Dow Closes Above 14,000 as Major Averages Extend Rally
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
For the week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained +0.8%, the S&P 500 Index added +0.7%, and the Nasdaq Composite Index advanced +0.9%. The major averages posted solid gains on Friday. The volume totals were reported lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, not indicating fresh buying demand from the institutional crowd. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than 3-1 on the NYSE and advancers led decliners by more than a 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. There were 110 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 47 stocks. There were gains for 8 of the 11 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

Stocks rallied from the opening bell on several positive economic reports. Although the unemployment rate rose 0.1% to 7.9% in January, overall payroll activity was broadly in-line with expectations. In addition, the December payroll numbers were revised significantly higher. Separately, the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index, ISM manufacturing and construction spending all topped estimates.
All 10 sectors on the S&P closed higher, led by over +1% gains in financial, tech, and material stocks. Shares of Bank of America Corp (BAC +3.45%) and JP Morgan Chase & Co (JPM +1.70%) rallied. On the earnings front, Chevron Corp (CVX +1.17%), Tyson Foods (TSN +3.07%), and Ingersoll-Rand Plc (IR +1.89%) rose after the companies posted better-than-expected profit tallies. In other news, animal health company Zoetis Inc (ZTS) rallied $5.01 to $31.01 in its first day of trading.
Turning to fixed income markets, Treasuries were lower along the curve with the benchmark 10-year note down 5/16 of a point to yield 2.03%.
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 Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied to close above 14,000 for the first time since October 12, 2007.

Getting Extended After Volume-Driven Gains To New Highs
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Neustar Inc (NSR +$0.70 or +1.55% to $45.84) hit another new 52-week high today, getting more extended from its prior base while rallying with above average volume behind its latest gains. Disciplined investors know to avoid chasing extended stocks more than +5% above their pivot point, and they always sell if ever any stock falls more than -7% from their purchase price to properly manage risk under the fact-based system's guidelines. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line defines near-term support.
Leadership from other high-ranked leaders in the Telecom - Infrastructure group is a reassuring sign (concerning the L criteria). Its Group Relative Strength Rating has improved to an 88 rating. It was highlighted in yellow in the 12/11/12 mid-day report (read here) as that day's gain on heavy volume +172% above average clinched a technical buy signal. It rose from a 10-week base during which it found support at its 200-day moving average (DMA) line. Prior highs and its 50-day moving average (DMA) line acted as support when consolidating after its technical breakout while investors may have accumulated shares before rallying further into new high territory. It was last shown in this FSU section on 1/16/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Extended From Base After Prior Highs Acted as Support".
Quarterly comparisons through Sep '12 showed 3 consecutive increases of more than the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 400 in Mar '12 to 409 in Dec '12, a slightly reassuring trend concerning the I criteria. Its Return On Equity is reported at 29%, well above the 17% minimum guideline. Its small supply of 66 million shares (S criteria) outstanding can lead to greater price volatility if the institutional crowd rushes to accumulate shares, or if they decide to leave.

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.
