Dow Industrials and S&P 500 at All-Time Highs After 4th Week of Gains

A retreat among tech companies pushed the Nasdaq Composite Index into negative territory for the week with a loss of nearly -0.4%. However, the Dow held onto a weekly advance of +0.5% and the S&P 500 increased +0.7% marking their fourth consecutive week of positive returns. Volume totals were reported higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers and decliners were evenly mixed on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 89 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from the prior session total of 85 stocks. The list of stocks hitting new 52-week highs contracted but still easily outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange.  There were gains for 6 of the 12 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

 

Weak earnings results from the Technology sector caused stocks to take a breather. Google Inc (GOOG -1.55%) and Microsoft Corp (MSFT -11.40%fell after both tech giants delivered disappointing second-quarter profit tallies. Financials also lagged behind as bank stocks snapped a two-day rally. JP Morgan Chase & Co (JPM -0.37%) and Citigroup Inc (C -0.65%) lost ground. Gains in Health Care helped limit losses thanks to Johnson & Johnson's (JNJ +2.28%) advance. Industrials also finished higher as an encouraging earnings report from General Electric Co (GE +4.61%).

In fixed-income, Treasuries increased and posted back-to-back weekly gains. The 10-year note was up 13/32 to yield 2.48% and the 30-year bond gained over a full point to yield 3.56%.

The market (M criteria) has flashed substantial strength and leadership.  Now in a confirmed rally, odds are considered favorable for investors' success with new buying efforts.  Investors should 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.  Study the companies on the CANSLIM.net Featured Stocks Page - a page showing the most action-worthy candidates' latest notes and links to additional resources including detailed analysis with data-packed graphs which are annotated by a Certified expert.  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 benchmark S&P 500 Index is perched at an all-time high after posting 11 gains in the span of 12 sessions, and it is up +18.65% year-to-date.

Consolidating Above Prior Highs Following Latest Breakout

Grand Canyon Education's (LOPE -$0.54 or -1.53% to $34.76) color code was changed yellow while pulling back below its "max buy" level. It has been consolidating after a streak of volume-driven gains last week triggered a new technical buy signal and it got extended from the latest base. Prior highs in the $34 area define initial support above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line (now $32.63). Disciplined investors do not chase stocks more than +5% above their prior high or pivot point, and they always limit losses by selling if the stock falls more than -7% from their purchase price.

The Commercial Services - Schools group has shown leadership (L criteria) and currently has an A Rating. It powered above the new pivot point cited based on its 5/22/13 high plus 10 cents when it was last shown in this FSU section on 7/02/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Formed New Base While Perched Near All-Time Highs". As it blasted into all-time high territory back in May, rallying above an earlier pivot point and also above its April 2010 high (N criteria), it was noted - "Showing bullish technical action which may mark the beginning of a meaningful and sustained advance in price."    

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 200 in Mar '12 to 288 in Jun '13, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 2.3 is an unbiased indication that its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It most recently reported earnings +34% on +21% sales revenues for the Mar '13 quarter, and earnings increases were above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) the past 3 quarterly comparisons. Its Relative Strength Rating (92) remains above the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates under the fact-based investment system.


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.
