Major Averages Edge Higher Again

The major indices ended slightly higher on Wednesday. The volume totals were reported higher on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session's totals, again hinting at slightly better buying demand returning from the institutional crowd. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by nearly a 3-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. The total number of new 52-week highs solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 61 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from the prior session total of 53 stocks. There were gains for 11 of the 22 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

 

The major averages swung between gains and losses for most of the day as investors weighed better-than-expected housing data against corporate earnings results. Homebuilders including PulteGroup Inc (PHM +5.31%) rose after reports showed housing starts unexpectedly increased 15% and at the fastest pace since 2008, and building permits rose 11.6% in September.

The technology sector was a headwind to the market following disappointing earnings by bellwethers.  Intel Corp (INTC -2.51%) fell after the chipmaker lowered its profit margin forecast. International Business Machines Inc (IBM -4.91%) sank after third quarter revenues missed consensus projections. On the M&A front, Cymer (CYMI +49.38%) surged after the company agreed to be acquired ASML Holding NV (ASML -6.55%) for $2.6 billion.

Positive earnings helped lift the financials with The Bank of New York Mellon Corp (BK +5.52%) climbing after posting results above projections. Shares of Bank of America Corp (BAC -0.21%) slipped after its earnings topped analyst estimates on lighter-than-expected revenues. Utilities were the best performing sector with Southern Company (SO +1.42%) rising.

Treasuries fell for a third straight session with the 10-year note down 27/32 to yield 1.81%.

Tuesday's solid gain helped the Nasdaq Composite Index rebound above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the benchmark S&P 500 Index each made a stand above their respective 50 DMA lines during the latest pullback.

In market corrections the M criteria argues against new buying efforts. However, leadership has improved in the market since last week with an increase in the total number of stocks hitting new 52-week highs.  Investors should continue watching individual holdings very carefully through the current earnings season and be prepared to take quick action.  Keep a watchlist of strong acting stocks with all-key criteria in anticipation of the next confirmed uptrend.  See the noteworthy candidates included on the Featured Stocks Page.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index found support above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and prior 2012 highs during the recent consolidation.

Financial, Biotech, and Energy-Related Groups Led Gainers

Solid gains from influential financial shares underpinned the major averages' gains on Wednesday as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +2.46%) and the Bank Index ($BKX +1.55%) rose.  Gains in energy-related shares boosted the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +1.32%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX +1.60%). The Retail Index ($RLX +0.52%) and Networking Index ($NWX +0.57%) posted modest gains, meanwhile the Internet Index ($IIX -0.34%) and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.22%) edged lower.  Defensive groups had a positive bias as the Healthcare Index ($HMO +0.58%) and Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +1.14%) rose. The Biotechnology Index ($BTK +2.13%) was a standout gainer.

Following Mid-Day Report Appearance Action Turned Uglier

Often, when a leading stock is setting up with a solid base it is highlighted in CANSLIM.net's Mid-Day Breakouts Report. The most relevant factors are noted in the report which alerts prudent CANSLIM oriented investors. After doing any necessary backup research, the investor is prepared to act after the stock triggers a technical buy signal (breaks above its pivot point on more than +50% average turnover) but before it gets too extended from a sound base. Disciplined investors know to buy as near as possible to the pivot point and avoid chasing stocks after they have rallied more than +5% above their pivot point. It is crucial to always limit losses whenever any stock heads the wrong direction, and disciplined investors sell if a struggling stock ever falls more than -7% from their purchase price. In the event the stock fails to trigger a technical buy signal no harm is done, and it would simply be dropped from investors' watchlists.

Align Technology Inc (ALGN -$2.86 or -7.47% to $35.41) had built an orderly base above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and above prior highs in the $36 area. However, it slumped under its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and finished weak after it was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 9/13/12 high plus 10 cents in today's earlier mid-day report (read here) while noted - "Disciplined investors may watch for volume-driven gains above its pivot point which are needed to trigger a new technical buy signal. Last noted in the 7/27/12 mid-day report - 'Earnings rose +70% on +21% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 versus the year ago period, marking a 3rd consecutive quarterly earnings increase above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been good following a downturn in FY '08. Patient and disciplined investors may watch for a proper base to form while it continues consolidating.'" 

This high-ranked Medical - Supplies firm traded lower in the after-hours. It reported preliminary earnings after the close for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 versus the year ago period, and volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. It also announced the discontinuation of a distribution relationship with Straumann in Europe and North America in a separate press release. It said a decline in results of operations of the company's Scanner and CAD/CAM Services reporting unit triggered the risk of impairment of goodwill associated with the acquisition of Cadent. As a result, Align is in the process of conducting step one of a goodwill impairment test as prescribed by GAAP. 

The action in this stock again demonstrates an important point we have seen illustrated numerous times before, that there is no advantage in getting in "early" before a stock has triggered a technical buy signal. Disciplined investors know their odds are only considered favorable when a stock is demonstrating proof of fresh institutional buying demand.

It remains below its "max buy" level after bullish action recently confirmed a technical buy signal. Near term support is at its 50 DMA line (now $74.41).
