Major Averages Rose With Lighter Volume Totals

Monday's small gains for the major averages were backed up by volume totals that were reported 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 7-6 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 80 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List making new 52-week highs and appearing on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up nicely from the prior session's total of 47 stocks. There were gains for 9 of the 14 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

 

The market was able to rally despite concerns as China's services industries expanded last month at the slowest pace since September 2012. The nation's government also ordered fresh measures to curb property prices. On our shores, the ISM's reading on New York business activity increased in February to its best level since April of last year. Washington also remained in focus. House Speaker Boehner said no headway was made over the weekend with President Obama on a deal to avoid automatic budget cuts that went into effect last Friday. Europe also garnered attention as EU leaders are meeting in Brussels to discuss the planned bailout for Cyprus.

Earnings results were limited. Transocean Ltd (RIG +0.8%) edged higher after topping profit expectations and reinstating its dividend payment. Industrial and material stocks weighed on the market as Cliffs Natural Resources Inc (CLF -5.82%) fell.

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.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and prior highs.

Gold & Silver Index Slumping to Multi-Year Lows

The Retail Index ($RLX +1.49%) posted a solid gain on Monday while strength from financial shares underpinned the major averages as the Bank Index ($BKX +1.18%) and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.61%) posted gains. The tech sector was mixed as the Networking Index ($NWX -0.50%) and Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.25%) edged lower and the Internet Index ($IIX +0.46%) and the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +1.05%) tallied gains. Energy-related shares were also mixed as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.50%) edged higher while the Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.23%) lost ground. The Healthcare Index ($HMO -0.93%) also edged lower, not rewarding defensively positioned investors.

Financial Firm Has Formed Ideal Base But Needs Confirming Gains

Often, when a leading stock is setting up to breakout of a solid base it is highlighted in CANSLIM.net's Mid-Day Breakouts Report. The most relevant factors are noted in the report which alerts prudent CANSLIM oriented investors to place the issue in their watch list. After doing any necessary backup research, the investor is prepared to act after the stock triggers a technical buy signal (breaks above its pivot point on more than +50% average turnover) but before it gets too extended from a sound base. In the event the stock fails to trigger a technical buy signal and its price declines then it will simply be removed from the watch list. Disciplined investors know to buy as near as possible to the pivot point and avoid chasing stocks after they have rallied more than +5% above their pivot point. It is crucial to always limit losses whenever any stock heads the wrong direction, and disciplined investors sell if a struggling stock ever falls more than -7% from their purchase price.

Everbank Financial Corp (EVER  +$0.16 or +1.05% to $15.37) was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 1/15/13 high while building on a "double bottom" base pattern in the earlier mid-day report (read here). It needs subsequent volume-driven gains above its pivot point to trigger a technical buy signal, meanwhile the market (M criteria) also needs to confirm a new rally to signal that odds are favorable for investors.

It reported earnings +44% on +54% sales revenues for the Dec '12 quarter satisfying the C criteria with its 3rd quarter with earnings above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria)." The number of top-rated funds owning its shatres rose from 101 in Jun '12 to 147 in Dec '12 a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. The Banks - Southeast industry group has a high 88 Relative Strength Rating while other strong leadership in the group also helps in satisfying the L criteria. 


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.

Reported earnings +48% on +31% sales revenues for the Sep '12 quarter, marking only its 2nd quarter with earnings above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria)."

Y - Patient investors may watch for the market (M criteria) to produce a new confirmed rally with a follow-through day from at least one of the major averages before the stock gets too extended. Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point based on its 2/05/13 high plus 10 cents. Spiked to another new 52-week high last week clearing an advanced "3-weeks tight" base pattern formed since it technically broke out of a sound base on 2/04/13. Reported earnings +26% on +24% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 versus the year ago period, continuing its trend of recent quarterly earnings increases near the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). It has shown resilience in recent months after rebounding impressively from its lows since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 8/05/11.
