Major Averages' Best Weekly Gains in Past 2 Years

For the week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose +5.4%, the S&P 500 Index gained +5.6% and the Nasdaq Composite Index was up +6.2%. Fireworks got started early on Wall Street as the market averages capped their best weekly performance in a year with another explosive rally. The major averages rallied further above their 50-day moving average lines on Friday, however the pre-holiday session's volume totals were reported lighter than the prior session on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE, a sign that institutional buying demand was not on the rise.  Advancing issues beat decliners by more than 4-1 on the NYSE and by more than 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange.  New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the Nasdaq exchange and the NYSE. New lows on the NYSE were in the single digits. There were 107 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 74 on the prior session. There were 11 gainers out of the 14 high-ranked leaders currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

 

A report on manufacturing showed a surprising pickup in June. The Institute for Supply Management's national index, combined with Thursday's Midwest report, suggest that factory activity is recovering from the Japan supply disruptions. Crude oil fell below $94 after China reported manufacturing rose at a slower pace.

Dendreon Corp (DNDN +4.97%) rallied after regulators said the company's cancer medicine Provenge should be covered by Medicare. Blackboard Inc (BBBB +1.80%) rose as a private equity firm agreed to buy the educational software company for $1.6 billion.  Darden Restaurants Inc (DRI +6.09%) projected full-year earnings above expectations and raised its dividend.  On the downside, Eastman Kodak Co (EK -14.25%) sank after an unfavorable ruling in a patent fight.

Our July 2011 issue of CANSLIM.net News is due to be released soon with a comprehensive summary of current market conditions!  The Q2 2011 CANSLIM.net Webcast is available "ON DEMAND" now  to UPGRADED MEMBERS ONLY - (CLICK HERE).   

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index rose for a 5th consecutive session with below average volume.  The week's impressive +6.2% sprint leaves the tech-heavy index just -2.5% off its May 2nd high.  The expansion in leadership (new highs) and technical improvement in the major averages has not met the definition of a convincing follow-through day, but regular readers may have noticed that the overall action in sum suggests that the market's rally effort has gathered more upward momentum.

Bank Index Rises Above 50-Day Average

The tech sector had a positive bias as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +2.13%), Biotechnology Index ($BTK +1.12%), Networking Index ($NWX +1.30%), and Internet Index ($IIX +1.71%) finished unanimously higher.  The Bank Index ($BKX +2.03%), Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +2.18%), and the  Retail Index ($RLX +2.04%) had a positive influence on the major averages.  The Healthcare Index ($HMO +2.49%) was also a standout gainer, meanwhile another defensive index, the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.84%), was a clear laggard as it lost ground on Friday's widely positive session.  The Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.60%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +1.08%) posted small gains.  

Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Bank Index's ($BKX +2.03%) 5th consecutive gain led to its first close above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line since early-April. Its strength this week was encouraging, however its worrisome downward trend since February remains intact.

New Base Formation Awaiting Technical Breakout

Opnet Technologies Inc (OPNT -$0.37 or -0.90% to $40.57) is perched near its 52-week high after building an orderly base. Its color code was changed to yellow and a new pivot point cited based on its 52-week high plus ten cents. Disciplined investors resist the urge to get in "early" and would watch for a confirming technical buy signal before taking action. Recent lows near $36 define important near-term chart support.

The stock's last appearance in this FSU section on 6/10/11 included an annotated graph under the headline, "Near 50 Day Average While Enduring Distributional Pressure". Recent quarters showed decent sales revenues growth and earnings above the +25% minimum guideline. Its annual earnings growth rate (A criteria) has been respectable since a previously noted downturn in FY '08. Strength and leadership (L criteria) in the Computer Software - Database group has recently been encouraging. Ownership by top-rated funds rose from 188 in Sep '10 to 228 in Mar '11, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Return On Equity is reported at 12%, which is below the 17% guideline. However, management owns a 36% stake in its shares, keeping the directors motivated to maintain and build shareholder value.


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.
