Major Indices Finish Mixed With Lighter Volume Totals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major averages finished mixed on Tuesday. Volume totals were reported slightly lower on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers and decliners were evenly mixed on the NYSE while decliners led advancers by about a 7-5 ratio on the Nasdaq exchange. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE while new lows led new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 27 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, down from the prior session total of 62 stocks. There were gains for 7 of the 17 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

Monday's move by ratings agency Standard and Poor's still had markets searching for direction. Specifically, 15 of the 17 Euro nations were placed on credit watch-negative, indicating that rating action was under review and could take place within 90 days. U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and Eurozone officials are gearing up for two days of meetings in Brussels to discuss solutions on taming the bloc's debt crisis.

The S&P warnings dragged financial stocks lower and there were small losses for JP Morgan Chase & Co (JPM -0.84%) and Citigroup Inc (C -0.27%). Olive Garden restaurant operator Darden Restaurants (DRI -12.38%) sank after the company cut its full year sales and profit forecasts. Analyst upgrades helped shares of General Electric (GE +2.39%).

Overseas trade finished mixed with London's FTSE up +0.1% and the German DAX lower by -1.3%. Asian markets were weak with the Nikkei in Tokyo closing -1.4% lower.

Gold & Silver Index Posts Standout Gain
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The tech sector had a negative bias as the Networking Index ($NWX -1.39%), Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.94%), Internet Index ($IIX -0.87%), and Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.19%) ended with unanimous losses. Financial stocks also dragged the major averages lower as the Bank Index ($BKX -0.91%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.43%) lost ground. The Retail Index ($RLX -0.42%) also had a negative influence on the market. The Healthcare Index ($HMO -0.23%) and energy-linked shares edged lower as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.31%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.02%) finished with small losses.

Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +1.65%) was a standout gainer. It is consolidating between its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines.

Little Resistance Remains Due To Overhead Supply
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Transdigm Group Inc (TDG -$0.68 or -0.70% to $96.14) rebounded back above its pivot point with a volume-driven gain on 11/30/11. It stayed well above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line during its recent consolidation since its negative reversal after hitting a new all-time high on 11/17/11. Little resistance remains due to overhead supply. A subsequent slump below the recent low and its 50 DMA line would trigger more worrisome technical sell signals.

Its last appearance in this FSU section was on 11/09/11 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Strong Characteristics Shown In High-Ranked Aerospace/Defense Firm." A volume-driven gain on 11/08/11 had helped it break out from a 19-week base. It reported earnings +42% on +54% sales revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Prior earnings comparisons near or above the +25% guideline and its strong annual earnings history satisfy the C and A criteria. In recent years it had rebounded and rallied to new highs following a deep consolidation after it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list 1/17/08.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 352 in Dec '10 to 396 in Sep '11, a somewhat reassuring trend concerning the I criteria. Its Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.5 currently hints at near-term accumulation as well. Its small supply of only 43.3 millions shares (S criteria) in the public float can also make is a big mover in the event of institutional accumulation or distribution.

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.
