Post-Holiday Expansion in New Highs Is Encouraging
Adam Sarhan, Contributing Writer,
The major averages opened higher and posted gain on Monday after the latest round of stronger than expected economic data was released. Volume totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange were reported lighter compared to Thursday's pre-holiday session totals. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by about a 3-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. New 52-week highs trumped new lows on both exchanges yet again. There were 79 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made a new 52-week high and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, a great expansion from the 43 issues that appeared on the prior session. A healthy crop of new leaders making new highs bodes well for any market rally, so the expansion in leadership was a welcome post-holiday improvement.
Monday was the first trading day after March's non-farm payrolls report was released. Stocks rallied around the world after the Labor Department reported the strongest monthly reading in payrolls since Q1 2007. The US dollar fell which also helped stocks and commodities rally. Crude oil broke out of a multi month base and hit a new multi month high as driving season approaches.
Elsewhere, the ISM released its service index which topped analysts' estimates. Separately, pending home sales unexpectedly rose which bodes well for the ailing housing market. The healthy housing data helped a slew of housing stocks rally as investors believe "the worst" is over concerning the housing market's downturn.
The benchmark S&P 500 Index currently has 4 distribution days while the Nasdaq Composite and Dow Jones Industrial Average have 3 since the March 1, 2010 follow-though-day (FTD). These distribution days have not been damaging, and normally it is considered healthy for the major averages to have less than 4 distribution days in a four week period. 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.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied to a new recovery high, however volume has been below average behind recent gains the blue chip index has tallied.

Strong Chip Group Underpins Tech Sector Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Financial shares and the Retail Index ($RLX +1.39%) underpinned Monday's positive post-holiday session as solid gains from the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.06%) and Bank Index ($BKX +1.91%) had a positive influence on the major averages. The tech sector was led higher by a big gain from the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +2.98%) while the Networking Index ($NWX +1.97%) and Internet Index ($IIX +1.48%) also posted solid gains, yet the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.36%) finished with a smaller gain. Defensive groups also rose as the Healthcare Index ($HMO +0.41%), Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +1.05%), Oil Services Index ($OSX +2.16%), and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +1.34%) tallied solid gains.

Gain Leaves Leader Extended From Ideal Base
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR +$0.46 or +0.48% to $96.94) posted a gain on very light volume today, closing just 67 cents below its best ever close. This high-ranked leader is extended from an ideal base and trading above the "max buy" level previously cited. Its gain on 3/08/10 with above average volume was noted as it triggered a most recent technical buy signal. Initial support to watch on pullbacks is at prior chart highs and its 50-day moving average (DMA) line now coinciding in the $88 area.
GMCR has shown mostly healthy action since showing up on 12/28/09 in the mid-day report (read here), returning the previously featured favorite to the Featured Stocks page at CANSLIM.net. Weak action had led it to be dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 12/01/09, but the repair of its prior 50-day moving average (DMA) line violation improved its outlook. Its has traded up as much as +282% since appearing with an annotated graph under the headline "It May Soon Be Time To Go Green" when featured in the January 2009 CANSLIM.net News (read here).

CTRP has been stalled at all-time highs since 3/25/10 when a detailed Stock Bulletin with annotated graph and expert analysis was published (read here).

Distributional action pressured it near that short-term average line last week, raising concerns. Color code was changed to green. It did not trigger a technical buy signal since it was featured in the March 2010 CANSLIM.net News monthly newsletter (read here). As previously noted, "Its gain on 3/02/10 was below the volume guidelines for buyable breakouts under the investment system."
