Major Averages Rise Again With Less Volume Conviction

The major averages posted gains on Wednesday's session and the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 66 points to 13,779, putting it on pace for its best January since 1997. The volume totals were reported lower on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, down from Tuesday's totals. The small cap indexes lagged, however, and breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 7-5 margin on the Nasdaq exchange while decliners narrowly led advancers on the NYSE. 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 98 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 114 stocks. There were gains for 7 of the 10 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.

 

Reduced fears surrounding U.S. budget negotiations and encouraging earnings results lifted the market. In Washington, the House approved an extension of the debt ceiling until mid-May and the Senate is expected to pass the measure without any changes.

On the earnings front, better-than-expected technology profit tallies helped the group lead the market's advance. Google Inc (GOOG +5.50%) and International Business Machines Inc (IBM +4.41%) both topped earnings estimates and delivered encouraging 2013 forecasts. Apple Inc (AAPL +1.83%) also gained ground ahead of its scheduled release. SanDisk Corp (SNDK -0.63%) gave up ground ahead of their earnings report.

Materials and utilities were among the worst performing laggards as Exelon Corp (EXC -1.51%) declined, and Praxair Inc (PX -2.85%) also fell after forecasting full year earnings below analyst projections. Consumer discretionary was a notable laggard, led by a decline in Coach Inc (COH -16.36%) after the luxury goods maker reported earnings below consensus estimates and said holiday sales were disappointing.

Over in fixed-income, Treasuries were slightly higher as the 10-year note increased 4/32 to yield 1.83% and the 30-year bond rose 3/32 to yield 3.02%.

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.

Watch for an announcement via email concerning the next WEBCAST. The webcast will also be available via an updated link highlighted at the top of the Premium Member Homepage

PICTURED: The benchmark S&P 500 Index advanced for the sixth-straight session as it rose further above five-year highs.

High-Ranked Luxury Apparel Firm Worthy For Watchlist

Often, when a leading stock is setting up to breakout of a solid base it is highlighted in CANSLIM.net's Mid-Day Breakouts Report. Sometimes stocks are highlighted shortly after a technical breakout, yet while the potential buy candidate may still be considered action-worthy. The most relevant factors are noted in the report which alerts prudent CANSLIM oriented investors to place the issue in their watch list. After doing any necessary backup research, the investor is prepared to act after the stock triggers a technical buy signal (breaks above its pivot point on more than +50% average turnover) but before it gets too extended from a sound base. In the event the stock fails to trigger a technical buy signal and its price declines then it will simply be removed from the watch list. Disciplined investors know to buy as near as possible to the pivot point and avoid chasing stocks after they have rallied more than +5% above their pivot point. It is crucial to always limit losses whenever any stock heads the wrong direction, and disciplined investors sell if a struggling stock ever falls more than -7% from their purchase price.

Michael Kors Hldgs Ltd (KORS +$0.68 or +1.24% to $55.63) was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 11/02/12 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). It is on track for its 4th consecutive weekly gain and perched within -5.1% striking distance of its 52-week high. Disciplined investors may watch for volume-driven gains above the pivot point to trigger a proper technical buy signal before taking action. Currently it is consolidating above its downward sloping 50-day moving average (DMA) line and it recently encountered distributional pressure. This high-ranked Apparel - Clothing Manufacturing firm headquartered in Hong Kong met stubborn resistance in the $57 area and then tested support at its 200 DMA line in the months after pricing another Secondary Offering on 9/25/12. An earlier Secondary Offering was completed on 3/23/12.

Its strong quarterly and annual earnings history (C and A criteria) meet the fundamental guidelines of the fact-based investment system. It has traded up considerably from its 12/15/11 IPO priced at $20. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 328 n Mar '12 to 429 in Dec '12, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.4 is an unbiased indication that its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. The weekly graph below shows its current base still being built, and it could spend more time base building.  There is no advantage gained by jumping in "early" before definitive proof of meaningful new buying demand from the institutional crowd, yet it is an ideal candidate for investors to have on their watchlist until a decisive breakout might warrant action.

Y - Better candidates highlighted by our staff of experts.

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.

G - Rallying today for a considerable volume-driven gain and new 52-week and all-time highs after an analyst upgrade. Prior reports noted - "Disciplined investors may watch closely for sell signals if holding it and giving it a chance to produce more climactic gains. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line defines near-term chart support to watch where any violation would trigger a technical sell signal." Earnings +23% on +18% sales for the Sep '12 quarter, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), raised concerns.
