Leadership Expands but Major Indices' Rally Lacks Volume Surge
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Fewer Americans than forecast filed applications for unemployment benefits last week, and this news was considered a bright point on Thursday as the major averages posted gains. Advancing issues beat decliners by about 3-2 on the NYSE while the mixture was even on the Nasdaq exchange. Volume totals were reported slightly lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, which still indicated a lack of great buying conviction coming from the institutional crowd. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership expanded as there were 53 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 total of 32 on the prior session. On the Featured Stocks Page there were 10 gainers out of the 15 high-ranked leaders currently included.
A trio of weaker-than-expected economic reports suggested the Federal Reserve will be in no hurry to raise interest rates. April existing home sales, April economic indicators, and the May Philadelphia factory report were all weaker than forecast. Leading indicators fell 0.3%, the first decline since last June. Existing home sales dropped 0.8%, and the average selling price for an existing home is 5% below year-ago levels.
Oil prices gave up early gains following the reports, and oil traded below $100 per barrel. Dollar Tree Inc (DLTR +2.9%) and PetsMart Inc (PETM +7.2%) were among retailers posting positive earnings. LinkedIn (LNKD +109%) blasted to nearly $123 per share on its first day of trading.
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up as many as 73 points in early trading.

Biotech Index Healthier Than Weak Leading Indicators
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Internet Index ($IIX +0.58%) led then tech sector while the Networking Index ($NWX +0.04%) ended flat and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.85%) and Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.65%) suffered losses. The Healthcare Index ($HMO +0.03%) and Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.05%) finished flat and energy-linked indexes traded with no distinct bias as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.26%) inched lower and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.14%) inched higher. The Retail Index ($RLX -0.16%), Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.23%), and Bank Index ($BKX +0.10%) also showed very little change.
Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.65%) is consolidating well above its rising 50-day moving average line. These are characteristic of a strong group that remains in healthy shape. This contrasts greatly with the financial indexes, leading indicators which recent reports have shown (read here) struggling below their 50 and 200 DMA lines.

50-Day Moving Average Line Tested This Week
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Priceline.com Inc. (PCLN +$3.72 or +0.72% to $522.10) posted a small gain today on light volume. Technically, it found support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line this week and posted gains with slightly above average volume. That short-term average has been a reliable support level this year. It is now -7.1% off its 52-week high, and any subsequent violation of the recent chart low ($493.67 on 5/17/11) would raise more serious concerns and trigger a worrisome technical sell signal. It could go on to produce more climactic gains, but disciplined investors know that it is usually best to avoid chasing extended stocks and watch for a sound base pattern and convincing technical buy signal. Patient investors may watch for a subsequent base to possibly form and be noted in the weeks ahead. If so, it will be noted and its color code will be changed to yellow again when a new pivot point is cited.
Distributional pressure in recent weeks ate into the gains it had tallied since its last appearance in this FSU section with an annotated graph on 4/20/11 under the headline, "Extended Leader Already Familiar Among Institutional Crowd", when it went on and rallied as high as $561.88. Keep in mind, the investment system's biggest winning models were typically held by at least a few mutual funds and attracting many others. However, once a stock is very heavily owned by a long list of mutual funds, as is now the case with PCLN, investors should be especially cautious and alert for any technical sell signals or fundamental disappointments which could prompt a rush for the exits. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,348 in Sep '10 to 1,523 in Mar '11, and increasing interest is an encouraging sign concerning the I criteria.

Recently slumping toward prior lows in the $70.50 range and its 200 DMA line defining important long-term chart support to watch. Overhead supply up through the $83 level may hinder upward progress for the near term. >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 5/16/2011. Click here.
