 CLOSING  MARKET COMMENTARY  
Retailers' Encouraging Sales Data Helps Major Averages Rally Further

The major averages bounced nicely on Monday after finding support near their prior chart highs. Advancers led decliners by greater than a 2-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and Nasdaq exchanges while volume, an important indicator of institutional activity, was reported lighter on the NYSE and very near but just above the prior session total on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 38 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made a new 52-week high and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, which was lower than the 46 on the prior session. The number of stocks making new 52-week lows still outnumbered stocks making new 52-week highs, narrowly on the NYSE, and by a wider margin on the Nasdaq exchange.  It would be an encouraging sign of healthy market leadership to see an expansion in the new highs list in the days ahead.

Last week, the major averages encountered resistance after rallying near their respective 200-day moving average (DMA) lines, and they pulled back towards support (formerly resistance). On Monday, the bulls showed up and defended support while sending stocks higher, which is considered a healthy sign. A slew of stronger-than-expected results from some of the country's largest retailers helped lift stocks. In addition, the world's largest bond insurer said that it has enough reserves to cover the securities it guarantees, helping allay concerns that the credit crunch will intensify.

The Retail ($RLX +2.74%) group was among the day's strongest industry groups (see the Industry Group Watch section of tonight's report for an in depth analysis) which were buoyed higher by stronger than expected sales. Shares of Wal-Mart Stores (WMT +1.47%), Macy's Inc (M +3.27%), Anntaylor Stores Corp (ANN +16.05%), Buckle Inc. (BKE +1.75%), Nike (NKE +0.72%) and several other high profile retailers enjoyed healthy gains on the news.

MBIA Inc.(MBI +4.45%) rallied for the first time in nearly a week after the bond insurer said it has "ample liquidity" and will not have to raise additional capital. This helped a slew of financial stocks to rally, many of them recovering from Friday's heavy American International Group, Inc. (AIG -4.74%) related sell-off. It was very encouraging to see a nice handful of stocks breakout of sound bases on Monday. Research-In-Motion Ltd. (RIMM +6.93%), Apple Inc.(AAPL +2.57%), Excel Maritime Carriers (EXM +11.89%), and Sun Hydraulics Inc. (SNHY +7.10%) all surged on heavy volume. Watching how market leaders perform on a day-to-day basis is an excellent way to ascertain the underlying health of the market.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index bounced with a gain on lighter volume after pulling back near support at prior chart highs.

Retail Index Bounces Near 50 Day Moving Average

Financial shares helped underpin the major averages advance on Monday as the Bank ($BKX +2.04%) and Broker/Dealer ($XBD +2.53%) indexes posted solid gains.  The tech sector had a positive bias while the Networking ($NWX +1.71%) and Internet ($DOT +1.72%) indexes outpaced the Semiconductor ($SOX +1.16%) and Biotechnology ($BTK +0.89%) indexes.  The energy group was mixed as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.42%) fell while the Integrated Oil ($XOI +0.90%) rose modestly.  There were minor losses for the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.38%) and the Healthcare ($HMO -0.14%) group.

Latest Notes on All Featured Stocks | Recently Featured Stock Updates
The stocks below have been recently featured by CANSLIM.net. Our experts monitor these stocks and post updates on noteworthy action here.

Twice Average Volume Behind Gain to New Highs

Volume is a vital component of technical analysis.  Prudent investors that incorporate volume into their stock analysis have often benefited several fold. Ideally, healthy stocks will more often tend to rise on higher volume and pullback on lighter volume.  Volume is a great proxy for institutional sponsorship.  Conversely, high volume declines can be ominous, as this usually signals distribution and further price deterioration are more likely to follow.

Sun Hydraulics Inc. (SNHY +$2.63 or +7.10% to $39.68), surged to a new record high today with a considerable gain on two times average volume. The healthy action, indicative of institutional buying demand (the I criteria), helped this high-ranked leader appear in yellow in the CANSLIM.net MidDay Breakouts Report (read here) with a new $36.60 pivot point and a $38.43 maximum buy price and the following note: "Y - High-ranked company in the Machinery - Gen Industrial group reaching new all-time highs today. Showed strong quarterly earnings increases. Patience may allow disciplined investors to accumulate shares on light volume pullbacks toward prior chart highs. Technically broke out on 5/06/08 from an orderly flat base as well, and now it is a bit extended from that earlier base."  The company increased its earnings in the latest quarter by +30% while sales jumped +20% versus the same period in the previous year. SNHY sports strong ranks; an Earnings Per Share (EPS) rating of 95, and a Relative Strength (RS) rating of 98.  The number of top-rated funds owning an interest rose from 30 in Jun '07 to 53 in Mar '08, which shows increasing institutional demand (the I criteria). Concerns would be raised by any weakness leading to a close under its old chart highs near $36.50 area which would have the effect of technically negating its latest breakout. Always limit losses per the 7-8% sell rule, and never hold a stock if it falls more than that from your purchase price. 

This stock was first featured on Friday, May 27, 2005 in the CANSLIM.net Mid Day Breakouts Report (read here) with a split adjusted $15.24 pivot point and a $16 maximum buy price. Initially, the stock rallied nearly +50% before encountering some resistance and then pulling back and triggering technical sell signals. The stock spent the next 2 years building a new base before breaking out again in May 2007. A few months later, the stock topped out in July 2007 and began building its latest 10-month base. Last week it cleared an orderly flat base with big volume gains on May 6, 2008 which alllowed it to challenge prior chart highs in the $36-38 area.

See the Featured Stock Update section of 5/2/08 CANSLIM.net After Market Update for analysis and an annotated graph (read here). Deterioration leading to a close back in its prior base would raise concerns by negating its breakout. Ahead of its latest earnings report it technically broke out 4/16/08 with a considerable gain on well above average volume. Strong earnings history satisfies the C and A criteria.

Y - It dipped intra-day to under its max buy level before closing the session higher, demonstrating how patience may allow for accumulation on light volume pullbacks as previously noted. Its earnings growth rate has been stellar - satisfying the C and A criteria. Gapped up on 5/09/08 after reporting solid sales and earnings increases for the latest quarter ended March 31, 2008 and providing stronger guidance. Technically, the breakaway gap was a solid buy signal, blasting well above its latest pivot point by more than its +5% max buy level. Breakaway gaps have been recognized as one exception where, in bullish market environments, stocks may be bought as much as +10% above a stock's pivot point. The usual sell discipline applies. Confirming group leadership (the L criteria) came from Google after its latest earnings report. See the Featured Stock Update section of the 4/14/08 CANSLIM.net After Market Update for analysis and an annotated graph demonstrating how it found great support in recent weeks near its 50 DMA line, an important short term average where healthy stocks typically find support from institutional investors (read here). Its 4/18/08 gap up was a previously noted bullish technical indication of institutional accumulation (the I criteria) during its latest base. PCLN has traded up as much as +50% above the pivot point noted when featured in the 11/09/07 CANSLIM.net Mid-Day BreakOuts Report (read here).

Y - Still quietly consolidating above prior chart highs in the $26 area, which is now an important chart support level. Heavy volume on 4/17/08 helped it blast to a new all-time high after its latest earnings report, however there are fundamental concerns, as its +21% increase over the March 31, 2007 results is below the +25% guideline.

Y - Quietly hovering near support at its 200 DMA line, and just above prior chart lows that were previously noted as important levels to watch. It gapped down on 4/14/08 and violated its 50 DMA line, raising concerns. Considerable gains on +50% above average volume or more are needed to help it rally above its pivot point and trigger a new technical buy signal. See the Featured Stock Update section of the 3/24/08 CANSLIM.net After Market Update for analysis and an annotated graph (read here). It has failed to make headway and pulled back since featured in the 2/21/08 CANSLIM.net Mid-Day BreakOuts Report (read here) and later that afternoon in a more detailed CANSLIM.net Stock Bulletin (read here). It has shown steady annual earnings growth and its quarterly earnings increases have been borderline, but not especially impressive (for the C and A criteria) in respect to the system's +25% guideline.

Y - Gain on average volume today for a new high close. Recently consolidating above prior highs in the $120 area, forming a "3 weeks tight" type pattern. Analysis with an annotated chart appeared on 4/20/08 in the CANSLIM.net Special Report Series (Part 3) - Expansion in Leadership Gives Rally a Better Footing (see here). Gains on 4/17/08 and 4/18/08 with above average volume lifted it to a new 52-week high, approaching its max buy level. Quarterly earnings increases have shown acceleration however sales revenue growth has been lackluster and below guidelines. This is a technically strong big-cap stock and its annual earnings growth has been slow but steady. Institutional ownership by top funds has been increasing, a nice reassurance for the I criteria.

G - Consolidating on light volume after recently hitting new all-time highs well above its max buy level. See the Featured Stock Update section of the 5/1/2008 CANSLIM.net After Market Update for analysis and an annotated graph (read here). Healthy action since it gapped up and was featured in the 4/16/08 CANSLIM.net Mid-Day BreakOuts Report rising from a "3-weeks tight" type of chart pattern (read here). Widespread strength in the Transportation - Rail group is a nice reassurance of leadership (good L criteria). Better than +25% earnings increases in the 2 latest quarters help satisfy the C criteria, however sales revenues growth rate remains below guidelines. It has a decent annual earnings history (good A criteria).

G - Color code is changed to green after further gains today on +45% above average volume lifted it beyond its max buy level.

G - Volume is drying up while it is consolidating in a tight range above support at prior chart highs in the $47 area. See the Featured Stock Update section of the 4/23/08 CANSLIM.net After Market Update for analysis and an annotated graph (read here). Any close below its earlier high close ($46.73 on 4/02/08) would raise concerns and trigger a technical sell signal. Featured in the 4/16/08 CANSLIM.net Mid-Day BreakOuts Report when breaking out of a cup-with-handle type pattern (read here). It gapped up and hit a new all-time high after reporting strong sales and earnings increases in the latest quarter ended Mar 31, 2008, however prior sales revenues growth was lackluster.

G- Gain today on light volume for its best ever close, above its max buy level. Recently reported another strong quarter. Its sales revenues growth has shown acceleration and earnings growth rates have improved considerably in the past 4 quarters (well above the +25% guideline) to satisfy the C criteria, and it recently raised guidance. Annual earnings history has been up and down, which is less than ideal concerning the A criteria). Small 8.56 million share float. Number of top-rated funds owning an interest has increased from 25 in Jun '07 to 44 in Mar '08, satisfying the I criteria.

G - Second best close ever. It has high ranks, a good annual earnings growth history, and very solid quarterly sales revenues and earnings increases (the C criteria), along with increasing institutional ownership (the I criteria) and reassuring group leadership (the L criteria). It has rallied beyond its max buy level after bouncing near its 50 DMA line, finding prompt support after it fell back into its prior base with a considerable loss on 5/01/08 with heavy volume. See the 4/22/08 CANSLIM.net Stock Bulletin for detailed analysis and an annotated graph (read here). Featured in the 4/21/08 CANSLIM.net Mid-Day BreakOuts Report (read here) after it gapped up, breaking out of a near 4 month base.
