TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

Today we have a question from an observant member concerning the number of new 52-week highs/lows recognized in recent reports.  Many members have told us they enjoy the occasional "Ken's Mailbag" included below the FSU table near the bottom of the evening report.  These segments share a recent Q&A between CANSLIM.net's founder, Kenneth J. Gruneisen, and a member who has written in with a question concerning our services or a stock they are curious about.  Please feel free to submit your questions or any feedback you have for us via the inquiry form - click here.


Volume Light As Major Averages Posted Small Gains

The major stock averages ended a choppy day with moderate gains led by the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index.  Lighter volume totals on both major exchanges revealed a lack of serious institutional buying conviction. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE, however new 52-week lows and new highs totals on the Nasdaq exchange were evenly matched. There were 21 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, which was up from the total of 7 on the prior session. On the Featured Stocks Page there were gains from 18 of the 21 high-ranked market leaders currently listed.

 

A positive start on Wall Street dissolved. A report on March retail sales was a minor disappointment. Sales increased 0.4%, below expectations for a gain of 0.5%. It was still the ninth straight monthly increase, and February results were revised higher. Wholesale inventories at U.S. companies rose less than forecast in February, depressed by a drop among retailers as sales improved.  The Federal Reserve published its Beige Book report on regional economic conditions around the country showed some impact on the economy from the Japan crisis, but overall conditions improved at a modest but steady rate.

President Barack Obama outlined a plan to cut the nation's long-term debt, and part of the deficit-reduction plan he brought forth included defense cuts. Lockheed Martin Corp LMT -2.56%) was among the weaker issues in the Aerospace/Defense group. Bank stocks took a further hit when regulators imposed rules forcing the 14 largest mortgage servicers to pay back some botched foreclosures. Dow Jones Industrial Average component JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM -0.84%) led bank stocks lower even after earnings and revenue beat forecasts. It had to overcome flat loan growth and investor skepticism as its chief executive Jamie Dimon warned that mortgage-related losses will continue to be "extraordinarily high".

Advances in technology stocks offset weak financials. Riverbed Technology Inc (RVBD +12.35%) forecast sales and earnings above expectations and the IT services company's shares jumped back from below its January lows after nearly testing its 200-day moving average (DMA) line. 

Keep in mind that earnings announcements are likely to provide a catalyst for increased volatility for the next couple of weeks.  Additionally, it should be noted that pundits at the newspaper recognized the current market environment as an "uptrend under pressure" after Tuesday's damaging losses.  

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index's quiet gain helped it rally back above its 50 DMA line.

Financial Groups' Weakness Weighing On Rally

Weakness in the financial groups dragged on the market as the Bank Index ($BKX -1.07%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.45%) lost ground on Wednesday. The in the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.95%) also lost ground and the Healthcare Index ($HMO -0.05%) finished flat.  Tech sector leadership boosted the teach-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index as the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.74%), Internet Index ($IIX +0.92%), and Networking Index ($NWX +2.01%) easily outpaced the recently struggling Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.26%).  The major averages also benefited from a positive bias in the Retail Index ($RLX +0.24%) and energy-related groups including the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.39%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.09%).

Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Bank Index ($BKX -1.07%) recently encountered resistance at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and is slumping back toward its March lows.  Since we recognize the importance of the financial group as a leading indicator for the broader market outlook, subsequent losses to new 2011 lows would not bode well for the rally which is enduring pressure. Meanwhile, gains above the 50 DMA line from this highly influential index could help the rally to gather better upward momentum.

Fresh High Close Lacking Great Volume Conviction

Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (CMG +$7.01 or +2.56% to $281.31) was up today with average volume for a new all-time high. It recently stalled after reaching a new all-time high without triggering a proper new technical buy signal. Disciplined investors know that gains above its pivot point with well above average volume are needed to trigger a proper new (or add-on) technical buy signal. 

It could get too extended above prior highs before sufficient volume backs up its gains. Do not be frustrated by that if it ever happens in any strong leader. Know that a truly bullish market environment (M criteria) offers investors many great opportunities to buy stocks within the proper guidelines.  Many of the market's best winners gave investors multiple opportunities to buy their shares within the system's guidelines during an ongoing rally. Patience and discipline are critical to your success.

CMG currently has an A- rating for Accumulation/Distribution. Ownership by top-rated funds rose from 530 in Mar '10 to 660 in Dec '10, a nice reassurance concerning the I criteria of the investment system. Sales revenues increases have shown acceleration while up +12%, +16%, +20%+23%, and now +25% in the streak of latest quarterly comparisons while the C criteria is satisfied by ongoing earnings increases above the +25% guideline. It also has a good annual (A criteria) earnings history. 

It eventually formed a new flat base that was noted on 4/01/11 as a new pivot point was cited and its color code was changed to yellow after an orderly 7-week base pattern. It may now look like a cup-with-handle pattern after the latest light volume pullback, but without powerful volume-driven gains it is questionable whether a sustained advance is very likely. Fresh proof of heavy institutional buying demand is usually important, and fact-based investors know that a confirmation of it is worth waiting to see even if that means paying a little higher price. It was last shown in the FSU section on 3/14/11 under the headline, "Correction Also Hurts Stocks With Strong Fundamentals". Subsequent to that appearance, it was a very reassuring sign that it found support above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and was resilient near prior highs in the $237 area. As previously noted, subsequent violations and damaging losses would have raised greater concerns and triggered more worrisome technical sell signals.

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.

Volume driven gains above its pivot point may trigger a technical buy signal. Disciplined investors watch for proof of institutional buying demand and avoid the urge to get in "early".

Subscriber Questions:

April 12, 2011

Greetings Ken and company,

Please note your 4/12/11 comment, "New 52-week highs totals still significantly outnumbered new 52-week lows on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE". This comment appears to contradict your table which indicates 52 wk lows on the Nasdaq were higher than 52 wk highs, 56 to 39 respectively. This is a noteworthy change!! and the casual reader may not realize the importance of this change since it has been quite a while since this has been the case. Happy trades!  - Alan

Dear Alan,

My apologies for the mistake in the commentary, while the top table showed it accurately, just as you noted concerning new highs/lows totals. Thanks for pointing that out!  We have gone back and corrected the sentence appropriately.

While the new lows list has not become massive, the quick contraction in the new highs totals (which we have observed in past corrections or periods where the ongoing rally has come under pressure) has allowed the new lows totals to suddenly trump new highs once again. 

Last month we saw the new lows totals outnumber new highs on a few occasions. As our Thursday March 10th commentary headline read, "Market Dives Into Correction Prompting Investors To Raise Cash", one detail mentioned was that it - "Marked the first time since November 16, 2010 that new 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs on both the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange."  
http://premium.canslim.net/premium/AMR.aspx?D=031011  The market improved since March 16th, which was the last time that we noted the new lows outnumbering new highs on both exchanges. http://premium.canslim.net/premium/amr.aspx?D=031611 

Of course, we will watch closely to see (and in my case, accurately summarize) what the market is telling us. Thanks again for your attention to detail and for speaking up when there is ever anything we should correct or improve.

Best regards,

Kenneth J. Gruneisen
