S&P 500 Index Tallied 7th Consecutive Weekly Gain
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
For the week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gave up a mere -0.1% while the Nasdaq Composite Index finished virtually unchanged. Despite Friday’s loss the S&P 500 Index extended its weekly winning streak to seven with a +0.1% gain. The volume totals were reported mixed, higher on the NYSE and lower on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was slightly negative as decliners narrowly outnumbered advancing issues on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The total number of stocks hitting new 52-week highs easily outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 95 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List making new 52-week highs and appearing on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from the prior session total of 86 stocks. There were gains for 10 of the 13 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

Investors were timid while weighing a G-20 meeting against positive economic data. Global monetary leaders are in currency negotiations amid Japanese policies that continue to weaken the yen. The looming March 1 deadline of automatic U.S. spending cuts has added a cautious tone. On the data front, a gauge of New York area manufacturing unexpectedly climbed to its highest level since May 2012. The University of Michigan consumer confidence index advanced to a three-month high this month, but industrial production fell after the biggest two-month advance since 1984.

Overall, sector action was mixed. Consumer staples were the best performing group as Campbell Soup Co (CPB +1.76%) rose after besting earnings estimates, and The Coca-Cola Co (KO +1.57%) also posted a gain. Health care stocks also were higher, helped by Pfizer Inc's (PFE +0.85%) advance. Losses in energy and materials limited gains with Apache (APA -4.33%), Peabody Energy Corp (BTU -2.44%), and Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc (FCX -1.38%) falling. Reports that Wal-Mart Stores Inc (WMT -2.15%) had the worst sales start to a month in seven years prompted some profit taking in the final hour of trading.

In fixed-income, Treasuries extended their weekly losses as the 10-year note lost 2/32 to yield 2.01%.

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 and just off its October 2007 all-time high.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index reached tallied its 7th consecutive weekly gain and it is now perched only -3.6% off its October 2007 all-time high.

Gold & Silver Index Dives Toward 2012 Lows
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The energy group pulled back and the Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.53%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -1.20%) fell on Friday. Weakness in the Bank Index ($BKX -0.65%) and the Retail Index ($RLX -0.47%) created a drag on the major averages while the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.28%) edged higher. Tech tech sector saw modest losses for the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.60%) and the Networking Index ($NWX -0.42%) while the Internet Index ($IIX -0.07%) and Healthcare Index ($HMO -0.04%) ended nearly unchanged and the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.19%) posted a small gain.

PICTURED: The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -3.31%) was a standout decliner after comments from the Fed Chairman suggested that the economy was improving, giving the US dollar a boost. The lagging defensive group is down -13% year-to-date while growth areas have fared better.

Upward Trendline Defines Initial Support Above 50 Day Moving Average
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Valeant Pharmaceuticals (VRX +$0.14 or +0.21% to $66.53) is consolidating -2.1% off its 52-week high, extended from any sound base pattern. An upward trendline connecting its November - December lows defines an initial chart support to watch above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line (now $62.85). It may pause and form another base, or it might pull back and test its 10-week moving average line (similar to the 50 DMA) before any valid secondary buy point might be noted. Meanwhile, and fresh breakouts might be a better choice for disciplined investors looking to accumulate worthy buy candidates.

The Medical - Ethical Drugs group's Relative Strength rating has been improving since it was last shown in this FSU section on 1/28/13 with an annotated graph under the headline "Featured Stock Recently Wedging Higher Without Great Volume Behind Gains", and there have been a couple of strong performers in the group offering reassuring signs concerning the L criteria. Gains with heavier volume also followed its last detailed review, which was a reassuring sign. Then it wedged even further into new high territory without great volume conviction behind gains in recent weeks. It has shown mostly bullish action since first featured in yellow at $60.24 in the 12/20/12 mid-day report.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 818 in Mar '12 in to 922 in Dec '12, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 2.1 is also an unbiased indication that its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. Quarterly earnings increases (C criteria) have been strong and well above the +25% guideline. A downturn in FY '07 and '08 earnings (A criteria) has been followed by a strong earnings rebound in recent years.

Color Codes Explained :
Y - Better candidates highlighted by our staff of experts.
G - Previously featured in past reports as yellow but may no longer be buyable under the guidelines.
