Despite Encouraging Data Indices Encounter Distributional Pressure
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major averages closed near session lows despite encouraging economic data, ending unanimously lower on Wednesday's session. Higher volume totals reported behind the losses indicated a pick-up in institutional selling pressure, termed "distribution", on both the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as declining issues led advancers by nearly 2-1 on the NYSE and by nearly 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. Stocks hitting new 52-week highs still solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on both exchanges. There were 46 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, versus the prior session total of 55 stocks. Wednesday's session concluded with gains from only 4 of the 28 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

The major averages started the session with a positive bias following positive economic data and news out of Europe. Specifically, the European Central Bank said it would lend 529.5 billion Euros to 800 banks in its second Long-Term Refinancing Operation. European market closed lower with the FTSE in London falling -1% and the German DAX losing -0.5%.

Early economic data added to investors' optimism. U.S. fourth-quarter GDP beat consensus expectations of 2.8% in the secondary reading increasing at a 3% annualized rate. The February Chicago Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) improved from January, coming in at a better-than-expected 64. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke delivered his semi-annual Humphrey Hawkins testimony to the House Financial Services Committee while providing no indication of further easing measures. The 2PM EST release of the Beige Book showed slight improvements in the economic condition as the reporting regions reported mild to moderate growth.

Homebuilders showed strength following positive industry comments from Toll Brothers' CEO Douglas Yearly. Toll Brothers Inc (TOL +4.59%) and Lennar Corp (LEN +3.86%) posted solid gains.

While the macro picture continues to improve, many market participants are questioning if that is priced into the stock market now that the S&P 500 has climbed about +10% year-to-date and sits at levels not seen since 2008. The interest in taking some risk off of the table likely played a part in the market's intra-day pullback and its inability to return to higher ground. While the major averages (M criteria) are still in a confirmed uptrend, investors must be careful and selective to avoid chasing stocks that are extended too far away from sound base patterns.

Closely following the high-ranked companies included on the Featured Stocks Page and reading the daily mid-day and after-market reports allows upgraded members to discover many action-worthy candidates based on the fact-based investment system before they become familiar household names which are heavily owned by the institutional crowd.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index recently traded above its 2011 high and is now perched -13.4% off its October 2007 all-time high.

Widespread Group Weakness; XAU Falls Below 200-Day Average
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The tech sector was led lower by the Networking Index ($NWX -2.26%), Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.58%), and Internet Index ($IIX -1.24%) while the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.64%) escaped with less than a -1% loss on Wednesday's widely negative session. Energy-related shares lost ground and dragged both the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -1.16%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.14%) lower. Modest losses from the Retail Index ($RLX -0.58%) and weakness in financials dragged the Bank Index ($BKX -0.55%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.33%) lower, adding to the major averages' negative bias. The Healthcare Index ($HMO -0.27%) also finished with a small loss.

PICTURED: The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -3.28%) was a standout decliner as it slumped back below its 200-day moving average (DMA) line with a big loss.

Technically Strong Despite Fresh Concerns Over Fundamentals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Alliance Data Systems Corporation (ADS -$0.15 or -0.12% to $121.36) is quietly hovering near its all-time high. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line defines the nearest support level to watch on pullbacks while it is now extended from its latest base. Its last appearance in this FSU section with an annotated graph was on 1/17/12 under the headline, "New Pivot Point Cited for Resilient Leader", as it hit a new all-time high and rallied for gain backed by +40% above average volume, near the bare minimum volume required to trigger a proper technical buy signal. Confirming gains backed by heavy volume showed up in the weeks that followed, providing reassuring signs of serious institutional buying demand that could lead to a more meaningful advance.

ADS has maintained a good annual earnings (A criteria) history, even through challenging economic times in recent years which created flaws in the A criteria for many growth stocks. However, its latest quarter ended December 31, 2011 showed earnings +9% on +12% sales revenues, below the +25% earnings guideline for buy candidates, raising concerns (see red circle). The prior 3 quarterly comparisons (Mar, Jun, and Sep '11) showed earnings per share increases greater than the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Current leadership from other companies in the Finance - Credit Card/Payment Processing group (L criteria) is a favorable characteristic. Ownership by top-rated funds also rose from 616 in Dec '10 to 818 in Dec '11, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.

In the Certification they teach investors that stocks should be bought based on a combination of both fundamental and technical criteria, and stocks should always be sold based on technical action. In this case, anyone who owns it might be watching out now for weak action leading to technical sell signals if they meanwhile decide to hold on to see if it first may go on to produce more climactic gains. A disciplined investor would likely look for a fresh candidate without a flaw in its latest earnings report, and one that is near a sound base patter rather than extended.

Lackluster price/volume action coupled with a fresh quarterly earnings report that missed the +25% guideline led to another Featured Stock recently being noted as it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list. See the "Ken's Mail Bag" section lower in this evening's report for more details...

Subscriber Question:

February 27, 2012

Dear Ken,

Why was OSI Systems Inc (OSIS) not on the after market report?

Thanks so much for your time. John

Ken's Response:

February 29, 2012

Dear John,

Thanks for writing in with your question.

OSIS is not appearing in recent after market reports in the "Featured Stock Update" summary table and it is not included on the Featured Stocks Page anymore because it was recently noted and dropped from the Featured Stocks list. It has subsequently powered higher, however fundamental concerns remain an overriding concern making it a questionable buy candidate under the fact-based investment system's guidelines.

It was noted 2/22/2012 at 4:07:11 PM - "Consolidating just above its 50 DMA line which defines important support to watch. Earnings increase below the +25% minimum earnings guideline in the Dec '11 quarter was noted as a fundamental concern. It will be dropped from the Featured Stocks list tonight." It had been struggling while repeatedly noted since 1/24/2012 at 11:21:15 AM - "Reported earnings +20% on +11% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 versus the year ago period, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline and marking its weakest earnings comparison in 2 years, raising concerns."

Before it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list OSIS had traded up as much as +36.7% from when it was first featured in yellow at $42.07 in the mid-day report on 11/1/2011 when noted - "Gapped down today, pulling back after recently wedging to a new 52-week high without great volume conviction. It may be forming a handle following a 14-week cup shaped base. Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 10/27/11 high. Subsequent volume-driven gains above its pivot point may trigger a technical buy signal. Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong and quarterly earnings increases have been above the +25% guideline satisfying the C criteria. Ownership by top-rated funds fell from 352 in Mar '11 to 333 in Sep '11." It actually took until 11/30/11 before OSIS finally showed noteworthy gains that justified disciplined investors taking action as it was then noted - "Gapped up today and rallied with +44% above average volume for a close above its previously cited pivot point for a new high, confirming a technical buy signal."

Hopefully this clarifies the matter. You can review all past notes and featured articles with detailed analysis and annotated graphs on any stock previously appearing in CANSLIM.net reports by simply clicking the "View All Notes" links or by going to the "Company Profile" pages.
