Breadth Positive While Volume Remains Below Average Behind Gains

The major averages rallied on Tuesday as the latest round of earnings topped estimates and a flurry of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) were announced. Volume totals on were reported higher on both major exchanges versus the prior session, which was a sign that institutional investors were buying shares. Advancers trumped decliners by over a 3-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and Nasdaq exchange as the major averages closed in the middle of their daily range. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE but trailed new lows on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 25 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List made a new 52-week high and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from the 11 issues that appeared on the prior session.

The market opened higher after a flurry of mergers and acquisition news was announced. The "big" news came when an Australian firm made an unsolicited takeover bid of $39 billion for Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc. (POT +27.66%). Potash Corp., the world’s largest fertilizer producer, rejected the unsolicited bid from BHP Billiton Ltd. (BHP -2.40%) as too low, but the news helped lift other fertilizer firms' shares. So far, global M&A business has topped $1.22 trillion in 2010 which is +17% higher than the same time last year, according to Bloomberg. The increase in M&A business bodes well for the ongoing economic recovery.

Most European indexes rose after German investor confidence in fell more than forecast to a 16-month low. The ZEW Center for European Economic Research released a report which is designed to project six months ahead fell to to 14 in August from 21.2 in the prior month. This was much lower than the Street's forecast of 20. The market was able to shrug off the negative report when the US dollar fell (euro rallied) and the M&A news was released.

The technical action in the major averages is not ideal. Currently, resistance for the Dow Jones Industrial Average is its 200 DMA line, while the Nasdaq composite faces resistance at its 50 DMA line.  The action in leading stocks remains questionable, which is a somewhat disconcerting sign. Tuesday's action does not change our cautious outlook. Put simply, we can expect this sideways/choppy action to continue until the market breaks out above resistance or below support (recent chart lows). The first scenario will have bullish ramifications while the second will be clearly bearish. Trade accordingly.

Are You Capitalizing On The Current Rally?
Our skilled team of portfolio managers knows how to follow the rules of this fact-based investment system. We do not follow opinion or the "conviction list" of some large Wall Street institution which would have us fully invested even during horrific bear markets. Instead, we remain fluid and only buy the best stocks when they are triggering proper technical buy signals.

PICTURED: The benchmark S&P 500 Index managed to close above its 50 DMA line but still faces resistance near its 200 DMA line (1,116) and then its prior chart highs near 1,131.




Broker/Dealer Index Rallies At 50 DMA Line After 5 Straight Losses

The rising Retail Index ($RLX +1.77%and a gain from the influential Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.85%) helped underpin a widespread rally on Tuesday.  The tech sector produced solid gains across the board as the Networking Index ($NWX +1.68%), Biotechnology Index ($BTK +1.16%), Internet Index ($IIX +1.32%), and Semiconductor Index ($SOX +1.34%) ended unanimously higher.  Commodity-linked groups also traded up as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +1.37%), Oil Services Index ($OSX +2.12%), and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.97%) rose.  Lagging other gainers, the Bank Index ($BKX +0.37%) and Healthcare Index ($HMO +0.25%) edged higher.

Former Favorite Percolates to New High Again

Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR +$1.03 or +3.19% to $33.31) hit a new 52-week high today with a gain backed by +67% above average volume while rising from a 19-week cup shaped pattern without forming a handle. It is now clear of resistance due to overhead supply, even though its latest base did not include the "shakeout" period. It could also stall or form a high handle, meanwhile disciplined investors might watch for more reassuring price/volume action in the near-term.  The weekly datagraph below illustrates its history of strong sales revenues and earnings increases. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose to 124 in Jun '10 from 111 in Mar '10, helping satisfy the I criteria of the fact-based investment system.

GMCR was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 4/28/10 and subsequently slumped below its 200-day moving average line before rebounding. Do not be confused when looking back at past reports as its share price was impacted by a 3:1 stock split effective on 5/18/10. It rallied more than 5-fold from its November '08 low. It traded up as much as +282% after appearing with an annotated graph under the headline "It May Soon Be Time To Go Green" when featured in the January 2009 CANSLIM.net News (read here).
