Gains On Lighter Volume Reveal Lackluster Buying Demand

The major averages rallied on Wednesday, sending the benchmark S&P 500 Index to a fresh 2009 high on positive economic and political data. However, volume, a critical component of institutional demand, was reported lower on both major exchanges. That signaled that large institutions were not aggressively buying stocks. Advancers led decliners by about a 3-to-2 ratio on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 47 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List making a new 52-week high and appearing on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, higher than the 36 issues that appeared on the prior session. In terms of new leadership, it was encouraging to see new 52-week highs outnumber new 52-week lows on the NYSE and Nasdaq exchange.

Overnight, China reported that its industrial production surged thanks in part to strong demand. This bodes well for the global economic recovery and helps allay concern that the 8-month rally in global equities is exaggerated. Elsewhere, the Fed signaled they do not plan on raising rates any time soon. This also removed a ton of pressure on those that subscribe to the notion that the stock market's 8-month advance was due to a massive government induced liquidity driven rally. The underlying notion is that banks are able to borrow money near record lows and then use that money however they may see fit. Most financial institutions have earned tremendous profits in recent quarters thanks in part to the relative ease of borrowing money. In general, people don't like to hold cash (especially when rates are near zero), instead they prefer to invest it. That basically summarizes the robust move we have seen in global capital markets in recent months. 

The S&P 500 Index, which skidded -38% in 2008, has rebounded +62% from a 12-year low in March. So far, approximately eighty percent of S&P 500 companies have released their Q3 results and the market's reaction of late has been muted at best. At the beginning of earnings season, the market was steady, then sold off, then bounced back over the past week and a half as buyers showed up and bought shares. The average company in the S&P 500 that has reported their Q3 results have topped estimates according to the latest data provided by Bloomberg.com. The government reported that Q3 GDP rose last month which in part helped companies beat estimates.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index hit a new 2009 high before pulling back and closing below the 1,100 mark.




Financial And Tech Indexes Among Groups With Encouraging Gains

Financial and tech sector gains were a source of encouraging strength that helped underpin the major averages' gains on Wednesday.  The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.10%) and Bank Index ($BKX +1.12%) tallied small gains.  The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +1.36%) and Networking Index ($NWX +1.72%) outpaced the Internet Index ($IIX +0.62%) and Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.40%).  The Healthcare Index ($HMO +0.82%) and Oil Services Index ($OSX +1.03%) also traded with a positive bias.  Meanwhile, the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.35%) and Retail Index ($RLX -0.32%) closed with slight losses, making them laggards on the mostly positive session.

PICTURED: The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.57%) has posted 8 consecutive gains, rallying from below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line to new 2009 highs.

Choppy Action Has Not Allowed Sound Base To Form

Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR +$2.77 or +3.79% to $75.91) posted a third consecutive gain today, rising with above average volume for its third highest close ever. That leaves almost no overhead supply remaining to act as resistance, however its choppy action in recent weeks has not allowed for a sound new base to form. It found support near its 50-day moving average line after it negated its recent breakout from a cup-with-high-handle pattern and slumped below its July highs, triggering technical sell signals.

Disciplined investors avoid buying stocks with flawed base patterns, and they always limit losses at any time a stock falls more than 7-8% from their buy price. If any add-on purchases were made after GMCR's later stage breakouts, those positions might have been sold to effectively limit risk, meanwhile, shares of the stock bought at earlier levels might still be justifiable to hold. Any deterioration under recent chart lows would raise concerns, and subsequent losses under its 50 DMA line would trigger technical sell signals as more worrisome signs of weakness.

Do not be confused by the 3-for-2 split that occurred in the interim, as GMCR has traded up as much as +204% since appearing with an annotated graph under the headline "It May Soon Be Time To Go Green" when featured in the January 2009 CANSLIM.net News (read here).

G - Holding its ground this week near 2009 highs. Found support and rallied up from its 50 DMA line last week after noted technical deterioration raised some concerns. Recent chart lows in the $56 area are important support now, and any violation would raise more serious concerns and trigger more worrisome technical sell signals.
