Dow Finishes 4th Consecutive Week Higher
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
For the week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up +1.4%, scoring a fourth straight winning week. The S&P 500 Index gained +1.1%, but the Nasdaq Composite Index was down -1.1% for the week. Friday the trading volume total reported on the NYSE was higher while volume was slightly lower on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session. Advancing issues beat decliners by more than 6-1 on the NYSE and by 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 30 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up sharply from the prior session total of 6 stocks. There were gains for 7 of the 9 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.
Wall Street ended the week with a strong rally, thanks to a healthy round of corporate earnings and high hopes for a debt agreement in Europe within the next week. Two Federal Reserve officials also said the Fed may consider another round of asset purchases to boost economic growth. Financial stocks, including Morgan Stanley (MS +2.47%), advanced following gains in European lenders.
Impressive profit reports ranged from restaurant chains to a key audio equipment maker, Harmon International Industries (HAR +20.55%). McDonald's Corp (MCD +3.72%) added 23 points to the Dow Jones Industrials while hitting an all-time high. Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc (CMG +8.31%) rose after raising prices, selling more burritos and opening new stores. Ford Motor Co (F +4.79%) rose after Standard & Poor's upgraded its credit rating on the automaker.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied above its prior high to it best level since 8/04/11 while approaching its 200-day moving average (DMA) line. Subsequent gains above that important long-term average would be a meaningful technical improvement in the market's health.

Favorable Characteristics Following Years of Good Earnings Growth
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Often, when a leading stock is setting up to breakout of a solid base it is highlighted in CANSLIM.net's Mid-Day Breakouts Report. The most relevant factors are noted in the report which allows prudent CANSLIM oriented investors to place the issue in their watch list. After doing any necessary backup research, the investor is prepared to act if and when the stock triggers a technical buy signal (breaks above its pivot point on more than +50% average turnover). In the event the stock fails to trigger a technical buy signal and its price declines then it will simply be removed from the watch list.
Alliance Data Systems Corporation (ADS +$3.25 or +3.43% to $97.99) was featured in yellow with a pivot point based on its 9/20/11 high plus 10 cents in the mid-day report earlier today. It was on the rise, rallying within close range of its all-time high, and finished near the session high with a second consecutive volume-driven gain. It found support at its 200-day moving average (DMA) line again during the latest consolidation. Subsequent volume-driven gains above its pivot point may trigger a technical buy signal. As always, protect your capital buy selling if any stock falls 7-8% your purchase price.
Its last appearance in this FSU section with an annotated graph was way back on 1/23/07 with an annotated graph under the headline, "High Ranked Leader Perched Near Highs". It has maintained a good annual earnings (A criteria) history, even through challenging economic times in recent years which created flaws in the A criteria for many growth stocks. Its past 3 quarterly comparisons (Mar, Jun, and Sep '11) showed earnings per share increases greater than the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Current leadership from other companies in the Finance - Credit Card/Payment Processing group (L criteria) is a favorable characteristic. Ownership by top-rated funds also rose from 731 in Mar '11 to 807 in Sep '11, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.

G - Off its earlier high following a small gap today after reporting earnings +48% on +44% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Hovering in a tight range near its all-time high, this high-ranked Medical - Biomed/Biotech group leader is extended from its prior base. Support to watch includes prior resistance in the $59-60 area and its upwardly tilted 50 DMA line.
