Tech-Heavy Nasdaq Lagged While Broader Market Enjoyed Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow remains on pace for its best January since 1997 as the blue-chip index gained 46 points to 13,825. The S&P 500 Index touched 1,500 for the first time since 2007 before closing virtually unchanged at 1,494. The Nasdaq Composite Index lagged while weakness in technology prevented a broad market advance. Thursday's session's volume totals were reported higher on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicating an encouraging increase in institutional buying demand overall. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by nearly a 3-2 margin on the NYSE, and advancing issues maintained a lead by a narrower 7-6 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. There were 136 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List making new 52-week highs and appearing on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up solidly from the prior session total of 98 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.
Economic data helped the market advance. U.S. jobless claims unexpectedly fell to the lowest level since January 2008 and the index of leading economic indicators advanced in December by the most in three months. In addition, Chinese manufacturing expanded at the fastest pace in two years.
Apple Inc (AAPL -12.35%) led the tech sector lower with a loss of $63.94 to $449.96 after posting its slowest profit growth since 2003 and missing revenue estimates for the third straight quarter. Nearly all other sectors gained ground thanks to better-than-expected profit tallies and encouraging economic data. Netflix Inc (NFLX +42.22%) reported an unexpected profit and rallied $43.57 to $146.90, marking its best closing level since September 2010. 3M Corp (MMM +0.18%) held its ground as it also topped earnings expectations thanks to sales growth in Asia. Fellow Dow components, Microsoft Corp (MSFT +0.07%) and AT&T Inc (T -0.09%) both hugged the flatline, and they reported earnings after the close along with Starbucks Corp (SBUX +0.20%).
In fixed-income, Treasuries were lower with 10-year note down 7/32 to yield 1.85% and the 30-year bond lost 17/32 to yield 3.04%.
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 S&P Small Cap 600 Index has been rallying for new all-time highs in recent weeks without looking back.

Retail & Financial Indexes Underpin Rally While Defensive Gold & Silver Group Suffers
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The financial groups were a positive influence on the major averages as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.03%) and the Bank Index ($BKX +0.41%) tallied gains. The Retail Index ($RLX +1.97%) also was a positive influence on the major averages as it posted a standout gain. The Internet Index ($IIX +2.19%) helped the tech sector while the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.88%) lost ground and lagged, and the Networking Index ($NWX +0.23%) and Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.55%) each posted small gains. Energy-related shares were mixed as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.68%) posted a modest gain while the Services Index ($OSX -0.47%) edged lower. The Healthcare Index ($HMO +1.12%) posted a gain. Meanwhile, the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -3.15%) suffered its second consecutive large loss, continuing to lag behind growth-oriented groups.

PICTURED: The Retail Index ($RLX +1.97%) has roared higher this year despite the stress which was added for consumers by expiring payroll tax cuts.

Distributional Pressure After Getting Extended From Ideal Buy Range
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Rentech Nitrogen Ptnr LP (RNF -$1.35 or -2.91% to $44.99) encountered more distributional pressure today with higher volume behind its loss. Prior highs in the $40 area define near-term support to watch. It was last shown in this FSU section on 1/09/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Extended From Base After 8 Session Winning Streak". Since then it tallied additional gains, and it has now retreated -6.6% from its 52-week high. It was previously noted - "The number of top-rated funds owning its shares had fallen from 52 in Jun '12 to 36 as of Dec '12, a disconcerting sign concerning the I criteria. However, its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.4 indicates a reassuring sign of institutional accumulation over the past 50 days." Today its Up/Down Volume Ration sits at 1.2.
Repeating a point emphasized in this FSU section - "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."

Y - Found support at its 50 DMA line recently. That important short-term average acted as support throughout its ongoing ascent. Subsequent losses leading to a damaging violation and a slump below the recent low ($15.74 on 1/18/13) would raise concerns and trigger technical sell signals.

Y - Today's 4th consecutive gain has it within close striking distance of its 52-week high. Color code was changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 11/02/12 high plus 10 cents in the 1/23/13 mid-day report (read here). Disciplined investors may watch for volume-driven gains above the pivot point to trigger a proper technical buy signal before taking action. See the latest FSU analysis under the headline, "High-Ranked Luxury Apparel Firm Worthy For Watchlist - Wednesday, January 23, 2013", for more details and an annotated weekly graph.

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.
