Major Averages Post Gains On Higher Volume As Leadership Expands

The major averages ended higher but volume was lighter as US stocks rose, extending a worldwide rally. What is helping seems to be speculation that third-quarter earnings will top estimates, and growing conviction that the global economy is improving. It was very good to see volume totals exceed Monday's levels as the major averages continued bouncing off support at their respective 50-day moving average (DMA) lines. Advancers trumped decliners by almost a 4-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and by approximately a 3-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 48 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made a new 52-week high and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, more than double the 22 issues that appeared on the prior session. New 52-week highs still outnumbered new 52-week lows on both exchanges.

Overnight the US dollar got smacked after the Australian Central Bank surprised the world and raised their overnight cash rate target to 3.25% from a 49-year low of 3%. The Australian Central Bank was the first major central bank to raise rates after the coordinated global stimulus package. The Australian Central bank said that they are raising rates to help offset the possibility of inflation as the economic recovery continues. Another negative data point for the greenback was that several world governments reportedly met to discuss the notion of replacing the dollar as the primary means to trade crude oil. The group mulled a notion to use a basket of currencies to replace the dollar. Both events put significant pressure on the dollar which in turn sent stocks and a slew of commodities higher.

On the political front, President Barack Obama considered a mix of spending programs and tax cuts that would serve as an additional economic stimulus package in response to last month's disappointing jobs report. Gold surged to a fresh all-time high on the news of a new stimulus package and the falling greenback. A slew of gold-related stocks surged on the news, but unfortunately many lack the strong fundamentals needed to meet the guidelines of this proven fact-based investment system. Looking forward, this rally remains intact as long as the major averages continue trading above support.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index continued bouncing off support.




Gold & Silver Index Posts Standout Gain

Tuesday marked a second consecutive unanimously positive session for the indices that are studied daily in this IGW section.  Commodity-linked areas were among the day's leaders as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +6.12%) blasted higher, and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +2.29%) and Oil Services Index ($OSX +2.35%) also tallied greater then +2% gains. The Retail Index ($RLX +1.96%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.88%) were positive influences on the major averages as well, yet the Bank Index ($BKX +0.58%) and the Healthcare Index ($HMO +0.31%) ended with only modest gains.  Tech sector strength helped the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite post bigger gains than its peers as the Networking Index ($NWX +1.15%), Biotechnology Index ($BTK +1.50%), Internet Index ($IIX +1.88%), and Semiconductor Index ($SOX +2.07%) rallied.

Near Best Close Ever For Clothing Retailer

Aeropostale Inc. (ARO +$1.58 or +3.59% to $44.05) posted a light volume gain and equaled the second highest close ever for this high-ranked leader in the Retail - Clothing/shoe group. It has recently been consolidating above support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line, with the next support to watch at prior highs in the $38 area. It has not encountered any very heavy distributional action since it rallied above its 2008 highs, however it also hasn't posted and gains backed by heavy volume since early-September.  It is extended from a sound base and not buyable under the investment system guidelines now.  Disciplined investors avoid chasing stocks more than 5% above their pivot point, as doing so increases the chances that a normal pullback will prompt them to sell the stock -as investors should always limit losses by selling any stock that falls 7% from their buy price.

ARO has advanced slowly, steadily, and quietly since it was featured in yellow with new pivot point and max buy levels noted in the 8/21/09 Mid-Day BreakOuts Report (read here). It has a great annual earnings history (the A criteria), and the 2 latest quarterly comparisons showed +81% and +84% earnings increases, well above the investment system's +25% guideline. The number of top-rated funds owning an interest in its shares rose from 209 in Dec '08 to 241 in Jun '09, which is good news concerning the I criteria.


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.

G - Small gain today on very light volume. On 10/02/09 it traded down near 4-week lows and then positively reversed and closed near the session high amid widespread market weakness. As previously noted, "Recent lows may be considered an initial support level. Prior chart highs and its 50 DMA line, coinciding in the $20 area, define an important technical support level to watch on pullbacks."

Y - Perched today at all-time highs near its max buy level after a 3rd consecutive gain with above average volume helped reconfirm its recent breakout. It finished last week rallying after a dose of distributional pressure followed its 9/29/09 breakout from a 6-week base. The Finance - Consumer/Commercial Loans firm has maintained a great track record of annual and quarterly sales revenues and earnings increases. It was featured on 9/29/09 in yellow in the mid-day report (read here).

It has formed a cup-with-high-handle pattern, and its color code was changed to yellow with new pivot point and max buy levels noted. Disciplined investors will watch for volume-driven gains to trigger a new technical buy signal before making any initial buys or add-on purchases.

G- Gain today on lighter volume, closing back above its 50 DMA line. A loss 10/05/09 with above average volume indicated distributional pressure as it closed just under its 50 DMA line and violated an upward trendline. As previously noted, "Deterioration below those levels would raise more serious concerns and trigger technical sell signals." Color code was changed to green based on promptly negating its latest breakout and then trading more than -7% below its pivot point. This may also be considered a riskier late-stage base.

The pullback raised some concerns as it violated an upward trendline connecting its July-September chart lows, an initial support level.

Y - Today was its 5th consecutive loss, while recently noted "churning" action and lack of meaningful price progress (chart-wise) is a sign of distributional pressure. Still perched above its 50 DMA line and stubbornly holding its ground, it traded up as high as $16.50 on two sessions last week but encountered stubborn resistance after a considerable 9/29/09 gain for a new 52-week high and new high close with volume 11 times its daily average volume. It formed an orderly flat base for at least 5-weeks, and it was featured in yellow in the 9/28/09 mid-day report (read here). Quarterly earnings have been above the +25% guideline and its annual earnings history has been great, satisfying the C & A criteria. However, sales revenues growth has decelerated.
