Major Averages Pull Back From Recovery Highs
Adam Sarhan, Contributing Writer,
The major averages, US Treasuries, the euro and a slew of commodities pulled back as the US dollar advanced after Portugal's debt was downgraded by Fitch. The volume totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange were reported slightly higher compared to Monday's totals. Decliners led advancers by a 2-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 29 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made a new 52-week high and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, lower than the 77 issues that appeared on the prior session. New 52-week highs again overwhelmingly trumped new lows on both exchanges.
Overnight, Fitch Ratings downgraded Portugal due to its ballooning debt. This coupled with the fact that France and Germany are close to reaching a deal with the IMF to rescue Greece sent the euro plunging. Investors are concerned that more European countries will need to be bailed out as they struggle to deal with their mounting debt. The euro fell against 12 of its 16 peers and hit a new 10-month low against the greenback. The US dollar's rally put pressure on US stocks and commodities. The Reuters/Jefferies CRB Index of commodities slid to a five-week low, dragged lower by oil, gold, lead, and copper.
Economic data was mixed on Wednesday: durable goods were up while new home sales fell. Durable goods topped estimates and rose for a third consecutive month which was a healthy sign for the economic recovery. Meanwhile, new home sales fell -2.2% to a 308,000 annual rate. Overseas, Europe received some healthy economic data: European services and manufacturing grew at the fastest pace since August 2007 and German business confidence rose.
The fact that there has only been one distribution day since the follow-though-day (FTD) bodes well for this nascent rally. It is also a welcome sign to see the market continue to improve as investors digest the latest round of stronger than expected economic and earnings data. Remember that now that a new rally has been confirmed, the window is open to proactively be buying high quality breakouts meeting the investment system guidelines. Trade accordingly.

Gold and Silver Index Dives Below 50 and 200 Day Average Lines
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Financial shares were mixed as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.61%) ended slightly lower and the Bank Index ($BKX +0.42%) posted a small gain. Meanwhile most other groups fell on Wednesday, and the Retail Index ($RLX -1.13%) was among the many negative influences on the major averages. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.91%) led the tech sector lower, followed by smaller losses for the Networking Index ($NWX -0.91%), Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.71%), and Internet Index ($IIX -0.40%). Defensive areas also suffered losses as the Healthcare Index ($HMO -1.27%) fell and the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.85%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.80%) lost ground.
Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -3.54%) violated its 50-day and 200-day moving average lines which have nearly converged for the first time since their bullish crossover in April. A bearish crossover would not bode well for gold bugs, as it could signal further downside for the near term.

Upward Trendline Defines Initial Chart Support Level
Kevin Thomas
Baidu.com, Inc. (BIDU +$13.62 or +2.29% to $608.50) traded up today for a 4th consecutive gain and yet another new high close. It is extended from any sound base now. An upward trendline connecting its January-March lows is an initial chart support level to watch, where a subsequent violation may prompt investors to lock in gains. It has marched steadily higher since reporting earnings and raising guidance on 2/10/10 when its considerable gain was backed by volume more than 3 times average. No overhead supply exists to hinder its progress, but it is too extended from any sound base to be bought within the guidelines now. It has risen from $357 when appearing in this FSU section on 9/08/09 under the headline Baidu Near Multi-Year Highs, But Decelerating Growth Is A Concern.
Compelling proof that institutional investors are accumulating the high-ranked Internet- Content firm's shares is that the number of top-rated funds owning BIDU's shares rose from 103 in Dec '08 to 207 in Dec '09. That is solid evidence its shares were being accumulated by the institutional (I criteria) crowd. It has a stellar sales and earnings history that satisfies the C & A criteria. However it has not formed any recent sound base and is extended from an earlier "double bottom" base pattern that was identified based upon its December low and January's lower low. Technically it triggered a technical buy signal and was featured in yellow on 1/13/10 as it cleared the 12/29/09 high mentioned in the 1/12/10 note.

Color code is changed to yellow based on its resilience, however a gain above its pivot point or its most recent chart highs with +50% above average volume or more is still needed to confirm a fresh technical buy signal. Completed an offering of additional shares on 3/03/10, shortly after featured in the March 2010 issue of CANSLIM.net News (read here).
