Major Averages Rose With Better Volume Behind Gains

On Monday the major averages finished with solid gains. The volume totals were reported higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, a reassuring sign that institutional investors increased their buying efforts. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than 2-1 on the NYSE and by nearly a 2-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 53 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 33 stocks. The number of stocks hitting new 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 7 of the 11 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page

 

The major averages ended the session in positive territory ahead of the Fed's two-day monetary policy meeting. Better-than-expected economic data also provided a tailwind to the market. Before the open, a report showed manufacturing activity in New York unexpectedly expanded in June. A separate release revealed homebuilder sentiment increased to its best level in seven years. Stocks pared gains heading into the closing bell after an article in the Financial Times suggested Chairman Bernanke may signal the central bank is close to tapering its bond-buying program during his press conference on Wednesday.

Nine of 10 sectors in the S&P 500 advanced on the session.  Hess Corp (HES +2.30%) and Cisco Systems Inc (CSCO +2.53%) tallied gains as energy and technology were the best performing groups. Telecom was the worst performing sector with Verizon Communications Inc (VZ -0.70%) ended with a loss. Netflix Inc (NFLX +7.1%) was a notable gainer, rallying after announcing a content deal with DreamWorks Animation.

Treasuries were mostly lower with the 10-year note down 11/32 to yield 2.17%.  

The damage worsened last week and the market (M criteria) weakness was labeled a "correction" as this commentary reminded members - "Be protective of any gains, and limit losses!  Be especially watchful for any individual issues flashing technical sell signals.  It is vitally important to your success with the fact-based investment system to reduce exposure and preserve cash during market downdrafts."

As always, watch upcoming CANSLIM.net reports for new action-worthy leaders best matching the winning models to be covered as they emerge and then included on the Featured Stocks Page - with our Certified experts' latest notes and links to additional resources including detailed analysis with annotated graphs.  The Premium Member Homepage - includes "dynamic archives" to all prior pay reports published. Watch for an announcement via email concerning the next WEBCAST.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and above recent lows defining near-term support. Time alone will tell if the correction continues with damage escalating, or if a new rally can produce meaningful confirmation and conviction behind additional gains. The window is now open for a follow-through day (FTD) of gains from the major averages within the most ideal period 4-7 days after the major averages halted their latest slide.

Financial, Retail, Energy, and Tech Groups Rose

Strength in financial shares underpinned the major averages' rally on Monday as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +2.00%) outpaced the Bank Index ($BKX +0.76%).  The Retail Index ($RLX +0.62%) posted a modest gain and also was a positive influence on the major averages. Gains in energy-related shares boosted the Oil Services Index ($OSX +1.76%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +1.06%).  The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +1.46%) and Internet Index ($IIX +1.00%) led the tech sector higher while the Networking Index ($NWX +0.37%) posted a smaller gain, but the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.11%) ended the session slightly in the red.  Meanwhile, the Healthcare Index ($HMO +1.08%) led defensive groups higher while the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.44%) posted a smaller gain.

Faltering Fundamental and Technical Characteristics Raise Concerns

Air Lease Corp (AL +$0.11 or +0.40% to $27.85) is still consolidating below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line which may continue to act as resistance. Gains above that short-term average are needed for it to improve its technical stance and help its near-term outlook. It completed a Secondary Offering on 5/31/13. The company reported earnings +38% on +45% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 versus the year ago period. The result was below analysts' estimates yet well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). However, its earnings Per Share Rank has subsequently fallen from 84 to 71, below the 80+ minimum for buy candidates (see red circle). Its Relative Strength Rating has also slumped below the 80+ minimum guideline to 72. Decelerating sales revenues and earnings increases in sequential quarterly comparisons through Dec '12 were noted as cause for some concern, and the Mar '13 comparison continued that worrisome trend. 

It is still a fairly good match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines (C and A criteria), however it would be more ideal for a company to show sales and earnings acceleration. Couple the fundamental concerns with its technical weakness and it gets harder to argue for giving the Commercial Services - Leasing firm much latitude. Disciplined investors always limit losses if any stock falls -7% from their purchase price.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares edged higher from 177 in Sep '12 to 187 in Mar '13 which is slightly reassuring concerning the I criteria. AL was last shown in this FSU section on 5/30/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Weak Technical Action Triggered Sell Signal", after it violated important support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line with volume-driven losses which raised concerns and triggered a technical sell signal.

Y- Hovering near its all-time high with volume totals recently cooling. Rose from an advanced "3-weeks tight" base with its 5/29/13 gain on +56% above average volume. It may go on to produce more climactic gains, however this was a riskier "late-stage" base.

G - Slumping below its 50 DMA line today, weak amid a mostly positive market, and its color code is changed to green. Churned above average volume without making meaningful price progress in the past 2 weeks. Up/Down Volume Ratio is currently 0.7 which is an unbiased indication it has been encountering distributional pressure over the past 50 days. The recent low ($21.49 on 5/23/13) defines important near-term chart support where a violation would raise more serious concerns.
