Major Averages Posted Solid Gains With Less Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Monday's big gains for the major averages were backed by lighter volume totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session's totals, a sign of less enthusiastic institutional buying demand, however options expirations had boosted Friday's reported volume totals. Advancers led decliners by more than 7-1 on the NYSE and by nearly 4-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. The total number of stocks hitting new 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE, but new lows still outnumbered new 52-week highs on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 20 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 8 stocks. There were gains for all 10 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page, a list that has been shrinking lately while the market environment has deteriorated.
Stocks advanced from the opening bell and economic data helped lift equities. October existing home sales unexpectedly rose +2.1% and the housing market index rose more than consensus projections. Some investors were encouraged by positive comments from President Obama regarding the fiscal cliff.
Nine of the 10 sectors on the S&P ended higher, led by gains in tech stocks. Shares of Apple Inc (AAPL +7.21%) led the rally, rebounding after touching a nine-month low last week. Energy stocks also showed strength as crude oil rose $2.24 to $89.16 per barrel as tensions in the Middle East remain heightened. Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM +1.41%) and Chevron Corp (CVX +1.90%) rose. On the earnings front, Lowe's Companies Inc (LOW +6.19%) advanced after the company topped analysts expectations in the quarter.
Turning to fixed income, Treasuries ended lower with the benchmark 10-year note down 5/16 of a point to yield 1.61%.
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 S&P 500 Index's gain marked Day 2 of a new rally attempt and helped it rebound above its 200-day moving average (DMA) line. 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.

Retail, Financial, Tech, and Commodity-Linked Groups Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Retail Index ($RLX +2.47%) tallied a solid gain and the financial group underpinned the major averages rise on Monday as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +2.22%) and the Bank Index ($BKX +2.23%) rebounded from recent damaging losses. The tech sector was strong as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +2.01%), Networking Index ($NWX +1.48%), Internet Index ($IIX +1.59%), and Biotechnology Index ($BTK +1.63%) posted unanimous gains. Defensive groups also rose as the Healthcare Index ($HMO +1.72%) and the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +2.96%) surged, and gains in energy-related shares gave the Oil Services Index ($OSX +3.22%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +2.33%) a boost.

September Quarter Showed Stronger Earnings and Sales Increases
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Comcast Corp Cl A (CMCSA +$0.56 or +1.58% to $36.01) posted a gain today on lighter volume, rallying near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line which may now act as a resistance level. It recently reported earnings +39% on +15% sales revenues for the Sep '12 quarter, above the fact-based investment system's +25% minimum guideline for the C criteria, a reassuring follow-up to the previously noted sub par quarter. It is consolidating only -5.1% off its 52-week high with little resistance remaining due to overhead supply up to the $38 level. It has not formed a sound base pattern. Additionally, the M criteria argues that 3 out of 4 stocks tend to go in the same direction as the major averages. Disciplined investors would have the patience to watch for a new confirmed rally and wait for an ideal new base and fresh breakout before considering any new buying efforts.
It has earned high ranks. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong and leadership from other firms in the Telecom Services - Cable/Satellite industry group is a reassuring sign concerning the L criteria. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,916 in Jun '11 to 2,199 in Sep '12, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its huge supply of 2.097 billion shares in the float could make it less likely to be a great sprinter, meanwhile, the S criteria calls for investors to usually look at small-cap or mid-cap companies.

G - Rising today with higher volume. It has been repeatedly noted while extended from its prior base - "Prior high ($14.79 on 9/24/12) defines initial support to watch above its 50 DMA line. Disciplined investors may watch out for worrisome technical sell signals while awaiting a new base or secondary buy point and more favorable market."
