Major Averages Posted Gains With Better Volume Conviction
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
On Tuesday the major averages posted gains and finished near their session highs. The reported volume totals were higher than the prior session totals on both the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE, but decliners had a narrow 8-7 lead over advancers on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 9 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 7 stocks on the prior session. The new 52-week highs and new 52-week lows totals were evenly matched on the NYSE while new 52-week lows solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 3 of the 4 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page, a list that has grown shorter as numerous leaders have broken down in recent weeks. The Market (M criteria) pullback earned the label of a "correction" as a result of recent pressure on the indices, especially the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index, coupled with waning leadership (fewer stocks hitting new 52-week highs). Investors are reminded to limit losses by always selling any stock that falls more than -7% from their purchase price. This is precisely how the fact-based investment system prompts investors to reduce their overall market exposure during weak periods.
At the end of the choppy trading session on Tuesday the Dow was up 89 points to 16,262. The S&P 500 gained 12 points to 1842. The NASDAQ was up 11 points to 4,034.
The major averages advanced for a second day as investors weighed updates on the economy and corporate profits. Before the open, reports showed consumer prices increased +0.2% in March while activity in the Fed's New York region unexpectedly slowed in April. A separate release revealed homebuilder sentiment rose less than projected this month. Investor attention also focused on the mounting tension in Ukraine.
On the earnings front, Coca-Cola (KO +3.7%) rallied after revenues topped analyst projections. Johnson & Johnson (JNJ +2.1%) rose following its better-than-expected quarterly results and increased full-year forecast. Shares of Northern Trust (NTRS -2.6%) after the bank's earnings fell short of estimates. Intel (INTC +0.8%) and Yahoo! (YHOO +2.3%) rose ahead of their scheduled profits results after the close.
Nine of 10 sectors were higher on the session. Energy and utilities were the best performing groups as Chevron (CVX +1.4%) and Exelon (EXC +2%) rose. Consumer Discretionary was lone sector down, and casino operator Wynn Resorts (WYNN -3.6%) paced the decline.
Treasuries rose with the 10-year note climbing 6/32 to yield 2.62%.

PICTURED 1: The S&P 500 Index rebounded near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. That short-term average may act as a resistance level. A rally back above the 50 DMA line would be an encouraging sign, especially if accompanied by higher volume totals and an expansion in leadership (stocks making new 52-week highs).
PICTURED 2: The Nasdaq Composite Index undercut prior lows and tested support at its 200-day moving average (DMA) line yet managed a positive reversal.

Financial, Tech, and Energy-Linked Groups Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.76%) and the Bank Index ($BKX +0.77%) both posted modest gains which had a positive influence on the major averages on Tuesday. The Retail Index ($RLX +0.01%) finished flat. The tech sector saw unanimous gains of less than +1% from the Networking Index ($NWX +0.57%), Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.70%), and the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.84%). Energy-related groups also had a positive bias as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.99%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX +1.41%) rose.
Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -2.09%) was a clear laggard as it lost ground. It ran into resistance at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line on the last rally effort and has slumped back below its 200 DMA line toward the March lows.

Market conditions (the M criteria) are challenging at times. There are few stocks included on the Featured Stocks list and none of the companies need additional review in detail with annotated graphs. At times like these we have an opportunity to look back and review previously featured stocks which were dropped, which can serve as an educational review of the investment system's tactics and a reminder that high-ranked leaders eventually fall out of favor.

Most Recent Note - 4/14/2014 5:56:04 PM
G - Touched a new high today then reversed into the red for a small loss and ended near the session low. Holding its ground and in strong shape, technically, despite fundamental concerns recently noted. Its 50 DMA line defines near-term support where a violation may trigger a technical sell signal.

G - Finished just below its 50 DMA line after undercutting prior highs in the $57 area and its color code is changed to green. More damaging losses below its recent low ($55.65 on 4/07/14) would raise greater concerns. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and new annotated graphs.
