Major Averages Rise With Lighter Volume

The major averages posted gains on Monday while the volume totals were reported lighter on the Nasdaq exchange and the NYSE. Advancers led decliners by 2-1 on the NYSE and by 11-6 on the Nasdaq. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the Nasdaq exchange and the NYSE. There were 34 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from the total of 28 on the prior session. There were 13 gainers out of the 14 of the high-ranked leaders currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

 

A report on May personal spending was weaker than expected. Spending fell to the lowest level since June 2010. The report suggested the Fed may maintain an accommodative monetary policy for an extended period. Gains in bank and tech stocks were a welcome sign on Wall Street following three days of losses.

New capital rules on banks were not as harsh as feared, and Europe appeared to move away from debt crisis as French banks agreed to accept slower repayment of Greek debt. Bank of America Corp (BAC +3.14%) benefited from an analyst call that the stock was undervalued.

Microsoft Corp (MSFT +3.70%) and Take Two Interactive Software Inc (TTWO +2.3%) rose after the Supreme Court struck down a law prohibiting the sale of violent video games to minors. Stanley Black & Decker Inc (SWK +0.3%) rose after it offered to buy a Swedish firm to expand in the market for electronic security systems.

Monday's gain marked Day 1 of a new rally attempt for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, and the blue chip index is +4.0% year-to-date (YTD). The Nasdaq Composite Index is also consolidating above its 200 DMA line and just +1.3% YTD after  having completed Day 6 of its current rally attempt.

A follow-through day (FTD) from at least one of the major averages occurring between Day 4 and Day 7 of a new rally is considered the most ideal confirmation of a new rally attempt. To produce a solid FTD there should be a gain of at least +1.4% or more from at least one of the major averages, and the gain must come with higher volume and an expansion in leadership (new 52-week highs). Meanwhile, any deterioration under the Day 1 lows would officially end the nascent rally attempt and signal that the market's correction is continuing. 

Upgraded members will have access to the upcoming Q2 2011 Webcast scheduled for Wednesday, June 29th at 8PM EST and the July 2011 issue of CANSLIM.net News to be released soon afterward. 

PICTURED: The benchmark S&P 500 Index is holding on to a +1.78% gain YTD, now consolidating above its 200-day moving average (DMA) line after having completed Day 8 of its current rally attempt.

Financial, Retail, Tech Groups Post Quiet Gains

Modest gains from the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.45%) and Bank Index ($BKX +1.38%) coupled with a gain from the Retail Index ($RLX +1.03%) and strength in the tech sector gave the major averages some solid underpinnings on Monday. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.71%), Internet Index ($IIX +1.26%), Biotechnology Index ($BTK +1.30%), and Networking Index ($NWX +1.3%) finished unanimously higher.  The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.15%) inched higher, energy-related gains helped give the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.31%) and  Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.64%) a modest lift, and the Healthcare Index ($HMO +1.40%) posted a solid gain.

Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Biotechnology Index ($BTK +1.30%) recently slumped under its 50-day moving average (DMA) line, but remains well above its prior highs and 200 DMA line.

Thinly Traded Finance Firm Faces Little Resistance

Credit Acceptance Corp (CACC +$1.55 or +1.99% to $79.53) is a high-ranked leader in the Finance - Consumer Loans industry consolidating just above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. It faces little resistance due to overhead supply while now perched -3.4% off its 52-week high. Its color code was changed back to yellow after its recent resilience. Disciplined investors may watch for gains above its recent highs and wait for a follow-through day from at least one of the major averages to confirm a new rally (M criteria). Meanwhile, recent lows near $75 define important support to watch just below initial support at its 50 DMA line. It has endured distributional pressure since its last appearance in this FSU section on 06/06/11 with an annotated weekly graph under the headline, "Increasing Ownership By Top-Rated Funds is a Plus". It was featured in yellow in the 6/02/11 mid-day report with an annotated daily graph (read here) with a pivot point based on its 52-week high plus 10 cents.  

It is thinly traded (42,100 shares average daily volume) and has a small supply (S criteria) of shares outstanding. Its strong earnings history satisfies the C and A criteria. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 181 in Jun '10 to 219 in Mar '11, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria of the fact-based system. The M criteria currently argues against new buying efforts until a new confirmed rally with follow-through day (FTD). Meanwhile, a subsequent gain above its pivot point with heavy volume, coupled with a new FTD, could trigger a technical buy signal.


Color Codes Explained :
Y - Better candidates highlighted by our staff of experts.
G - Previously featured in past reports as yellow but may no longer be buyable under the guidelines.
