Major Averages Rose With Positive Breadth But Less Volume

The major averages rose to close near their best levels of the session on Tuesday. The volume totals were reported near or lower than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, a hint that institutional investors were not increasing their buying efforts while the market rose. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than 2-1 on both the NYSE and Nasdaq exchange. There were 72 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 53 stocks. Stocks hitting new 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for only 5 of the 11 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page, a disconcertingly weak showing from leading stocks versus the broader market's bullish bias on the day.

The major average advanced for a second consecutive day as investors await the results of the Fed’s two-day policy for indications whether the central bank may start tapering its $85 billion a month bond-buying program. The market was also higher after this morning's economic releases. Before the open, a report showed prices paid by consumers edged +0.1% higher in May, slightly below projections for a +0.2% increase. Food prices declined for the first time in four years.  Excluding food and energy, the consumer price index rose +0.2%, in line with consensus estimates. Separate releases showed housing starts were up +6.8% to 914,000 from a revised 856,000 in April while building permits fell -3.1% to 974,000 last month.   

All 10 sectors in the S&P 500 advanced on the session. General Electric Co (GE +2.36%) and FedEx Corp (FDX +1.09%) rose as Industrials were the best performing group. Tech shares including Garmin Ltd (GRMN +2.35%) and financial companies including American Express Co (AXP +1.54%) also advanced on the session. Telecom and consumer discretionary stocks outperformed as AT&T Inc (T +1.15%) and Best Buy Co Inc (BBY +2.37%).Consumer staples were the worst performing sector with Hormel Foods Corp (HRL -3.59%) down after the meat producer lowered its full-year earnings forecast.

Treasuries were little changed with the 10-year note flat to yield 2.18%.

A follow-through day of meaningful gains from at least one of the major averages on higher volume is an important reassurance to watch for in the near-term before investors might seriously consider new buying efforts.  Last week 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."

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index found support near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and a multi-month upward trendline defining important near-term support. 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.

Medical, Retail, Financial and Tech Groups Led Gainers

Medical related shares had a positive bias as the Healthcare Index ($HMO +2.08%) and the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +1.20%) posted gains. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +1.63%) led the tech sector higher while the Internet Index ($IIX +0.87%) and the Networking Index ($NWX +0.58%) posted smaller gains.  The Retail Index ($RLX +1.05%) and gains in financial shares added a positive influence on the major averages as the Bank Index ($BKX +0.81%) and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.96%) both ratcheted higher. Gains in energy-related shares also boosted the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.72%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.27%). Meanwhile, the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -2.61%) was a clear laggard as the classic "safe haven" group slumped for a big loss on the mostly positive session.

PICTURED: The Healthcare Index ($HMO +2.08%) was a standout gainer as it rallied near its May high.

Wedging Higher on Track for 9th Weekly Gain

FleetCor Technologies, Inc. (FLT +$1.05 or +1.19% to $89.12) has been wedging to new all-time highs without especially strong volume behind its latest gains. FLT currently has a 9-week winning streak going and it was last shown in this FSU section on 5/31/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Institutional Accumulation Lifted This Leader", after noted in the mid-day report on 5/29/13 with a new pivot point cited based on its 5/03/13 high, and it rose from an advanced "3-weeks tight" base with a gain on the session backed by +56% above average volume. It may go on to produce more climactic gains, however this was a riskier "late-stage" base. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line defines support where a violation would raise concerns and trigger a technical sell signal.

 It reported earnings +50% on +32% sales for the Mar '13 quarter, marking its 5th consecutive quarterly comparison with earnings above the +25% guideline (C criteria). The company completed another Secondary Offering on 3/08/13 after a streak of volume-driven gains into new high territory. On 3/14/12, 6/11/12, and 11/29/12 it priced Secondary Offerings and it was previously noted, "Such offerings often are a short-term hindrance to upward price progress yet typically result in broader institutional ownership interest."

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 193 in Mar '12 to 365 in Mar '13, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.5 is also an unbiased indication that its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. The company hails from the Finance - Credit Card Payment Processing group which currently has a mediocre 65 Group Relative Strength Rating, however impressive strength and leadership from a couple of other firms in the same industry group is considered sufficient reassurance concerning the L criteria.

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.
