Volume Was Reported Lighter Behind Indices' Big Gains

Stocks surged around the world after stronger-than-expected manufacturing surveys in Europe and the US helped allay concern that the global recovery is in jeopardy. Volume totals were reportedly lower on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, which was not ideal. Normally one would like to see volume expand as the market advances and see volume contract when the market declines. Advancers trumped decliners on the NYSE by a 5-to-1 ratio and by almost a 3-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq exchange. New 52-week highs easily outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange.  There were 57 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made a new 52-week high and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, much higher than the 19 issues that appeared on the prior session.

The Institute for Supply Management’s (ISM) manufacturing index slid to 55.5 in July from 56.2 a month earlier but topped estimates (54.5) and was above the critical boom/bust level of 50. Elsewhere, the Commerce Department said US construction spending unexpectedly grew +0.1% in June which also topped estimates (a decline of -0.5%). It was also encouraging to see the euro rally to a three month high against the greenback which helped lift a slew of dollar denominated assets (mainly, stocks and commodities).

At this point, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and the NYSE Composite indexes have all traded above resistance at their long term 200-day moving average (DMA) lines and recent chart highs. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite and small-cap Russell 2000 index remain slightly below their recent chart highs. However, the fact that all of the major averages are trading above their respective 2-month downward trendlines bodes well for this five week rally. In order for a new leg higher to begin, all the major averages must close and remain above their respective resistance levels. Remember that the window remains open for for high-ranked stocks to be accumulated when they trigger fresh technical buy signals. Trade accordingly.

PICTURED: The NYSE Composite Index rallied above its 200 DMA line and above its June high.




Energy Group Rallies On Crude Gains

Energy-related shares were standouts on Monday as crude oil in NY traded above $81 for the first time since May and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +3.61%) and Oil Services Index ($OSX +4.49%) rallied for big gains. Financial groups had a positive bias as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +2.37%) and Bank Index ($BKX +3.15%) rallied for solid gains, underpinning the indices' ongoing rally. The Healthcare Index ($HMO +2.92%) also rose, and the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +2.20%) led the tech sector higher while the Networking Index ($NWX +1.53%), Semiconductor Index ($SOX +1.76%), and Internet Index ($IIX +1.39%) ended unanimously higher. The Retail Index ($RLX +2.11%) made progress but remains trading below its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines.  Meanwhile, the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.28%) was a relative laggard with its small gain for the day.

PICTURED: The Oil Services Index ($OSX +4.49%) rallied above its June high with a big gain today.

Hovering At New Highs Ahead Of Earnings News

Credit Acceptance Corp (CACC -$0.12 or -0.21% to $55.86) held its ground today perched at all-time highs after its 7/30/10 gain with more than twice average volume helped it trade above its pivot point and trigger a technical buy signal. Keep in mind that volume and volatility often increase near earnings news and the high-ranked Finance - Consumer/Commercial Loans firm is due to report earnings on Tuesday, August 3rd after the close. New buying efforts may be justifiable under the investment system's strict technical buying discipline as long is not extended more than +5% above its prior chart high or pivot point. 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. Disciplined investors remember to always limit losses if a stock falls -7-8% from their buy point.

It has steadily risen since subsequently finding support above the $38 area cited as a support level to watch, and CACC was featured in the 7/29/10 mid-day report (read here) after quietly reaching new high territory. The pivot point cited was based on its 2/01/10 high plus ten cents. It maintained a great track record of annual and quarterly sales revenues and earnings increases satisfying the C and A criteria of the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines. That cannot be said for its peer in the same industry group, Americredit Corp (ACF), which recently bankrupted GM made a bid to acquire the day immediately after President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. 

Credit Acceptance Corp 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). The FSU section appearance on 2/09/10 included an annotated graph under the headline "Damaging Losses Prompted Profit Taking" and it was later dropped from the Featured Stocks list.

Y - After gapping up and reaching a new 52-week high it has reversed into the red, which is considered distributional action. This Brazil-based beverage firm is holding its ground while churning a lot of volume today. It found support near its 50 DMA line but did not trigger convincing technical breakout since it was featured in the 6/29/10 mid-day report.

Volume totals had been light while consolidating above prior highs in the $35-36 area after its 7/23/10 gain with above average volume triggered a technical buy signal and it was featured in yellow in the 7/27/10 mid-day report (read here). It will report earnings after the close on Monday, August 9th, and Street estimates calling for lower FY '10 earnings have been noted as a concern.
