Major Averages Posted 4th Consecutive Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks extended their winning streak to a fourth straight session on Wednesday. The volume totals were reported mixed, higher on the Nasdaq exchange and lighter on the NYSE. Advancers led decliners by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and 5-4 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 54 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from the total of 48 stocks on the prior session. The list of stocks hitting new 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Gains were posted by 6 of the 9 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page. The S&P 500 Index's rally for another new all-time high helped signal that the Market (M criteria) has returned to a confirmed uptrend. Investors are reminded only make new buying efforts in issues meeting all key criteria while also trading within the proper technical guidelines.
 The Dow rose 40 points to 16,573. The S&P 500 climbed 5 points to notch a new all-time high at 1,890. The NASDAQ advanced 8 points to 4,276.
The major averages finished a choppy trading session in positive territory following generally positive updates on the economy. Before the open, the ADP private payrolls survey showed 191,000 were added in March, slightly missing the consensus projection of 195,000. A separate released revealed factory orders unexpectedly grew +1.6% in February compared an expected +1.2% increase.
On the earnings front, Monsanto (MON +0.76%) was higher after posting results above consensus and raising its full-year forecast. Agrium (AGU -1.40%) retreated on its reduced first-quarter earnings guidance.
Nine of 10 sectors in the S&P 500 were up on the session. Materials and industrials were the best performing groups. Caterpillar (CAT +2.83%) putted higher and Newmont Mining (NEM +3.37%) rallied as the price of gold advanced. . Utilities were the lone sector to finish down on the day. Edison International (EIX -1.17%).
Treasuries were down on the session with the 10-year note losing 14/32 to yield 2.80%.

Retail, Broker/Dealer, and Commodity-Linked Groups Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Retail Index ($RLX +0.67%) rose on Wednesday and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.80%) was also a positive influence while the Bank Index ($BKX +0.01%) finished flat. Energy-related shares had a slightly positive bias as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.25%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.37%) posted modest gains. The Networking Index ($NWX +0.57%) led the tech sector with a modest gain and the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.36%) also edged higher, meanwhile the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.16%) ended slightly lower. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +2.17%) was a standout gainer.
Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The Retail Index ($RLX +0.67%) met resistance in March near its Dec '13 highs then slumped badly. The longer-term 200-day moving average acted as support during the deep consolidation. Wednesday it rebounded back above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line with its 4th consecutive gain.

After Damaging Losses a Rebound Above 50 DMA Line is Needed
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc (VRX +$0.44 or +0.33% to $133.69) is still consolidating below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line after recent damaging losses triggered a technical sell signal. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.8 is an unbiased indication its shares have faced distributional pressure over the past 50 days. VRX was last shown in this FSU section on 3/17/14 with annotated daily and weekly graphs under the headline, "Finding Support Above 50-Day Moving Average Line". A prompt rebound above the 50 DMA line is needed to help its outlook improve. Subsequent deterioration below the recent low ($124.67 on 3/27/14) would raise more serious concerns and trigger additional sell signals. Meanwhile, patient investors may watch for improvement and wait for a new sound base to possibly develop and be noted in the future.
It reported better than expected Dec '13 quarterly results with earnings +76% on +109% sales revenues, above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). A downturn in FY '07 and '08 earnings (A criteria) was been followed by a strong earnings rebound in recent years.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 818 in Mar '12 in to 1,086 in Dec '13, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria. The high-ranked Medical - Ethical Drugs firm completed Public Offering on 6/18/13. The upshot of Public Offerings is that when completed the end result is typically an increase in the total number of institutional owners. Institutional owners are often supportive of their existing positions and will even accumulate more shares when they consolidate near classic support levels like the 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines, if they are still believers in the company. If too many become pessimistic and decide to unload, this is what ends up sending the stocks slicing through support.

G - Hitting yet another new high with today's 4th consecutive gain. Held its ground since reporting earnings -2% on +22% sales revenues for the Dec '13 quarter, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), raising fundamental concerns. Its 50 DMA line defines near-term support where a violation may trigger a technical sell signal.
