Indices' New Highs Argue That Market Has Returned to Confirmed Uptrend
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major averages finished higher on Monday. The volume totals on the exchanges were reported lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicating lackluster institutional buying demand. Breadth was positive as advancers outnumbered decliners by nearly 3-1 on the NYSE and by more than 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. New 52-week highs totals expanded and new highs solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. There were 60 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 42 stocks. There were gains for 7 of the 11 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.
The major averages posted solid gains on Monday. The S&P 500 Index finished at a best-ever close a new record high as it increased 11 points to 1,593. The Nasdaq Composite Index advanced to its highest closing level since November 2000 as it rallied over 27 points to 3,307.
Better-than-expected housing data helped push stocks higher as pending home sales increased +1.5% in March after a downwardly revised -1% loss in February. Other data showed consumer spending and income both rose by +0.2% in March. News that Italy's two-month political deadlock came to a close added to the positive tone after the country formed a coalition government.
Ultimately, all sectors gained ground. Technology was the best performing group as Apple Inc (AAPL +3.10%) rebounded from recent losses and Microsoft Corp (MSFT +2.58%) advanced. Materials and Energy stocks also paced the advance as commodities rallied, which pushed Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc (FCX +1.63%) and Chevron Corp (CVX +1.07%) advanced.
First-quarter earnings continued after the closing bell with notable profit tallies out from Express Scripts Holding Co (ESRX +0.92%), The Hartford Financial Services Group Inc (HIG +0.33%) , Newmont Mining Corp (NEM +1.49%) and Masco Corp (MAS -0.97%).
In fixed-income, Treasuries gave up earlier gains and finished slightly lower. The 10-year note was down 1/32 to yield 1.67% and the 30-year bond lost 11/32 to yield 2.88%.
The market (M criteria) is considered to be back in a "confirmed uptrend" because of the new closing highs from both the Nasdaq Composite and the S&P 500 Index on Monday. Although none of the major averages produced a solid follow-through-day within the most favorable period between Days 4-7 of the new rally attempt, the new highs from the indices argue sufficiently that the prior uptrend has resumed. Another encouraging characteristic of the current market is the latest expansion in leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs).
Watch for an announcement via email concerning the next WEBCAST. The webcast will also be available via an updated link highlighted at the top of the Premium Member Homepage.
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index rallied with lighter volume conviction as it hit a new 2013 high. It promptly repaired the recent violation of its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Financial, Tech, and Commodity-Linked Groups Led Gainers
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Retail Index ($RLX -0.06%) ended flat and the Healthcare Index ($HMO +0.12%) inched higher.

Found Support At 50 Day Average But Gains for New 52-Week Highs Lacked Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Linkedin Corp (LNKD +$0.63 or +0.34% to $188.39) rallied with near average volume recently for new 52-week highs. Gains above the pivot point backed by a minimum of +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a proper new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and recent low define important near-term chart support to watch. Its last appearance in this FSU section was on 4/05/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Extended From Prior Base 8-Weeks After Breakaway Gap".
Investors should be especially watchful for any subsequent sell signals, especially with consideration that the broader market direction (M criteria) is always likely to impact 3 out of 4 stocks. The company's fundamentals (C and A criteria) remain strong. The high-ranked leader from the Internet - Content group's Return On Equity of 13% is still below the 17% guideline, which is a minor concern. Ownership by top-rated funds has been on the rise, increasing from 601 in Jun '12 to 845 in Mar '13, a very reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.2 is an unbiased indication that its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.

Y - Finished below its 50 DMA line today after highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 3/20/13 high mid-point in an 11-week "double bottom" base pattern. Subsequent volume-driven gains above the pivot point are needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal before disciplined investors may consider taking action. Little resistance from overhead supply remains to hinder its progress. Reported earnings +33% on +27% sales revenues for the Mar '13 quarter, marking its 3rd consecutive quarter above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) have been improving since a downturn in FY '09. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.

Y - Perched within close striking distance of its 52-week high, Made a stand near its 50 DMA line recently with a "positive reversal" on 4/19/13. More damaging losses below the 50 DMA line or recent low ($70.09) would raise more serious concerns and trigger a worrisome technical sell signal.
