Major Averages Rose With Less Volume Conviction
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major averages finished higher on Monday. The volume totals were reported lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by about a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 97 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 74 stocks. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 10 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 S&P 500 Index tallied its 4th consecutive gain. ending up 6 points at a new all-time high of 2,038.
Stocks pushed higher on Monday's session. The Dow advanced 39 points to a record level of 17,613. The S&P 500 posted 4th consecutive gain, The NASDAQ climbed 19 points to 4,651.
The major averages extended last week’s gains as investors focused on generally positive earnings. Overall, 80% of S&P 500 companies that have reported quarterly results have topped analyst estimates while 60% have beaten sales projections, according to Bloomberg. Shares of Sotheby's (BID +5.1%) and 3D Systems (DDD +5.1%) rose after both companies' results exceeded consensus projections. Dean Foods (DF +13.7%) surged after posting a narrower-than-expected loss and lifted its forward guidance.
Eight of the 10 sectors in the S&P 500 were up on the session. Health care was the best performing group. Shares of AbbVie (ABBV +3.7%) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ +0.6%) were higher as reports surfaced that over $2 billion in Ebola contracts may be awarded soon. Chevron (CVX -0.7%) ended lower as the energy group faced pressure while WTI crude closed sharply lower. .
Treasuries were lower following today’s auction of $26 billion in 3-year notes. The 10-year note was 16/32 lower to yield 2.36%.
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.

New High Close With Gain on Light Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Alexion Pharmaceuticals Inc (ALXN +$1.99 or +1.03% to $195.80) wedged higher for its best-ever close with today's gain on lighter than average volume. No resistance remains due to overhead supply. Prior highs in the $180 area define initial support to watch on pullbacks. It was last shown in this FSU section on 10/23/14 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Finished Strong After Gapping Up Above Prior High", after finishing strong when highlighted in yellow with a pivot point based on its 2/25/14 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). The big gain for a new 52-week high was backed by +106% above average volume and triggered a technical buy signal following a gap up clearing a recent high. Disciplined investors avoid chasing stocks more than +5% above prior highs and always limit losses by selling any stock which falls more than -7% from its purchase price.
The Medical - Biomed/Biotech industry group has demonstrated leadership and earned a 99 for its Group Relative Strength Rating, a reassuring sign concerning the L criteria. It reported earnings +53% on +38% sales revenues for the Sep '14 quarter, continuing its strong earnings history. It found support at its 200 DMA line during its long consolidation since noted in the 3/21/14 mid-day report - "Patient investors may watch for a new base or secondary buy point to possibly develop and be noted in the weeks ahead. Fundamentals remain strong with respect to the quarterly and annual earnings (C and A criteria) history."
ALXN's Relative Strength Rank (93) remains high. It easily satisfies the C and A criteria with a very strong quarterly and annual earnings history which has earned it a highest possible 99 Earnings Per Share rank. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,325 in Dec '13 to 1,430 in Sep '14, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria of the fact-based investment system. ALXN completed a new Public Offering on 5/25/12.
