Major Averages Rose With Greater Volume Conviction
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major averages staged a rally on Tuesday. Volume totals were reported higher than the prior trading session's volume totals on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE, suggesting that institutional buying demand was on the rise. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by about a 7-2 ratio on the NYSE and 7-3 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 54 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from the total of 26 stocks on the prior session. The list of stocks hitting new 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE, an encouraging improvement. There were gains for 8 of the 10 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page, a list that has recently been waning. The Market (M criteria) has a nascent rally attempt under way. Remember that for any rally to be sustained it is critical for there to be "healthy" leadership - many stocks hitting new 52-week highs.
The Dow gained 192 points to 15,994. The S&P 500 Index rose 19 points to 1819. The NASDAQ advanced 42 points to 4,191. Fed Chair Janet Yellen's first testimony to Congress was in focus. She said reductions in the central bank's bond purchases will probably continue even amid uneven employment growth and reiterated that interest rates will stay at record lows. Also from Capitol Hill, the House is expected to vote on legislation to raise the debt ceiling through March 2015 without added amendments or conditions.
As a result of the positive tone, every sector finished higher. Materials paced the advance. Mosaic (MOS +2.18%) rose after the company boosted its share repurchase program and said it expects record global shipments of potash this year. Energy stocks rose for a second day, led by Exxon Mobil's (XOM +1.33%). Telecommunication and consumer stocks also helped lift the market. Sprint (S +2.73%) and CVS Caremark (CVS +2.61%) rose after both companies posted better than projected earnings results. Rackspace (RAX -17.96%) tumbled in reaction to earnings and news its CEO was retiring.
Treasury prices declined and a government auction of three-year notes drew greater-than-average demand. The 10-year note fell 15/32 to yield 2.72%. The 30-year bond lost 22/32 to yield 3.69%. The CANSLIM.net Featured Stocks Page shows the most action-worthy candidates and their latest notes and a Headline Link directs members to the latest detailed analysis with data-packed graphs annotated by a Certified expert along with links to additional resources. The Premium Member Homepage includes "dynamic archives" to all prior pay reports published. Watch for an announcement via email concerning the next WEBCAST.
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average rebounded near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line on Tuesday for what may be considered "Day 4" of a new rally attempt. Prior commentaries published here pointed out that last Wedneday's lows undercut Tuesday's lows for all of the major indices. Under the fact-based investment system it is most ideal for at least one of the major averages to produce as solid follow-through day (FTD) of big gains on higher volume between Days 4-7 of a new rally effort. Use caution and remain disciplined in following proper sell rules under the fact-based investment system.

Stubbornly Held Ground Following Breakaway Gap
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Silicom Ltd (SILC +$0.50 or +0.77% to $65.44) is hovering near its 52-week high, extended from any sound base while on track for a 9th consecutive weekly gain. It has been stubbornly holding its ground since last shown in this FSU section on 1/23/14 under the headline, "Considerable Gap Up Following Strong Earnings Report ". There was a considerable "breakaway gap" up on 1/23/14 after reporting earnings +92% on +52% sales for the Dec '13 quarter, beating consensus estimates and continuing its streak of strong quarterly earnings increases satisfying the C criteria.
After a downturn in FY '08 and '09 earnings its annual earnings (A criteria) history has shown strong and steady growth. Its small supply (S criteria) of only 3.93 million shares in the public float can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 7 in Dec '12 to 14 in Dec '13, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 2.7 is also an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days."

Y - Holding its ground at its 52-week high following a "breakaway gap" on the prior session new all-time highs. Reported strong +73% earnings on +59% sales revenues for the Dec '13 quarter, continuing its strong earnings record. Color code was changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 12/19/13 high plus 10 cents. Considerable volume-driven gain triggered a technical buy signal, however the broader market (M criteria) environment still argues for caution until at least one of the major averages produces a solid follow-through day of gains on higher volume.

Y - Rebounding above its 50 DMA line today with a gap up and considerable volume-driven gain. Color code is changed to yellow after proving resilient, but no new pivot point is being cited. Recent low ($1,103.90 on 2/05/14) defines near-term support to watch where further deterioration would raise greater concerns.
