Major Averages Tallied Third Consecutive Weekly Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major averages posted their 3rd consecutive weekly gains as the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose +1.2% and the S&P 500 Index gained +1.0%, and the Nasdaq Composite Index rallied +0.3% on the week. The Nasdaq Composite Index lagged and ended Friday's session down a point while the other indices finished the session with gains. The volume totals were reported higher on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, inflated by options expirations. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by nearly 2-1 on the NYSE but advancers led decliners by a narrower 7-6 margin on the Nasdaq. The total number of stocks hitting new 52-week highs 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 83 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List making new 52-week highs and appearing on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, down from the prior session total of 117 stocks. There were gains for 7 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.
PICTURED 1: The Nasdaq Composite Index is perched -2% off its 9/21/12 high.
On the economic front, the University of Michigan consumer sentiment survey unexpectedly declined in January to 71.3. Investors digested mixed earnings releases and reports that Republican lawmakers are considering a short-term solution to increase the debt ceiling. Meanwhile in Asia, China exited a slowdown in economic expansion as GDP rose +7.9% in the fourth quarter of 2012, accelerating for the first time in two years.
Technology led the market lower after chipmaker Intel Corp (INTC -6.31%) said a drop in PC sales led to a -27% decline in profit. It forecast a drop in sales and said it plans to increase capital spending by $13 billion this year. AT&T Inc (T +0.72%) despite announcing it will take a fourth-quarter charge of approximately $10 billion. Industrials were higher with General Electric Corp (GE +3.47%) gaining after posting earnings ahead of analyst estimates. Morgan Stanley (MS +7.86%) advanced following its better-than-expected quarterly results. Shares of Capital One Financial Corp (COF -7.47%) dropped following its earnings falling short of expectations.
Treasuries advanced with the 10-year note up 11/32 to yield 1.84%.
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). Widespread gains helped all of the major averages blast higher, and the benchmark S&P 500 Index is perched at its best level in more than five years.

Oil Services Index's Standout Gain Adds to Big January Surge
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Oil Services Index ($OSX +1.97%) was a standout gainer while the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.19%) ended with a smaller gain. The Retail Index ($RLX +0.37%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.46%) posted influential gains while the Bank Index ($BKX -0.26%) sputtered for a small loss. Weakness and mixed action in the tech sector weighed on the tech-heavy Nasdaq as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.46%) and the Networking Index ($NWX -0.45%) edged lower while the Internet Index ($IIX +0.23%) and the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.51%) posted small gains. Defensive groups showed little decisiveness as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.11%) inched lower and the Healthcare Index ($HMO +0.15%) tallied a tiny gain.

Encountering Mild Distributional Pressure
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Netsuite Inc (N -$1.16 or -1.71% to $66.56) gapped down today but finished near the session high. It has encountered mild distributional pressure and finished -6% off its 52-week high. Recent gains above its pivot point were marked by below average volume. It was last shown in this FSU section on 1/04/12 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Wedging Action is Not an Encouraging Surge to New Highs", as it traded above its pivot point, however its gains were marked by light volume as we observed - "That kind of action is technically termed 'wedging' and it does not have the look of hearty buying demand coming from the institutional crowd. Disciplined investors know that volume must be at least +40% above average behind gains above the pivot point to trigger a proper technical buy signal. Without heavy volume behind a stock's breakout investors have little reason to believe sufficient buying demand is lurking to allow for it to make a meaningful and sustained advance in price."
Netsuite Inc was highlighted in yellow in the 12/12/12 mid-day report with a pivot point cited based on its 10/26/12 high plus 10 cents (read here). The high-ranked Computer Software -Enterprise firm reported earnings +60% on +31% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 versus the year ago period. Earnings increased above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) in the 5 latest quarterly comparisons. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history improved from losses prior to FY '09. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 201 in Jun '11 to 291 in Dec '12, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. The Computer Software -Enterprise group has a Group Relative Strength Rating of B, a reassuring sign concerning the L criteria.
Disciplined investors use a tactic that they teach in the Certification program called "pyramiding", a method of staggering multiple buy orders which allows the ongoing market action to dictate their weighting in new buy candidates. Always limit losses by selling if any stock falls more than -7% from the purchase price. If a stock strengthens after it is sold it can always be bought back, but following strict selling rules is what keeps an investor from letting a small loss become a more devastating loss.

G - Hit a new all-time high and finished near the session high today. Very extended from its prior base, but having rallied more than +20% in the first 2-3 weeks after its breakout, the investment system rules suggest holding such winners for a minimum of 8 weeks.

Y - Trading near its 50 DMA line (now $15.79) today following a gap down and loss with above average volume on the prior session. That important short-term average acted as support throughout its ongoing ascent. A damaging violation may trigger a technical sell signal. Reported earnings +54% on +28% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 versus the year ago period, continuing its strong earnings track record satisfying the C criteria. >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 1/15/2013.

Volume behind recent gains was below the +40% above average volume guideline which is the bare minimum threshold needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal.
