector lower while the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.12%) and Internet Index ($IIX -0.41%) ended with smaller losses.  The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.93%) and the Bank Index ($BKX -0.54%) lost ground and weighed on the major averages. Weak action in the Healthcare Index ($HMO -1.93%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.23%) also created a drag on the market. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.22%), Retail Index ($RLX +0.27%), and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.08%) managed to put up small gains.

PICTURED: The Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.10%) inched higher for a 6th consecutive gain, recently trading above its highs.

Unhindered by Overhead Supply, But Extended From Prior Base

Rackspace Hosting Inc (RAX +$3.89 or +5.67% to $72.44) finished at the session high and an all-time high with today's gain on average volume. It is extended from its prior base, meanwhile prior highs in the $70 area define initial support to watch. Disciplined investors avoid chasing extended stocks more than +5% above their pivot point.  Making sloppy buy decisions by chasing extended stocks invites a much greater chance that an ordinary consolidation might prompt investors to invoke the investment system's strict loss-limiting sell rule after a pullback of -7% or more from their purchase price.

It reported earnings +36% on +27% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 versus the year ago period and its fundamentals remain strong. The past 11 quarterly earnings comparisons have shown better than +25% increases (C criteria). Its annual earnings history (A criteria) since trading began in 2008 has been good. Increasing institutional ownership (I criteria) is a reassuring sign, as the number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 408 in Dec '10 to 651 in Dec '12.

RAX has rallied unhindered by resistance due to overhead supply since last shown in this FSU section on 12/18/12 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Volume-Driven Gain Above New Pivot Point Triggered Technical Buy Signal". It had hit a new 52-week high with a solid gain backed by +142% above average volume. Its strong close above the new pivot point cited based on its 11/29/12 high plus 10 cents clinched a new (or add-on) technical buy signal as we observed - "There is no assurance that it will go on to produce great gains now, but the volume-driven gain above the latest pivot is a convincing sign that it may be capable of a more substantial rally in the weeks and months ahead."

G - Holding its ground today near its 50 DMA line and trading -12.1% off its 52-week high. Distributional losses on above average volume raised concerns following a "negative reversal" on 1/02/13. Disciplined investors waited to take any action after it was recently noted - "Subsequent volume-driven gains above its pivot point are still needed to trigger a new technical buy signal."

Y - Today's gain has it rallying above its pivot point to a new 52-week high, however volume thus far is below the +40% above average volume guideline which is the bare minimum threshold needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal. Disciplined investors may use a tactic called "pyramiding" to allow market action to dictate their positioning.
