Major Averages Posted Minor Gains on Fed's Accommodative Policy Stance
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major averages managed to gain minor ground on Wednesday. Volume totals were mixed, higher than the prior session volume total on the NYSE and lower on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by almost a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 7-5 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 66 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, down slightly from the prior session total of 68 stocks. The list of stocks hitting new 52-week highs easily outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange, and the new lows total on Nasdaq exchange fell into the single digits. There were gains for 8 of the 12 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.
The major averages traded in a tight range as investors analyzed Fed Chairman Bernanke's testimony to Congress. His semiannual report revealed the central bank's timetable for tapering its stimulus measures is not on a preset course and the Fed's policy will remain accommodative as the economy recovers. The latest economic data was on the back burner. Housing starts unexpectedly declined by -9.9% in June to nearly a one-year low and building permits also failed to meet expectations as they fell by -7.5%.
Overall, nine of the 10 sectors on the S&P finished in positive territory. Materials paced the advance as DuPont (DD +5.28%) rallied. Financials also helped lift the market as Bank of America Corp's (BAC +2.80%) encouraging profit tally led the group higher. Utilities finished lower, dragged down by PG&E Corp's (PCG -2.65%) drop. CSX Corp (CSX +1.87%) rose following its earnings report. Technology stocks lagged behind even after Yahoo! Inc (YHOO +10.34%) advanced, as it was overshadowed by index heavyweight Microsoft's Corp (MSFT -1.46%) retreat. The sector will also garner attention with earnings results out after the close from Intel (INTC -0.41%) and International Business Machines Corp (IBM +0.36%).
In fixed-income, Treasury prices advanced. The 10-year note was up 12/32 to yield 2.49% and the 30-year bond gained 7/32 to yield 3.57%.
The market (M criteria) has flashed substantial strength and leadership on Thursday's session, making a favorable shift. Now in a confirmed rally, odds are considered favorable for investors' success with new buying efforts. Investors who have preserved their cash and confidence will be disciplined and selective while looking to be proactive and focused exclusively on the individual leaders best matching the winning models of the fact-based investment system.

Technical Breakout Backed By +65% Above Average
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Ambarella Corporation (AMBA +$1.59 or +9.01% to $19.24) rallied above its pivot point with +65% above average volume breaking out from a short "square box" base pattern and triggering a new (or add-on) technial buy signal. It consolidated in a healthy fashion above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line while volume totals cooled in recent weeks. Its was last shown in this FSU section on 6/27/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Consolidating Above 50-Day Moving Average Line". Chart-readers recognize that short-term average as an important support level to watch where a violation would trigger a worrisome technical sell signal. It stayed above the 50 DMA line since blasting higher in March.
AMBA closed today's session +27.9% from the $15.04 it was when first shown in this FSU section under the headline, "Volume-Driven Gain From Cup-With-High-Handle to New 52-Week High - Tuesday, March 26, 2013 ". Keep in mind that 3 out of 4 stocks tend to move in the direction of the major averages (M criteria), yet during a confirmed rally many individual leaders generate much greater percentage gains than the major averages and index-linked ETFs. Contrasting this stock's +27.9% gain in under 5 months time, versus the S&P 500 Index's +17.8% year-to-date gain, we see a vivid example of the potential advantages investors may gain when carefully selecting individual stocks using the fact-based investment system.
It recently reported strong earnings and revenues increases for the April '13 quarter, continuing its streak of strong quarterly earnings comparisons versus the year ago periods - satisfying the C criteria with increases above the +25% minimum guideline. The high-ranked Electronics - Semiconductor firm saw the number of top-rated funds owning its shares rise from 51 in Dec '12 to 75 in Mar '13, a reassuring indication 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. Its small supply (S criteria) of only 13.9 million shares in the public float can contribute to great price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
