Major Averages End Mixed on Day 4 of New Rally Attempt
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major averages finished mixed on Wednesday's session. The volume totals on the exchanges were reported slightly higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 7-5 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. New 52-week highs totals and outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 57 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List making new 52-week highs and appearing on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, down from the prior session total of 65 stocks. There were gains for 3 of the 9 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.
Stocks traded in a narrow range throughout the session as investors responded to a disappointing report on durable goods orders and a batch of mixed corporate earnings.
Seven of the 10 sectors on the S&P ended higher led by gains in material stocks. Shares of Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc (FCX +4.4%) rallied as gold prices advanced +1.5% to $1,429 an ounce. On the earnings front, Yum! Brands (YUM +7%) and Boeing (BA +3%) rallied after both companies topped analysts’ estimates in the quarter. On the downside, AT&T Inc (T -5%) as the company posted disappointing revenues and reported a net loss in cell phone subscribers.
Turning to fixed income markets, Treasuries were modestly higher along the curve. The benchmark 10-year note was up 1/16 of a point to yield 1.70% and the 30-year bond gained 9/32 to yield 2.89%.
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 Nasdaq Composite Index edged higher on Day 4 of a new rally attempt, having rebounded promptly after recently undercutting its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. The window is open for a possible follow-through-day within what has historically proven as most favorable window between Day 4-7 of a new rally attempt.

Commodity-Linked Groups Led Gainers
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +1.26%) led the tech sector while the Internet Index ($IIX +0.25%) edged higher, but the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -2.26%) and the Networking Index ($NWX -1.17%) lost ground. The Retail Index ($RLX -0.03%) finished flat while strength in the financial sector helped the major averages as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.46%) and the Bank Index ($BKX +1.15%) tallied gains. Energy-related shares had a positive bias as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +1.60%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX +2.21%) rose.
Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +6.31%) was a standout gainer, yet it is still well below its 50-day moving average (DMA) and 200 DMA lines.

Prior Highs Define Support After Slumping Under 50-Day Average
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
M W I Veterinary Supply (MWIV -$3.55 or -2.90% to $119.00) is trading near its November highs which define an important support level after slumping further below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. Its Relative Strength rating has slumped to 78, below the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates. Its last appearance in this FSU section with an annotated graph was on 4/04/13 under the headline, "Consolidating Above 50-Day Moving Average and Above Pivot Point". Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line violation on 4/15/13 raised concerns and triggered a technical sell signal. Disciplined investors limit losses by always selling if ever any stock fall more than -7% from their purchase price.
The high-ranked Medical - Wholesale Drug/Supplies firm reported earnings +26% on +24% sales revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 versus the year ago period, continuing its trend of recent quarterly earnings increases near the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Decelerating sales revenues increases in sequential quarterly comparisons through Dec '12 is a slight cause for concern while waiting and watching for the next quarterly report for the period ended March 31, 2013 versus the year ago period. Revenues rose by +38%, +35%, +31% and +24% in the Mar, Jun, Sep, and Dec '12 quarterly comparisons, respectively, versus the year ago periods. It is preferred when stocks show acceleration, rather than deceleration in their growth rates.
Its solid annual earnings history satisfies the A criteria. Its small supply (S criteria) of only 12.8 million shares outstanding could contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 266 in Mar '12 to 301 in Mar '13, a very reassuring sign of interest coming from the institutional (I criteria) crowd.

G - Gapped down today, retreating from a new all-time high hit on the prior session before reversing into the red. It is extended from any sound base. Its 50 DMA line ($111.45 now) defines important near-term support to watch.

Y - Managed a "positive reversal" after early weakness today, making a stand near its 50 DMA line ($71.67 now). More damaging losses would raise more serious concerns and trigger a worrisome technical sell signal.

Y - Rallied with near average volume for a 3rd consecutive gain today and hit a new 52-week high. Volume-driven gains above the pivot point may clinch a proper new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Its 50 DMA line and recent low define important near-term chart support to watch.

Y - Rallied for a new high close today but with light volume behind the gain, not volume indicative of institutional buying demand. Perched within close striking distance of its 52-week high and little resistance remains.
