Latest Rally Attempt Still Awaits Confirming Gains

The market followed Thanksgiving Day with a shortened trading session, and volume totals were obviously light as the major exchanges closed at 1PM EST on Friday and decliners led advancers by 2-1 on the NYSE and near a 3-2 ratio on the Nasdaq. New leadership was present and a total of 72 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, however that was down from a total of 114 issues on Wednesday's session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange.  Ezcorp Inc (EZPW +3.81%) was the biggest gainer of the high-ranked leaders currently listed on the Featured Stocks Page as it rallied for a new all-time high, and its volume was near an average day's total for the holiday-shortened trading session.

Del Monte Foods Co. (DLM +4.67%) shares rose after a private equity group agreed to acquire the company in a $4 billion deal.  And shares of retailers were in focus as investors waited for news on Black Friday sales.

The US dollar hit a seven-week high against the yen on concerns the conflict in the Korean peninsula could worsen, raising the demand for relatively safe assets. This week the major averages showed encouraging resilience since fighting broke out between North and South Korea. Additionally, stocks shrugged off the bad news as Federal Reserve officials raised their unemployment projections for the next two years, and lowered their outlook for growth in 2011. Concerns that Europe's debt crisis will spread are still looming. Financial stocks' weakness continued after recent FBI raids and an investigation into possible insider trading widened. As a "leading indicator" the group's weakness may hurt the latest rally attempt's chances.

Friday marked Day 7 of the new rally attempt. At its low on Tuesday the Dow Jones Industrial Average flirted with last week's lows and briefly traded under its 50-day moving average line. The S&P 500 Index narrowly avoided undercutting its 11/16/10 low, keeping its new rally effort intact. Unless last their Day 1 lows are undercut the possibility remains open for the major averages to produce a solid follow through day of gains on higher volume to reconfirm the rally. Disciplined investors will watch for a new confirmed rally with a follow-through day (FTD) gain of at least +1.8% from one or more of the major averages with higher volume and an expansion in leadership (new highs). A strong FTD would suggest that another sustainable advance may be at hand.  Patience is called for before new buying efforts are justified. The latest correction could continue as more strong leaders may falter, prompting investors into reducing exposure rather than accumulating more shares. Keep your focus on the action in the major averages and high-ranked leaders to know that your investment portfolio is in proper step, and carefully manage you stock holdings on a case by case basis with quick reflexes if selling becomes necessary.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index has not produced a follow-through day (FTD) of meaningful gains on higher volume since it dug in its heels for Day 1 of a new rally attempt on November 17th. Confirming gains meeting the definition of a FTD would be a welcome reassurance that the recovery rally may continue into new high territory while 2010 draws to a close.

Commodity-Linked and Financial Groups Led Decliners

Commodity-linked groups were among Friday's weakest areas as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.74%), Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.53%), and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -1.18%) sank.  Financial shares were a negative influence as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.15%) and Bank Index ($BKX -0.95%) continued foundering, weighing negatively on the latest rally attempt's chances.  Losses for the Healthcare Index ($HMO -0.82%), Retail Index ($RLX -0.36%), and unanimous losses in the tech sector rounded out a lackluster session as the Networking Index ($NWX -0.81%) and Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.67%) finished modestly lower and the Internet Index ($IIX -0.10%) ended almost unchanged.

PICTURED: The Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.52%) is trading -7.3% off its 52-week high while consolidating near its 50-day moving average line.

High-Ranked Computer Software Firm Perched Near Pivot Point

Often, when a leading stock is setting up to breakout of a solid base it is highlighted in CANSLIM.net's Mid-Day Breakouts Report.  The most relevant factors are noted in the report which allows prudent CANSLIM oriented investors to place the issue in their watch list.  After doing any necessary backup research, the investor is prepared to act if and when the stock triggers a technical buy signal (breaks above its pivot point on more than +50% average turnover). In the event the stock fails to trigger a technical buy signal and its price declines then it will simply be removed from the watch list.

Camelot Info Systems Ads (CIS +0.87 or +4.86% to $18.77) posted a solid gain today with above average volume, nearly challenging its 52-week high after a choppy 8-week base during which it found prompt support after a 50-day moving average (DMA) violation. This Chinese Computer Software firm was featured in the 11/26/10 mid-day report (read here) as its color code was changed to yellow with a pivot point cited base on its 52-week high plus ten cents. Its sales revenues and earnings history appears to be very strong, and it has earned high ranks. Recent quarterly comparisons showed strong sales revenues and earnings increases above the +25% guideline, but decelerating sequentially. Disciplined investors resist the temptation to get in "early" while watching for a convincing breakout and a follow-through day (FTD) from at least one of the major averages (M criteria) as critical reassurances before new buying efforts are justified under the investment system guidelines.


Color Codes Explained :
Y - Better candidates highlighted by our staff of experts.
G - Previously featured in past reports as yellow but may no longer be buyable under the guidelines.

BIDU has been noted as a riskier "late stage" candidate after ongoing coverage, yet it could go on to produce more climactic gains.

Y - Perched at all-time highs after a gap up gain with above average volume on 11/22/10. NFLX had been noted as a riskier "late stage" set-up, and the gap up gain amounted to a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. However, a follow-through day from at least one of the major averages is also needed as a confirmation of a new rally since recent concerns were raised about the M criteria.

Y - Finished the holiday-shortened week at its best close of 2010 after posting small gains without great volume conviction. Confirming gains on heavy volume coupled with a follow-through day from at least one of the major market averages (M criteria) could trigger new (or add-on) technical buy signals. Meanwhile, its 50 DMA line defines important support to watch.

Subscriber Questions:

November 24, 2010

Dear Ken,

Please explain a proper new or add-on technical buy signal.  What do you mean by a new or add-on?  Also, over what period of time do you measure overhead resistance? 

Thanks for your help!  Gil

 
Ken's Response:

 November 24, 2010

Hello and Happy Thanksgiving Gil,

At the time, the M criteria should be confirmed with a follow-through day from at least one of the major averages before any new buying efforts are truly justified. A proper technical buy signal in an individual stock requires a gain above the pivot point cited backed by at least +50% above average volume or more. Such is the case if it is a new breakout (first time shown in a report), or if it is a breakout occurring from a subsequent sound base (add-on) or secondary buy point, as we may occasionally note whenever high-ranked leaders appropriately fit the guidelines they teach us in the Certification. If it is an add-on opportunity, you should never buy as many shares as you accumulated at lower prices.  So, on the new breakout you might buy 1,000 shares, and upon a proper add-on breakout you might accumulate 500 more shares, for example.
 
Overhead supply is a term we use to describe when a stock has spent many weeks or months trading at higher prices, as those investors who bought at those higher prices are all a source of resistance as they each look to unload when they can get a better price back to their break even point, for example.  Only when the stock has risen clear of all overhead supply is it considered most likely to make an explosive rally meaningfully higher.  They teach us in the Certification that we should be concerned about prior highs in the last year and three quarters as "overhead supply", while highs that occurred more than a year and three quarters earlier are not considered to be a concern.

Best regards,

Kenneth J. Gruneisen
