TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

Today we have a question from a member concerning "late-stage" bases. Many members have told us they enjoy the occasional "Ken's Mailbag" included below the FSU table near the bottom of the evening report. These segments share a recent Q&A between CANSLIM.net's founder, Kenneth J. Gruneisen, and a member who has written in with a question concerning our services or a stock they are curious about. Please feel free to submit your questions or any feedback you have for us via the inquiry form - click here.

Major Averages Finished April At New Recovery Highs
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
For the week the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose +2.4%, the S&P 500 Index gained +2.0%, and the Nasdaq Composite Index was up +1.9%. Volume totals were reported slightly higher than the prior session totals on both major stock exchanges, inflated by month-end window dressing. Advancing issues beat decliners by 9-5 on the NYSE and by 4-3 on the Nasdaq. New 52-week highs solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 101 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 82 on the prior session. On the Featured Stocks Page there were gains from 15 of the 20 high-ranked market leaders currently listed. New set-ups with strong characteristics and fresh breakouts from high-ranked leaders have been scarce in recent weeks, even while the major averages have rallied.

Earnings were the focus on Wall Street, yet gold gained 1% to a record settlement price in New York over $1,556 an ounce as the dollar continued its descent. Energy stocks came up winners as oil capped an eighth straight month of gains, settling at nearly $114 per barrel in New York.

The Dow added to its best weekly gain in a month, while the Nasdaq struggled in quiet trading before closing slightly higher. Caterpillar Inc (CAT +2.5%), Merck & Co Inc (MRK +0.50%), and Chevron Corp (CVX +0.58%) helped the Dow advance after each company reported better-than-expected profits. Microsoft Corp (MSFT -2.96%) and Research in Motion Ltd (RIMM -14.03%) were a drag on the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index . Microsoft posted disappointing sales in its Windows division, while Research in Motion cut its earnings forecast.

On Wednesday this week the Nasdaq Composite Index topped its October 2007 high. Regular readers of this commentary may recall earlier this year as we observed the S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index and S&P Small-Cap 600 Index each hitting new all-time highs. Earnings reports will continue to be a factor next week, and volume and volatility are often greater near earnings announcements.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index has posted gains in 7 of the past 8 sessions with below average volume while rallying to new recovery highs. The benchmark index rallied +2.8% during the month of April.

Commodity-Linked Groups Posted Best Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Commodity-linked groups posted gains as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.83%), Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.67%), and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +1.89%) finished higher on Friday. Modest losses from the influential Retail Index ($RLX -0.36%) and financial groups including the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.24%) and Bank Index ($BKX -0.23%) weighed on the major averages, limiting their ability to make greater progress. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.45%) and Networking Index ($NWX +0.57%) made modest gains but the Internet Index ($IIX -0.16%) ended with a small loss and the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -1.88%) was a laggard. The Healthcare Index ($HMO -0.51%) also pulled back.

PICTURED: The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.24%) closed at its downward sloping 50-day moving average (DMA) line which recently acted as resistance.

Overhead Supply Can Be the Source of Resistance
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Under Armour Inc (UA -$1.78 or -2.53% to $68.46) suffered another damaging loss today with above average volume that led to a close below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and under prior chart highs. The deterioration raised concerns and triggered a technical sell signal. Following its last appearance in this FSU section on 4/01/11 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Under Accumulation", it soon traded above its 2007 all-time high ($73.40) and rallied even further with above average volume. However, it was down considerably with heavy volume on 4/26/11 after reporting earnings +64% on +36% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 versus the year ago period.

A prompt rebound above that short-term average would help its outlook. That is where institutional owners often accumulate more shares and add to current holdings when they view a company's outlook as still favorable. Whenever a stock slices below the 50 DMA line and volume swells behind damaging losses, concerns increase because it is clear some institutional holders are headed for the exits, rather than accumulating near that important short-term average. While above average demand recently drove it to new highs, one must wonder where the enthusiastic buyers are hiding as it suddenly gives back the hard fought gains and falls on even heavier volume. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 308 in Mar '10 to 415 in Mar '11, so it had been showing very reassuring signs concerning the I criteria.

Rather than bargain hunting, disciplined investors might sooner consider any fresh breakouts that might emerge. Keep in mind that UA now faces resistance due to overhead supply created while it traded at higher levels for the past month. Earlier notes had acknowledged the downward turn in annual earnings (A criteria) in FY '08, a concern with respect to the fact-based investment system.

Dear Ken,

I'm having a great experience with your picks I just wished I jumped in sooner! Great work on your featured stock list and everything in it! I wanted to ask you about BIDU. You have repeatedly mentioned late-stage breakouts are more risky and prone to failure Can you explain what a late stage breakout means? And how do you count bases? Is it always 5 weeks in length? I believe late stage breakouts has something to do with less supply available for accumulation by institutions, but I'm not sure. Thanks Andy

Dear Andy,

Thanks very much for the positive feedback!

It can be tricky to count the stages since they may not all be perfect by-the-book base patterns. After you have seen 3 or 4 sound bases and breakouts that worked out, you are probably better off looking for a time to be selling, rather than looking to just get on board with a brand new entry.

The term "late-stage" is explained as follows on page 268 of the 4th edition of "How to Make Money in Stocks":

"Sell when your stock makes a new high in price off a third- or fourth-stage base. The third time is seldom a charm in the stock market. By then, an advancing stock has become too obvious, and almost everyone sees it. These late-stage base patterns are often faulty, appearing wider and looser. As much as 80% of fourth-stage bases should fail, but you have to be right in determining that this is a fourth-stage base."

I would count BIDU in the "obvious" category by now. It is not near its latest sound base which was cleared on 3/23/11.

The 5-week flat base is the minimum length base pattern among the basic and most popular bases the investment system has long recognized. An advanced base which we also may occasionally note in our analysis could include a "3-weeks tight", but this rare pattern requires a considerable run up of +70-100% in the past 9-16 weeks following a breakout from an earlier sound base pattern, followed by 3 very tight closes on its weekly chart. The phrase 'late-stage" is only appropriate when there were multiple bases formed and the stock has already enjoyed a considerable rally from its first-stage breakout.

Please feel free to contact me directly or let me know if I can be of any further help to you.

Best regards,
