Major Averages Posted Large Gains For January
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
For the month of January, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained +5.8%, the S&P 500 Index added +5.1%, and the Nasdaq Composite Index advanced +4.1%. The major averages ended slightly lower on Thursday. The volume totals were reported higher on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicating more "distribution" or selling pressure from the institutional crowd. Breadth was slightly positive as advancers led decliners narrowly on the NYSE and advancers led decliners by a 3-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. 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. There were 47 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 61 stocks. There were gains for 9 of the 11 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.
![](/CSNNews/articlefiles/21701-13113COMP.jpg)
Stocks edged lower as investors respond to a batch of mixed economic data. Weekly jobless claims disappointed, rising more than expected to 368,000. December personal incomes increased +2.6%, while personal spending edged higher by +0.2%. Separately, Chicago PMI topped estimates with the index rising to 55.6.
Seven of the 10 sectors on the S&P were lower, led by declines in consumer stocks. Brewer Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (BUD -5.88%) fell after the Department of Justice blocked their $20 billion acquisition of Grupo Modelo. Also in the space, Constellation Brands Inc (STZ -17.39%) fell on concerns that the DoJ's action could impede their planned deal with Crown Imports. On the earnings front, Whirlpool Corp (WHR +6.13%) rose following the appliance maker's better-than-projected profit tally. Qualcomm Inc (QCOM +3.92%) and Dunkin Brands Group Inc (DNKN +2.04%) also rallied on better-than-expected earnings news. Facebook Inc (FB -0.83%) shares gapped down yet rebounded to finish near the session high with a small loss after the company fell short of analysts' expectations in the quarter, reporting a -79% decline in profits on higher expenses. Shares of United Parcel Service Inc (UPS -2.34%) also fell following their fourth-quarter profit tally.
The latest rally has produced a few action worthy candidates meeting all of the fact-based investment system's criteria. Selectivity and discipline are required, as always. Investors may consider new buying efforts in stocks meeting all key criteria, as the market's (M criteria) confirmed uptrend has been comprised by great leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) in the broader market. 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 Nasdaq Composite Index has logged a series of losses with above average and higher volume than the prior session, termed "distribution" days. Such a cluster of distribution days can bode poorly for the market, as it indicates that the institutional crowd is unloading shares rather than accumulating shares.

Found Support Above 50-Day Moving Average But Relative Strength Has Been Waning
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Cardinal Financial Corp's (CFNL $16.34) has been consolidating in a tight range above support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and trading just above its pivot point. It did not ever trade above its "max buy" level after the rally above its pivot point on 1/02/13 with +72% above average volume triggered a technical buy signal. Subsequent losses leading to a damaging violation and a slump below the 50 DMA and below the recent low ($15.74 on 1/18/13) would raise more serious concerns and trigger technical sell signals. Its 83 Relative Strength Rating remains above the 80+ minimum for buy candidates, however that rank has been slumping since last shown in this FSU section on 1/15/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, " Consolidating Above Support Following Breakout Gain".
The high-ranked leader hailing from the Banks - Southeast industry group reported earnings +54% on +28% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 versus the year ago period, continuing its track record of strong quarterly earnings comparisons underpinned by encouraging sales revenues increases. It has earned the highest possible 99 Earnings Per Share (EPS) rank, and its high ranks and long term earnings history help it match favorably with the C and A criteria. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 172 in Sep '11 to 196 in Dec '12, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria. Its small supply (S criteria) of only 29.3 millions shares outstanding is a favorable characteristic, yet it can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional accumulation or distributional pressure.

Y - Hovering near its high since a "negative reversal" after touching a new 52-week high on 1/28/13, and it recently tallied gains with ever-increasing volume as it approached its 52-week high and pivot point. Disciplined investors may watch for volume-driven gains above the pivot point to trigger a proper technical buy signal before taking action.

A "negative reversal" for a loss on heavy volume after hitting a new 52-week high on 1/25/13 was noted as a worrisome sign of distributional pressure as it failed to finish strong and did not clinch a technical buy signal. >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 1/25/2013.

G - Its 50 DMA line (now $71.79) defines near-term support to watch while consolidating after recent gains. Gapped down today for a loss on higher volume indicating distributional pressure while retreating from the new all-time high hit last week with a volume-driven gain. Last noted on 1/24/13 with caution - "It is extended from the previously noted base. Company will announce its fourth quarter 2012 financial results on Tuesday, February 12, 2013 after the close." >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 1/22/2013.
