New Highs Increase Despite Mild Distributional Pressure

The major averages negatively reversed on Thursday after encountering resistance near their prior chart highs. Volume, an important indicator of institutional sponsorship, was higher than Wednesday's session which marked a distribution day for the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers and decliners were evenly matched on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, but the NYSE had a slightly positive bias while the Nasdaq had a slightly negative bias.  New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange.  There were 21 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made a new 52-week high and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, higher than the 14 issues that appeared on the prior session.  Despite the distributional action in the major indices, the expansion in the number of high-ranked leaders reaching new highs was a nice reassurance.

Several high profile technology stocks got smacked after Akamai Technologies Inc. (AKAM -12.90%), Nvidia (NVDA -9.87%), and Symantec Corp. (SYMC -11.18%) released weak Q2 results. Financial shares fared reasonably well for the most part after New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo began a fraud probe into the life insurance industry and subpoenaed several well-known firms.

Elsewhere, the Labor Department said jobless claims fell last week and confidence improved about Europe's economy. Stocks turned tail after James Bullard, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, said the central bank should resume purchases of Treasury securities if the economy slows and deflation sets in. On Friday, the US government is slated to release Q2 GDP figures which will give investors the latest read on the economy.

The major averages are still above their respective 2-month downward trendlines which is a healthy sign. However, the Nasdaq Composite, NYSE Composite, and the benchmark S&P 500 indexes collectively closed below their respective 200-day moving average (DMA) lines which is not ideal. In order for a new leg higher to begin, the major averages will have to ratchet above their longer term averages and close above their recent chart highs which currently serve as the next levels of resistance to watch.  The window remains open for for high-ranked stocks to be accumulated when they trigger fresh technical buy signals. Trade accordingly.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index fell on higher volume and closed below its 200 DMA line.




Tech Sector Weakness Caused Nasdaq Composite To Lag

The tech sector clearly lagged on Thursday as the Networking Index ($NWX -3.01%), Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.93%), Internet Index ($IIX -1.06%), and Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.81%) ended unanimously lower on Thursday.  The Retail Index ($RLX -0.68%) also ended modestly lower.  Meanwhile the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.49%) posted a decent gain while the Bank Index ($BKX +0.02%) held its ground.  Generally defensive groups edged higher as the Healthcare Index ($HMO +0.44%) and Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.46%) posted small gains and strength in the energy group gave the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.52%) and Oil Services Index ($OSX +1.40%) a boost.

Matches Key Criteria While Firm GM Plans To Buy Does Not

Credit Acceptance Corp (CACC -$0.47 or -0.88% to $52.65) has steadily risen since finding support above the $38 area cited as a support level to watch when it was last shown in this FSU section on 3/02/10 under the headline, "Gain Above 50 DMA Line Helps, But More Time And Constructive Action Needed."  It is consolidating near all-time highs after quietly reaching new high territory this week. It was featured in the mid-day report today (read here) in yellow with a new pivot point cited is based on its 2/01/10 high plus ten cents. A powerful breakout should occur before new buying efforts would be justifiable under the investment system's strict technical buying discipline. Its small supply (S criteria) of only 5.89 million shares in the public float could contribute to greater volatility in the event of any new institutional posturing. 

Its strong quarterly and annual earnings track record satisfies the C and A criteria of the investment system. It is a good match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines, as opposed to its peer in the Finance - Consumer Loans group, Americredit Corp (ACF), which recently bankrupted GM bid to acquire the day after President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

Based on weak action CACC was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 3/16/10. An earlier FSU section appearance on 2/09/10 included an annotated graph under the headline "Damaging Losses Prompted Profit Taking". It produced gains of as much as +61.2% since it was first featured in yellow at $33.48 in the 9/29/09 mid-day report (read here).

Y - Gapped up today after reporting strong earnings and raising guidance, repairing the recent 50 DMA line violation, and it was featured in the mid-day report (read here). No overhead supply remains to act as resistance after hitting a new 52-week high with a strong close above the pivot point cited (based on its 5/17/10 high plus ten cents) backed by +72% above average volume triggering a buy signal. It has a good annual earnings (A criteria) history, and the latest quarter ended June 30, 2010 showed more impressive sales and earnings acceleration after prior earnings comparisons showed improvement above the guidelines of the fact-based investment system. Its small supply (S criteria) of only 12.3 million shares outstanding could contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

G - Ended lower today after its latest strong earnings news. It faces some near-term resistance due to overhead supply after trading higher in the past month or more. A prompt rebound back above its 50 DMA would be an encouraging sign, but after its damaging gap down on 7/27/10, the recent action looks distributional.

Y - Down today on lighter volume while consolidating under its "max buy" level, its color code is changed to yellow again. Recent action has been bullish, as indicated by its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.5, which is an unbiased indication of recent accumulation. Technically, the actual gains that lifted it above the pivot point cited lacked the volume conviction required after it was featured in the 7/22/10 mid-day report (read here).
