Breadth Positive and Volume Higher as Indices Rally Further
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major averages rallied to finish higher on Thursday and the benchmark S&P 500 Index ended at its best level in more than five years. The volume totals were reported higher on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicating an encouraging increase in buying demand from influential institutional investors. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by 3-1 on the NYSE and by 2-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. The total number of stocks hitting new 52-week highs swelled and easily outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. New 52-week lows totals were in the single digits on both exchanges again. There were 117 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List making new 52-week highs and appearing on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, more than doubling the prior session total of 51 stocks. There were gains for 6 of the 9 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page. Patience and selectivity are required, however, as the latest rally has produced very few action worthy candidates meeting all of the fact-based investment system's criteria.

The major averages were firmly in positive territory following better-than-expected data on the labor and housing markets. Before the open, weekly initial jobless claims unexpectedly declined 37,000 to 335,000, a 5-year low. A separate report showed housing starts unexpectedly climbed +12.1% in December, helping give a boost to shares of homebuilder Pulte Group (PHM +5.33%) among others. The market remained higher despite a Philadelphia Fed survey which revealed that business activity in the Mid-Atlantic region contracted in January.

Consumer discretionary was the best performing sector. eBay Inc (EBAY +2.40%) rose after reporting revenues above some analyst projections. Industrials also outperformed including a gain from General Electric (GE +0.85%). Financials were the laggard on the session as Bank of America Corp (BAC -4.24%) and Citigroup Inc (C -2.92%) declined amid disappointment in their quarterly results.

Treasuries retreated with the 10-year note off 15/32 to yield 1.87%.

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). Solid gains have helped all of the major averages blast higher.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index rallied to new 5-year highs and finished -6% off its all-time high from October 2007.

Retail, Broker/Dealer, Energy and Tech Indexes Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Defensive groups were mixed as the Healthcare Index ($HMO +1.48%) posted a solid gain but the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.56%) edged lower. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +2.00%) led the tech sector higher while the Networking Index ($NWX +0.81%) and the Internet Index ($IIX +0.39%) posted smaller gains, but the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.03%) finished flat. Influential gains from the Retail Index ($RLX +0.87%) and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.76%) underpinned the major averages' gains, meanwhile the Bank Index ($BKX +0.15%) lagged. Gains in energy-related shares helped the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.60%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.72%) rise, rounding out Thursday's widely positive session.

PICTURED: The Networking Index ($NWX +0.81%) has been steadily rallying in January above prior highs.

Rule Suggests Letting Explosive Winners Have Time For Greater Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Celgene Corp (CELG -$0.67 or +0.68% to $98.19) is holding its ground near its 52-week high following a streak of 11 consecutive gains marked by above average volume. It is very extended from its prior base. Having quickly rallied more than +20% in the first 2-3 weeks after its technical breakout, the investment system rules suggest holding such explosive winners for a minimum of 8 weeks to allow for potentially greater gains. Disciplined investors never hold any stock if it fails badly however, or if it falls more than -7% from their purchase price.

CELG has maintained a strong earnings history (C and A criteria). Watch for the company to make its latest quarterly earnings report before the open on January 24, 2013, and note that volume and volatility often increase near earnings news.

The Medical -Biomed/Biotech firm's last appearance in this FSU section was on 1/03/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "RS Rating Waning While Perched Near High". Buy candidates should have a RS rank of 80+, so it was noted that the sub par rank then argued against new buying efforts, however the bullish action in the days that followed helped its RS rank quickly ratchet higher and it is currently sporting a 92 RS rank.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,623 in Dec '11 to 1,681 in Sep '12, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 2.3 also offers an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. However, the company is already well-known by the institutional crowd.

Most Recent Note - 1/17/2013 11:58:24 AM Y - Gapped down today, testing support at its 50 DMA line.
