Major Indices Rise Above 50-Day Moving Average Lines

The Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 Index and the Nasdaq Composite Index have collectively rallied above their 50-day moving average (DMA) line. Wednesday's big gains helped their technical stance, however the Dow is currently the only one of the 3 major indices trading above its longer-term 200 DMA line. Advancers beat decliners by 7-1 on the NYSE and by 5-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. Volume totals increased substantially on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange as the indices tallied big gains, indicating an enthusiastic surge of heavy buying demand from the institutional crowd. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE, meanwhile the highs/lows totals were evenly matched on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 56 high-ranked company from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made a new 52-week high and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up substantially from the prior session total of 16 stocks. There were gains for all 15 of the high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

 

Bulls were in full force on Wall Street, sending markets to their biggest three-day gains since August. Stocks were sharply higher due to efforts by central banks to ease the increasing strains on the global financial system. The world's major central banks agreed to joint actions by providing cheap, emergency U.S. dollar loans to banks in Europe. Meanwhile, China loosened its monetary policy by lowering the reserve requirement ratio for banks.  The 10-year note closed off 25/32 to yield 2.08%, pushing the yield higher for a fourth straight day in the longest stretch of increases this month.

Economic data added to the optimism. The number of pending home sales rose the most in more than a year and companies added more private-sector workers than anticipated in November. In addition, business activity in the Midwest grew faster than expected as orders surged. The Fed's Beige Book also helped as it showed that economic activity in most major U.S. regions increased at a moderate pace over the last two months.

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 is in healthier shape based on its gain above its 50 DMA line.

Rallied Above "Max Buy" Level Following Consolidation

H M S Holdings Corp (HMSY +$1.35 or +4.66% to $30.33) gapped up today for another solid gain with slightly above average volume, and its color code was changed to green after rising back above its "max buy" level.  Prior highs in the $27-28 area acted as support during the recent pullback. Its last appearance in this FSU section was on 11/04/11 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Recent Damage Needs Repair For Outlook to Improve." On the very next session it not only repaired the damage, it confirmed a technical buy signal with a solid volume-driven gain into new high territory.
