Stocks Pare Gains on Eurozone Credit Watch
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
An afternoon slump restricted the major averages' progress yet they still finished Monday's session with unanimous gains. Advancers beat decliners by mre than 3-1 on the NYSE and more than 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. Volume was reported slightly higher on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange indicating an increase in institutional accumulation. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows both on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange for a second consecutive session. There were 62 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 53 stocks. There were gains for 12 of the 17 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

All major U.S. averages closed the session in the green, adding to last week's rally. Positive developments out of the Eurozone buoyed markets in early action, despite weaker than expected U.S. economic data. Markets fell from session highs in late day action as ratings agency Standard and Poor's announced that all European nations were put on credit watch-negative and at risk of a credit downgrade within 90 days.

Financials including Bank of America Corp (BAC +2.66%) and JP Morgan Chase & Co (JPM +3.65%) led the markets higher, despite pulling back after the S&P announcement. Shares of global insurer MetLife (MET +3.65%) rose after raising 2012 earnings guidance on improved results in U.S. retirement products and improved international operations. M&A activity also helped the market's positive bias as shares of SuccessFactors Inc. (SFSF +51.43%) rose sharply after SAP AG (SAP -1.95%) agreed to buy the company for $40 per share.

Our monthly newsletter CANSLIM.net News will be published soon with an informative review of current market conditions, leading groups, and best buy candidates. Via the Premium Member Homepage links to all prior reports and webcasts are always available.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index faces near-term resistance at its 200-day moving average (DMA) line and recent chart highs.

Financial, Tech, Retail, and Energy-Related Groups Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Financial stocks helped underpin the major averages' advance as the Bank Index ($BKX +2.69%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +3.33%) tallied solid gains. Strength in energy-related stocks boosted the Oil Services Index ($OSX +2.44%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +1.36%). The Retail Index ($RLX +1.22%) gained ground and the tech sector saw unanimous gains from the Networking Index ($NWX +1.38%), Internet Index ($IIX +1.48%), Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.81%), and Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.95%). Meanwhile, defensive groups were laggards as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.42%) edged lower, and the Healthcare Index ($HMO -0.03%) finished flat.

Challenging 52-week High After Rebounding From Deep Correction
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Mercadolibre Inc (MELI +$5.70 or +6.68% to $91.04) challenged its 52-week high today and in the mid-day report it was color coded yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 52-week high plus 10 cents. It went through a deep consolidation below its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 6/13/11. Its earnings history has remained strong, still satisfying the C and A criteria. Its last appearance in this FSU section was on 6/03/11 with an annotated daily graph under the headline, "Perched Near Highs While Negative Market Remains a Concern." It was then noted on 6/13/11 - "Down today with slightly higher volume after damaging losses last week violated its 50 DMA line and prior lows triggering technical sell signals. Based on its technical deterioration it will be dropped from the Featured Stocks list tonight." It subsequently fell from $77.31 to as low as $48.30 before making an impressive recovery in recent months.

The Latin American Internet - eCommerce firm has seen top-rated funds owning an interest wane from 323 in Mar '11 to 306 in Sep '11, which is a slightly discouraging sign concerning the I criteria. This is a reminder for disciplined investors to watch for a proper technical breakout free of all resistance as a reassuring sign that fresh institutional accumulation is occurring which may lead to a more sustained and significant advance.

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.
