Major Averages Tallied 3rd Consecutive Gains in New Rally Attempt

The major averages posted solid gains on Tuesday's session. The volume totals on the exchanges were reported higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 3-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange and by a 4-1 margin on the NYSE. New 52-week highs totals expanded and outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 65 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List making new 52-week highs and appearing on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from the prior session total of 35 stocks. There were gains for 7 of the 9 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

 

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied 152 points to 14,719. The index briefly fell 143 points around mid-session after the Associated Press' twitter account was hacked and sent out a false news report of an attack on the White House.

Stocks rallied from the opening bell as investors responded to positive corporate earnings reports. All 10 sectors on the S&P 500 were higher, led by gains in financials including Bank of America Corp (BAC +3%)  On the earnings front, Netflix Inc (NFLX +24.4%) rallied following a better-than-expected quarterly report that showed the company adding 2 million subscribers to their streaming service. Coach Inc (COH +9.8%) advanced after the luxury retailer topped analysts' estimates in the quarter and boosted their annual dividend by 13%. DuPont (DD +4.1%) and Texas Instruments (TXN +2.6%) rallied following their profit tallies.

Treasuries were lower with 10-year note down 3/32 to yield 1.70%.

The market's (M criteria) latest rally attempt is encouraging, however new buying efforts should still be avoided until there has been a follow-through day of meaningful gains (+1.4% or greater) from at least one of the major averages coupled with an expansion in leadership.  That kind of bullish action is necessary to confirm that any new rally has the characteristics of institutional accumulation which have marked the beginning of most sustained market advances.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index tallied a 3rd consecutive gain on Day 3 of a new rally attempt after finding support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. The window is open now for a possible follow-through-day within what has historically proven as most favorable window between Day 4-7 of a new rally attempt.

Tech, Financial, Retail, Energy, and Healthcare Groups Rose

The tech sector was led higher by the Internet Index ($IIX +2.07%) and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +2.10%) while the  Networking Index ($NWX +1.45%) and the  Biotechnology Index ($BTK +1.17%) followed with smaller gains.  A gain from the Retail Index ($RLX +1.13%) helped underpin the major averages' advance along with a positive bias in the influential financial groups as the Bank Index ($BKX +1.77%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.83%) both posted solid gains. The Healthcare Index ($HMO +1.24%) rose and energy-related shares traded up giving the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +1.34%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX +1.02%) both a boost. Meanwhile, the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.91%) was a standout laggard as it lost ground.

PICTURED: The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.83%) rebounded above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line with Tuesday's gain, an encouraging improvement in the technical stance of this influential financial group known as a reliable "leading indicator" for the broader market outlook.

Groups' Weakness and Slump Under 50 Day Moving Average Line Hurt Stance

Roadrunner Transportation Systems Inc (RRTS  $+$0.20 or +0.90% to 22.43) recently violated the recent low and slumped below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line triggering technical sell signals. Only a prompt rebound above that important short-term average would help its outlook improve. Its last appearance in this FSU section was on 4/03/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Encountering Distributional Pressure While Building a New Base", after highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 3/08/13 high plus 10 cents while consolidating in a flat base pattern in the earlier mid-day report (read here). Prior reports reminded members - "Disciplined investors may watch for a fresh technical breakout before taking action." The Transportation - Logistics group currently has seen the previously noted "mediocre (67) Relative Strength Rating slump to a more discouraging 31 rating, raising more serious concerns with respect to the L criteria. Investors' odds are most favorable when choosing stocks in groups that are showing better leadership rather than waning.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 168 in Jun '12 to 196 in Mar '13, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.  The company completed a new Public Offering on 12/06/12 and, technically, it broke out above previously stubborn resistance in $19 area with volume-driven gains in January. Regular readers may recall that, based on weak action, RRTS had been dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 5/18/12 following a choppy period. 

It reported earnings +26% on +24% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 versus the year ago period, continuing its streak of quarters with earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (satisfying the C criteria). Fundamentals remain strong enough to still satisfy the C and A criteria, however decelerating sales revenues and earnings increases in sequential quarterly comparisons through the Dec '12 quarter are noted as a concern. It is more ideal when a company shows accelerating sales revenues and earnings increases. 

Confirming volume-driven gains into new high ground from it and other leaders in the group would be a welcome reassurance to disciplined investors. But the longer it lingers below its 50 DMA line the worse its outlook gets.
