Indices Held Ground on Quiet Veteran's Day Session
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
On Monday's session the markets finished flat after the biggest weekly retreat since June. The volume totals were reported lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session's totals. Decliners had a narrow lead over advancers on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The total number of stocks hitting new 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 19 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List making new 52-week highs and appearing on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from the prior session total of 12 stocks. There were gains for 8 of the 14 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page, a list that has been shrinking lately while the market environment has deteriorated.

Stocks erased earlier gains as U.S. fiscal cliff fears kept investors cautious. The euro zone debt crisis was also in focus as investors awaited the outcome of a meeting between finance ministers surrounding the next installment of a Greek bailout. Meanwhile, encouraging Chinese data was overlooked as the nation's export growth increased to a five-month high. On the downside, Japan posted the biggest drop in GDP last quarter since being hit by natural disasters in March 2011.

M&A activity garnered attention as Jefferies Group Inc (JEF +14.02%) and Titanium Metals Corp (TIE +42.61%) increased rallied after both companies were separately purchased in stock and cash deals. Overall, nearly all sectors were higher.

Over in fixed-income, U.S. bond markets were closed in observance of Veteran's Day.

Regular readers may note that this commentary first mentioned a "market correction" on October 11th, calling for reduced market exposure repeatedly if investors were not already completely in cash. During market corrections the M criteria argues against new buying efforts and urges investors to take a defensive stance to protect precious capital. That stance can change back to a bullish stance where buying is encouraged when at least one of the three major averages produces a solid follow-through day (FTD). A FTD confirming a new rally requires substantial gains on higher (ideally above average) volume, coupled with healthy leadership and a respectable number of stocks hitting new 52-week highs. Historic studies have shown that a FTD occurring between Days 4-7 of a new rally effort has often signaled the beginning of the most substantial market rallies.

Investors should always limit losses if ever any stock falls more than -7% from their purchase price. Following strict sell rules is precisely how this fact-based investment system prompts investors to reduce exposure and protect cash during market downturns. 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 Dow Jones Industrial Average held its ground on Day 2 of its latest rally attempt. It remains below its 200-day moving average (DMA) line (12,993) and finished -6.2% off its 2012 high. Bargain hunting is never a part of the fact-based approach supported by CANSLIM.net. Until the major averages produce a new confirmed rally with a follow-through day, disciplined investors know that it is most important to be protecting cash

Promptly Negated Recent Breakout
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Vitamin Shoppe Inc's (VSI +$0.03 or +0.05% to $57.76) promptly slumped back to a close in its prior base, completely negating its 11/06/12 breakout. It released better than expected earnings +35% on +14% sales revenues for the Sep '12 quarter. VSI was last shown in this FSU section on 10/15/12 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Quiet Consolidation Has Look of New Base", while consolidating near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. Odds are not favorable without proof of fresh institutional accumulation and also more reassuring signs from the broader market (M criteria). Meanwhile, below its short-term average the recent lows near $53 define the next important chart support.

Additional leadership (L criteria) shown by other stocks in the Retail - Specialty group has been a reassuring sign, however the Group Relative Strength Rating fell to 18 from 94 when the stock was shown in this section on 7/02/12. Fundamentally, it has earned high ranks after showing strong quarterly and annual earnings increases satisfying the C and A criteria. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 288 in Jun '11 to 383 in Sep '12, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Vitamin Shoppe has 29.7 million shares outstanding. That small supply is not a bad thing, but could contribute to greater price volatility. Historic studies have shown that once companies have grown their supply (S criteria) of shares outstanding to hundreds of millions, or even billions of shares outstanding, they are less likely candidates to be "above average" gainers.
