Stocks Ended Mostly Higher With Lighter Volume Totals on the Exchanges

The major averages finished mixed on Monday. The volume totals were reported lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by 3-2 on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 73 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 117 stocks. New 52-week highs totals contracted yet solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 8 of the 12 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

 

The major averages were little changed in a generally quiet session. The market took a breather today after Friday's advance on a report that showed nonfarm payrolls unexpectedly rose 165,000 in April. With no major economic data released, corporate earnings garnered some attention. Tyson Foods (TSN -3.33%) to pace the consumer staples sector lower after the meat processor reported disappointing quarterly results. Financials were the best performing group in the S&P 500. Bank of America Corp (BAC +5.23%) on reports it reached a settlement with bond insurer MBIA related to a dispute over bad mortgage loans. Tech also outperformed on the session as shares of Apple Inc (AAPL +2.38%) and Google Inc (GOOG +1.9%) both traded higher. BMC Software Inc (BMC unchanged at $45.42) agreed to be acquired by two private equity firms for $6.9 billion. Utilities were the worst performing sector with Entergy Corp (ETR -2.77%). 

Treasuries were lower with the 10-year note down 7/32 to yield 1.76%

The market (M criteria) saw an expansion in leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) that reassured investors a confirmed uptrend is at hand. Watch for new stocks featured in the CANSLIM.net Mid-Day BreakOuts Report. Action-worthy leaders are covered on an ongoing basis with the latest notes and additional resource links included on the Featured Stocks Page.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index has a +13.4% gain year-to-date. Its recent gains into new high territory have come on light or near average volume. Found prompt support near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line violation. The indices' rally to new highs confirmed the market's uptrend which means odds are favorable for new buying efforts in stocks meeting all of the fact-based investment system's key criteria.

PICTURED: The Retail Index ($RLX +0.38%) added to Friday's gain, rallying to new 2013 highs. The strength in this influential index is a reassuring indicator hinting that the American consumer is not living in fear, but still out shopping and spending.

Found Support at 50-Day Average While Forming New Base

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.

Ambarella Corporation (AMBA +$0.74 or +5.30% to $14.70) was highlighted in yellow in the earlier mid-day report (read here) and it has returned to the Featured Stocks list. The new pivot point cited is based on its 4/01/13 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent volume-driven gains above the new pivot point may trigger a new technical buy signal. Patience may be required, as it may spend more time basing, meanwhile it faces some resistance due to overhead supply up through the $16 level. It found encouraging support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and flashed above average volume behind recent gains while building on a new base since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 4/18/13. Its last appearance in this FSU section with an annotated graph was on 4/17/13 under the headline, "Encountering Distributional Pressure in Recent Weeks". 

The high-ranked Electronics - Semiconductor firm reported earnings +80% on +28% sales revenues for the Jan '13 quarter. Its strong quarterly earnings comparisons versus the year ago periods satisfy the C criteria with increases above the +25% minimum guideline. It also has a good annual earnings (A criteria), however it has a limited history since its IPO at $6 on 10/10/12. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 51 in Dec '12 to 68 in Mar '13, a reassuring indication concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.4 is also an unbiased indication that its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. Its small supply (S criteria) of only 13.3 million shares in the public float can contribute to great price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
