Major Averages Rose Again With Less Volume Conviction
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
For the week, the Nasdaq Composite Index advanced +0.3% and the S&P 500 Index gained +0.2%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average led the way with a gain of +0.6%. Behind Friday's small gains for the major averages the volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was slightly positive as advancers led decliners by an 8-7 margin on the NYSE and 7-5 on the Nasdaq exchange. The total number of stocks hitting new 52-week highs still 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, near the prior session's total of 49 stocks. There were gains for 9 of the 12 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.
The major averages rebounded from an early retreat as positive manufacturing and consumer sentiment reports offset a decline in personal income. The ISM survey revealed manufacturing activity in February expanded at its fastest pace in almost two years. The University of Michigan consumer confidence report increased to 77.6 in February from the previous reading of 76.3. Personal income unexpectedly fell -3.6% in January. The market also advanced ahead of the $85 billion in federal spending cuts expected to take effect at midnight.
Health care was the best performing sector. Intuitive Surgical (ISRG +8.53%) rallied as analysts defended the stock after the prior session's -11.0% drop. Consumer discretionary also outperformed with retailer The Gap Inc (GPS +2.89%) after announcing positive quarterly results and a dividend increase. Energy and materials were the laggards on the session. Halliburton Co (HAL -2.12%) and coal producer Consol Energy (CNX -4.70%) fell.
The 10-year note rose a 1/4 of a point to yield 1.84%.
An expansion in leadership was reassuring after Tuesday's new 52-week high totals were notably thin at 62 on the NYSE and 38 on the Nasdaq exchange, down drastically versus the totals reported in the 2/19/13 after-market report (read here) when there were 400 new 52-week highs on the NYSE and 240 new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of companies hitting new 52-week highs, so it is always essential to see meaningful leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs).
New buying efforts are to be avoided under the fact-based system since the market's (M criteria) weak action and damaging distribution was recognized as a correction earlier this week. Individual holdings should be watched closely while investors have a bias toward reducing market exposure until there is a new confirmed rally with a follow-through day noted.
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 recently found support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. That important short-term average and its recent low define near-term support where any further deterioration would bode poorly for the broader market outlook.

Biotech, Retail, and Bank Indexes' Gains Offset Commodity-Linked Weakness
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Biotechnology Index ($BTK +1.54%) was a standout gainer in the tech sector while the Networking Index ($NWX -0.41%) and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.36%) edged lower and the Internet Index ($IIX +0.32%) edged higher. The Retail Index ($RLX +0.65%) and the Bank Index ($BKX +0.31%) helped give the major averages a boost while the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.04%) finished flat. The Healthcare Index ($HMO +0.07%) also flat lined for the day. The Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.27%) posted a small gain but commodity-linked groups encountered pressure as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.85%) and Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.71%) lost ground.

PICTURED: The Retail Index ($RLX +0.65%) found support above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and above its prior highs during its recent consolidation.

New High Close After Finding Solid Support
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Netsuite Inc (N +$2.88 or +4.13% to $72.67) rallied to its best-ever close with today's 4th consecutive gain. It held its ground near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line recently and fought to stay above prior highs, showing good signs that institutional owners were supporting the stock. The latest action indicates that its shares are being accumulated and bid up.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 201 in Jun '11 to 317 in Dec '12, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. However, it reported earnings +20% on +33% sales revenues for the Dec '12 quarter, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) raising fundamental concerns for followers of the fact-based investment system.
The company had reported earnings increases above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) in the 5 prior quarterly comparisons. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history improved from losses prior to FY '09. Today the Computer Software -Enterprise group has a Group Relative Strength Rating of C, down from a B rating when Netsuite was last shown in this FSU section on 2/05/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Fundamental Flaw and Negative Reversal at High Raised Concerns". The stock made limited progress since it was highlighted in yellow in the 12/12/12 mid-day report with a pivot point cited based on its 10/26/12 high plus 10 cents (read here), however it seems to be rewarding patient investors even while the broader market (M criteria) entered a correction.

It still needs to produce gains above its pivot point before buying efforts may be justified under the fact-based system. The market (M criteria) also needs to produce a follow-through day to confirm a new rally after recent weakness raised concerns.
