Major Indices Rally With Positive Breadth But Scant New Leadership

On Wednesday's session the market rebounded from three days of losses while investors anticipated a federal plan to create jobs.  The volume totals were reported mixed, lower on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 8-1 on the NYSE and by more than 5-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. The new 52-week lows list contracted considerably and new 52-week highs outnumbered new lows on the NYSE. There were only 9 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 13 stocks. A further expansion in leadership would be a welcome reassurance for the current rally, and leadership will be critical factor in determining if stocks can extend the rally for a meaningful advance. Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of strong leaders hitting new 52-week highs, as this commentary has repeated!  There were unanimous gains from the 7 high-ranked leaders currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

 

Reports said that President Obama will propose a $300 billion plan during Thursday's much anticipated presentation, using a mixture of tax cuts, spending on infrastructure, and aid to local governments. Wednesday afternoon the market appeared relieved when the Federal Reserve's Beige Book survey said the economy continued to expand at a modest pace, even though it grew more slowly in some regions of the country. 

A positive tone in Europe helped sentiment on Wall Street. A German court approved that country's participation in euro area rescue funds, and the Italian Senate approved the Prime Minister's austerity package. The German equity benchmark rallied +4%.

Management shake-ups helped boost shares of Bank of America Corp (BAC +7%) after the bank announced the departure of two senior executives. Also, Yahoo! Inc (YHOO +5.42%) fired its chief executive and announced a strategic review to revive growth. Nvidia Corp (NVDA +8.12%) rallied after the company forecast 2013 revenue above analyst estimates. Meanwhile, on the down side, Darden Restaurants Inc (DRI -3.55%) fell to the lowest in almost 11 months after reporting first-quarter profit below analysts' projections.

Energy stocks lifted along with oil prices. Crude oil climbed more than $3 per barrel in New York, the most in 3 weeks, as a weather system threatened to reduce U.S. production from the Gulf of Mexico. Meanwhile, gold futures slumped more than $50 per ounce.

Disciplined investors may carefully consider new buying efforts when all key criteria are satisfied, as the market environment (M criteria) may currently be described as an uptrend under pressure. However, the indices remain well below their respective 200-day moving average (DMA) lines, while to be considered truly "healthy" they would need to rebound above their long-term averages.

The September 2011 issue of CANSLIM.net News will be available soon.  The Q3 2011 Webcast has also been scheduled for Wednesday, September 28th at 8PM EST.  Links to all prior reports and webcasts are available on the Premium Member Homepage.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index has formed a recent series of higher lows while recent gains have lacked great volume conviction.

Gain With Twice Average Volume Lifts Firm Above "Max Buy" Level

Exlservice Holdings Inc's (EXLS +$0.90 or +3.53% to $26.43) solid volume-driven gain today and strong finish helped it rally above its previously cited "max buy" level and its color code was changed to green. No resistance remains due to overhead supply, however it is extended from its prior base pattern. Since it was last shown in this FSU section on 8/25/11 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Volume Light on Pullback Below Pivot Point", it has tallied several gains backed by above average volume. Meanwhile, on any subsequent pullback, the stock's 50-day moving average (DMA) line defines important chart support to watch above its recent low ($23.01 on 8/19/11) and above its 200 DMA line.

Its Accumulation/Distribution rating has still been improving, and the current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.3 is indicative of recent institutional accumulation. It reported earnings +52% on +40% sales revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 versus the year ago period. Quarterly comparisons (C criteria) have shown mostly impressive sales and earnings increases. Downturn in its FY '08 earnings was previously noted as a small flaw with respect to the A criteria of the fact-based investment system.

G - Gap up gain today with above average volume helped it rally above its "max buy" level, and its color code is changed to green. On its pullback following last week's technical breakout the prior highs acted as support. A subsequent close under its old high close ($61.54 on 8/03/11) would completely negate the recent technical breakout.
