Major Averages Rose With Less Volume Conviction
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks edged higher on Thursday. The volume totals were reported lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by about a 4-3 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 84 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, down from the prior session total of 101 stocks. New 52-week highs contracted yet still outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 8 of the 12 high-ranked companies currently on the Featured Stocks Page, a list which recently gained several new companies as broader market conditions improved. Disciplined investors know that new buying efforts may be made under the fact-based investment system only in stocks meeting all key criteria.
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite index is consolidating above prior highs, and it climbed 17 points to 4,638. The tech-heavy index is up +11% year-to-date.
The Dow rose 69 points to a new record high of 17,554. The S&P 500 also closed at a fresh all-time high as it gained 7 points to 2,031.
The major averages advanced but gains were limited ahead of tomorrow’s all-important non-farm payrolls report. The economy is projected to add 235,000 jobs in October while the unemployment rate remains at a six-year low of 5.9%. Today’s economic data was encouraging as jobless claims fell more than anticipated to a three-week of 278,000.
Investors were also focused on monetary policy as the European Central Bank left interests rates unchanged. In addition, President Mario Draghi said officials are ready to boost stimulus measures if needed and signaled the bank may cut growth forecasts next month as growth weakens.
Seven of the 10 sectors in the S&P 500 finished in positive territory. Energy and consumer stocks helped lift the market. EOG Resources (EOG +2.99%) rose. Whole Foods Market (WFM +12.15%) rallied after posting a quarterly profit above analyst estimates. Utilities and tech were among the worst performing groups. Duke Energy (DUK -2.79%). Shares of Qualcomm (QCOM -8.58%) fell after the chipmaker reported disappointing earnings and warned that next year's profit may be hurt by an antitrust investigation in China.
Treasuries declined. The 10-year note lost 10/32 to yield 2.38%.
Large gains on 10/21/14 backed by higher volume totals while leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) expanded met the definition of a "follow-through day" confirming a new uptrend for the market (M criteria). The S&P 500 Index, Nasdaq Composite Index, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average have collectively rebounded above their respective 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines, technically putting the market in a healthier stance.
The CANSLIM.net Featured Stocks Page shows the most action-worthy candidates and their latest notes and a Headline Link directs members to the latest detailed analysis with data-packed graphs annotated by a Certified expert along with links to additional resources.

New Highs Following Deep "V" Shaped Pullback - Not a Sound Base
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Actavis plc (ACT +$2.47 or +1.00% to $250.38) is perched at its 52-week high after today's 2nd consecutive volume-driven gain. It did not form a sound base pattern, but there was a deep "V" shaped pullback and recovery, and now it is extended from its prior base. Recent lows near $208 define initial support to watch below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($236.59) on pullbacks.
Its current Accumulation/Distribution Rating is C+, up from a D- when last shown in this FSU section on 10/21/14 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Quiet Gains Help Generic Drug Firm Rise Above 50-Day Average". It found prompt support at its 200 DMA line after a damaging streak of 5 consecutive losses marked by volume triggered technical sell signals.
ACT was first highlighted in yellow in the 6/20/14 mid-day report (read here) with a pivot point based on its 2/26/14 high plus 10 cents. The Medical - Generic Drugs industry group currently has a 98 Group Relative Strength Rating, up from a 66 when shown on 8/28/14. Leadership from other issues in the group is also a reassuring sign concerning the L criteria. It reported earnings +53% on +83% sales revenues for the Sep '14 quarter, and its strong record satisfies the C criteria. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has also been strong. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares has been on the rise, up from 1,219 in Sep '13 to 1,688 in Sep '14, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.

G - Encountering resistance at its 50 DMA line following a violation on 3 times average volume on 10/29/14 that raised concerns and triggered a technical sell signal. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. The company reported earnings +59% on +59% sales for the Sep '14 quarter but warned of rising costs. Historic studies show that investors have a far better chance of success when buying as a stock is breaking out, not buying on pullbacks.

Finished strong after highlighted in yellow in the 10/31/14 mid-day report (read here) clinching a convincing technical buy signal.
