TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

Do not miss another "Ken's Mailbag Q&A" included near the bottom of this report below the Featured Stock Update table. Many members have voiced positive comments concerning this occasional inter-active feature with our Certified Expert, and we hope these informative exchanges may be helpful to all members.


Indices Fell With Higher Volume Despite More Issues Hitting New Highs

The major averages declined for a second consecutive day as disappointing economic releases offset positive earnings results. Disconcertingly, the major averages erased early gains and closed the session with losses. Meanwhile, Thursday's volume totals were reported higher again over the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, a sign of still more selling pressure (termed "distribution") by the institutional crowd. Breadth was not as negative as Wednesday's 2-1 ratio of decliners versus advancers, however decliners still had the lead over advancers by 3-2 on both the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The total number of stocks hitting new 52-week highs still outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 49 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 prior session total of 32 stocks. The session concluded with gains for 13 of the 34 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

 

The weekly initial jobless claims report showed 386,000 filed for first time unemployment benefits versus the consensus estimate of 370,000. Separate reports showed existing home sales unexpectedly fell in March and manufacturing activity in the Philadelphia region slowed this month. Europe also weighed on the market as rising yields of French and Spanish bonds renewed sovereign debt concerns.

Health care stocks gained with Gilead Sciences (GILD +12.10%) rallying on favorable data on its hepatitis C drug. Human Genome Sciences Inc. (HGSI +97.63%) blasted higher after rejecting a $2.6 billion bid from GlaxoSmithKline Plc (GSK +0.69%) Financials fell with Bank of America Corp (BAC -1.68%) down despite reporting an earnings beat. Tech was the worst performing sector. Qualcomm Inc (QCOM -6.6%) dropped on its reduced profit forecast. Quarterly results by bellwethers in financials, telecom and tech helped to somewhat stem the market's retreat. Shares of Morgan Stanley (MS +2.32%) rose on better-than-expected results. Verizon Communications Inc (VZ +1.20%) and EBay Inc (EBAY +13.24%) advanced after reporting earnings ahead of consensus expectations.

European markets closed lower. The DAX declined -0.9% in Germany. The FTSE gave back earlier gains to close down less than -0.1% in London.

The major averages' (M criteria) rally came under pressure and some analysts quickly called it market "correction", however a somewhat healthy crop of high-ranked stocks has still provided a fair dose of market leadership (stocks making new 52-week highs).  Any additional technical deterioration in the major averages' charts below their 50-day moving average lines and latest lows would raise greater concerns. That would prompt investors to reduce exposure to stocks and raise cash, rather than having a continued bias toward making new buys. On a case-by-case basis, eliminating any stocks showing signs of fundamental or technical weakness is precisely how the fact-based system helps investors raise cash and avoid setbacks during any market downturn.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index's recent low defines near-term support below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Medical Related Stocks Were Session's Standout Gainers

Financial shares backpedaled on Thursday, leading to modest losses for the Bank Index ($BKX -0.75%) and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.25%).  The Retail Index ($RLX -0.62%) also was a negative influence on the major averages along with losses for the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.07%), Networking Index ($NWX -0.51%), and a small loss for the Internet Index ($IIX -0.16%). The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.17%) was quiet and energy-related shares were mixed as the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.34%) edged higher and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.64%) ended with a modest loss. 

The Healthcare Index ($HMO +1.85%) was a standout among the session's gainers as it rallied up to its 50-day moving average line. That short-term average may now serve as a resistance level following the index's damaging losses that were discussed on 4/09/12 in the "Industry Group Watch" section (read here).

Deceleration And Disappointment No Problem For Disciplined Investors

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.

Tempur Pedic International Inc. (TPX -$3.51 or -4.02% to $83.75) fell today ahead of its earnings report. Disciplined investors know that no advantage comes to jumping in "early" without a reassuring burst of fresh institutional buying demand confirming a proper technical buy signal. After the close it reported earnings +22% on +18% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. That marked its weakest increases in years. It also emphasized the deceleration in its growth rate illustrated on its graph below which shows sequentially smaller increases. The company also issued disappointing guidance with its earnings release, and it traded down substantially in the after-hours. Had it produced better earnings, stronger technical action may have led to a meaningful advance. 

Its prior gain lacked great volume conviction as it wedged to a new high. TPX was then featured in yellow in today's mid-day report (read here) while pulling back. Its prominent appearance came with the following important note - "Due to report earnings after the close today. It has shown strong sales revenues and earnings increases in quarterly comparisons through Dec '11 and its annual earnings growth has been strong since a downturn in FY '08. Perched near 52-week and all-time highs hit on the prior session, no overhead supply remains to act as resistance. Since February it has been gradually wedging into new high territory without great volume conviction behind its gains. Tight closes on its weekly chart may be considered an advanced "3 weeks tight". Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 4/03/12 high plus 10 cents, and a volume-driven gain above its pivot point is still necessary to trigger a buy signal."


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.

G - Volume totals have been cooling while stubbornly holding its ground, a sign that few are exiting, while it remains perched near its 52-week high. Its latest consolidation has been brief, yet it may be forming an advanced "3-weeks tight" base well above its 50 DMA line and prior highs near $18-19 that define support to watch on pullbacks.

Volume-driven gains above the pivot point may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Subsequent damaging losses below its recent lows would raise more serious concerns and trigger additional sell signals.

G - Gapped up today, rallying from support at its 10-week moving average (WMA) line for a considerable volume-driven gain after reporting earnings +35% on +28% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Color code remains green yet some may consider it a secondary buy point up to +5% above the latest high, and it also can be labeled a "breakaway gap" from a late-stage "3-weeks tight" base, an advanced base pattern. While it may produce more climactic gains, disciplined investors always limit losses if any stock falls -7% from their purchase price. It is on track for a 10th consecutive weekly gain.

Y - Rising from its 50 DMA line and it finished today at a best-ever close but its gain came with below average volume. Volume-driven gains for a new high close would be an encouraging sign of fresh institutional buying demand that could lead to a meaningful advance. Meanwhile, deterioration below prior lows ($110.60 on 3/20/12) would trigger a more worrisome technical sell signal.

An upward trendline connecting its December, March, and April lows defines an initial support level to watch above additional support at prior highs in the $31 area and its 50 DMA line.

G - Volume totals have been cooling while consolidating above its 50 DMA line. Prior gains above its pivot point did not have volume sufficient to trigger a proper technical buy signal, and recent losses on higher volume (near average, but above prior session totals) indicate mild distributional pressure while working on a possible new base-on-base pattern.

Subscriber Question:

April 12, 2012

Dear Ken,

I see above your order page that satisfaction guarantee is displayed  What does that mean?  Is there a trial period to get a full refund?  Prorated return? Do you keep track of your YELLOW featured stocks and their returns until your system turns them into GREEN featured stocks?  This would be very helpful to see if this system really has something going for it.

Thanks for your help. Craig 

 
Ken's Response:

 April 19, 2012

Dear Craig:

Thanks for writing in with your questions. Our satisfaction guarantee is further explained just a little bit lower on the order page that you saw.
http://premium.canslim.net/orderforms1/specialoffer.asp? and I've copied it for you below too.
 
A previous "Ken's Mailbag" Q&A article - "What about a monthly membership?", may also be helpful to you by setting reasonable expectations for yourself and for our upgraded level of service.
 
REFUND POLICY: A full refund is given if we receive notification (phone or email) that you wish to cancel within 14 days, provided that you return the completed Refund Request form within 30 calendar days after the date your CANSLIM.net StockNews Membership was activated.

A pro-rated refund (monthly) is given if we receive the completed Refund Request more than 30 calendar days after your CANSLIM.net StockNews Membership was activated. You pay only the normal monthly rate ($49.95) for each month of service that has elapsed.
 
Please take time to review any of the premium reports that were published 6 months ago or more, as they illustrate the caliber of the day-to-day analysis our experts provide via notes and more detailed analysis with annotated graphs. Many questions that we are asked would answer themselves if more people simply took the time to study the archives we make freely available for your review!  http://premium.canslim.net/Archives/2011/default.asp
 
I can recall when stockbrokers working in my office 20 years ago questioned whether this system really had something going for it. I became convinced that it did some time before founding the website in 1996. Since that time we at CANSLIM.net have re-proven what was already proven successful and best explained in the book, "How To Make Money In Stocks". 
 
Our time-saving reports help busy investors reduce their research workload so they may not necessarily have to subscribe to other pay services in order to stay keenly focused on the most action-worthy candidates. The educational tone of our reports walks members through the tactical fact-based approach by discussing technical buy signals and sell signals and providing letter-by-letter details.  This can help members build knowledge and skill with the investment system we support. Since we do not know anything about our readers' risk tolerance, it would be irresponsible and maybe even illegal for us to make specific "recommendations" and provide "investment advice".  (Please see the site's Terms & Conditions page for the full legal disclaimers.) 
 
The ongoing work we do has not been aimed specifically at proving a unique track record to anyone, thus we do not track returns based on the stocks highlighted in CANSLIM.net reports.  Further to the questions or matters concerning Featured Stocks highlighted (yellow or green) in our reports, please know this - Some new stocks are highlighted in yellow while they may not have yet triggered a technical buy signal. You would have to read a few sentences worth of recent notes and prior analysis, perhaps, to determine that if you did not already know on your own. Other stocks are highlighted in yellow after they already did trigger a technical buy signal, but before they've gotten too extended from the proper range to accumulate their shares under the investment system's guidelines. Beyond that, stocks are noted as their color codes change from yellow to green, whether they ran up and got too extended, or if they broke down below a support level and raised concerns by triggering technical sell signals.  When they have a green color code the stocks continue getting noted regularly by our experts until they are either noted and dropped from the Featured Stocks list, or until they might be changed back to yellow with a new pivot point cited.
 
We appreciate any suggestions you may have on how we can improve our services. Please use the inquiry form if you have any other questions about the upgraded services we provide. We always say around here that if one person asks a question there were probably 20 other members who had the same question, but they were too busy and didn't take time to ask!

We wish you the utmost success with the fact-based investment system we support.

Best regards,

Kenneth J. Gruneisen
Founder & Contributing Writer for CANSLIM.net
