Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 Index Both Hit New Record Highs

Stocks gained ground in Tuesday's session. The Dow set a fresh record high as it rose 87 points to 15,056. The S&P 500 Index closed at an all-time high for the fourth consecutive day as it gained over 8 points to 1,625.  The volume totals were reported higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange indicating an increase in institutional buying interest. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by 3-1 on the NYSE and 3-2 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 90 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 73 stocks. New 52-week highs totals expanded and solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 9 of the 13 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

With no major economic data for a second day, investors focused on another batch of earnings reports. DirecTV (DTV +6.88%) rallied after handily beating analyst estimates thanks to better-than-expected growth in Latin America. Energy stocks were led higher by EOG Resources Inc (EOG +7.66%) advance after posting strong earnings results and an encouraging five-year outlook. Overall, nearly every sector finished higher. Telecommunications was the best performing group as Verizon Communications Inc (VZ +1.67%) and AT&T Inc (T +1.16%) rose. Materials and Industrials also helped pace the advance as Mosaic increased (MOS +1.78%) and FedEx Corp (FDX +3.42%). Technology stocks took a breather following a three-day rally as Apple Inc (AAPL -0.45%) and Adobe Systems Inc (ADBE -1.91%) fell.

In fixed-income, Treasuries extended their losing streak and a government auction of 3-year notes garnered weaker than average demand. The 10-year note lost 6/32 to yield 1.78% and the 30-year bond declined 13/32 to yield 3.00%. 

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. 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 Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above the psychologically important 15,000 level. The Blue Chip Index has a +14.89% gain year-to-date. Its recent gains into new high territory have come on light or near average volume. Found support well above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. 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.

Forming New Base and Fundamentals Remain Strong

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.

Nationstar Mtg Hldgs Inc (NSM +$2.25 or +5.96% to $39.99) was highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 2/15/13 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here) and it has returned to the Featured Stocks list.  Its fundamentals remain favorable with respect to the C and A criteria. Today it gapped up nearly challenging its 52-week high and previously stubborn resistance in the $41-42 area with a considerable volume-driven gain. It still faces some resistance due to overhead supply.  Disciplined investors will watch for convincing proof of fresh institutional buying demand to trigger a new technical buy signal before taking action.

Nationstar's last appearance in this FSU section with an annotated graph was on 10/11/12 under the headline, "Upward Trendline and 50-Day Moving Average Define Support to Watch". A steep upward trendline connecting July-September lows defined a near-term support level to watch above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line, and subsequent violations raised concerns and triggered technical sell signals. It found support above its 200-day moving average (DMA) line during its latest consolidation. It reported strong earnings and sales increases for the Mar '13 quarter well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria), continuing its strong earnings growth history. Today the Finance - Mortgage Related Services group has a mediocre Group Relative Strength Rating of C, however leadership from at least one other high-ranked company in the group is a reassuring sign concerning the L criteria. NSM has attracted increasing ownership interest from top-rated funds, rising from 119 funds in Jun '12 to 204 in Mar '13, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.

Y - Pulling back today with volume running at an above average pace. May spend more time basing as it was noted that it faces resistance due to overhead supply up through the $16 level. Found encouraging support at its 50 DMA line and flashed above average volume behind recent gains while building on a new base. Volume-driven gains above the new pivot point are needed to trigger a new technical buy signal. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.
