Major Averages Ended Mixed With Less Leadership
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Stocks finished mixed on Tuesday. The Dow climbed 59 points to 18,036. The S&P 500 advanced 3 points to 2,095. The NASDAQ bucked the trend to close down 10 points to 4,977. The volume totals were reported higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session totals. Advancers led decliners by more than 3-2 on the NYSE, but decliners led advancers by a narrow 7-6 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 23 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 58 stocks. New 52-week highs contracted yet still outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for only 2 of the 14 high-ranked companies currently on the Featured Stocks Page.

Concerning the M criteria, the major averages have seen less distributional pressure in recent weeks and there has remained a healthy level of leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs). New buying efforts should only be made in stocks meeting all of the fundamental and technical guidelines the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The weekly chart of the S&P 500 Index illustrates its +95% rally from the October 2011 lows.

The major averages fluctuated as investors weighed positive earnings reports against dismal economic data. Seven of the 10 S&P 500 sectors finished higher on the day. In financials, JP Morgan Chase & Co (JPM +1.56%) rose after topping quarterly projections, and Bank of America (BAC +0.13%) inched higher in sympathy. Energy was another notable outperformer. Exxon (XOM +1.51%) rallied in sympathy with oil prices. Industrials weighed on the index. Norfolk Southern (NSC -4.18%) fell after it lowered forward guidance. Tech was the worst performing group as Apple (AAPL -0.43%) ended slightly lower.

In economic data, retail sales in March rose 0.9% and missed estimates spurring speculation of weak consumer discretionary earnings reports. Other March data showed wholesale prices advanced 0.2%, but small business optimism climbed less than anticipated.

Treasuries trimmed gains but finished higher. The benchmark 10-year note advanced 8/32 to yield 1.90%. Traders estimate the probability of a 0.25% Fed Funds rate by the Fed's June meeting is 50%, according to the futures market.

In commodities, WTI crude surged 2.3% to $53.08/barrel after the EIA forecast lower shale output. COMEX gold lost 0.5% to $1192.80/ounce. In FOREX, the dollar fell 0.7% with the euro up 0.8% to $1.0651/EUR and the yen 0.6% stronger to ¥119.46/USD.

Commodity-Linked Groups and Networking Index Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Commodity-linked groups had a positive bias as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +1.19%), Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +1.59%), and the Oil Services Index ($OSX +2.28%) each posted solid gains. The Networking Index ($NWX +1.79%) led the tech sector, meanwhile the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.95%) and the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.47%) both lost ground on Tuesday. The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.17%) and Bank Index ($BKX -0.30%) were mixed and little changed, having little impact on the major averages. There was a small loss for the Retail Index ($RLX -0.12%).

PICTURED: The Bank Index ($BKX -0.30%) is consolidating above its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines.

Perched at All-Time High But Concerns Remain After Sub Par Quarter
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. (VRX -$0.52 to $208.94) is perched near its all-time high. It stubbornly held its ground after completing a new Public Offering on 3/17/15. Earnings for Dec '14 quarter raised concerns, below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Recent low ($186.20 on 3/11/15) and its 50 DMA line define near-term support to watch.

The high-ranked Medical - Ethical Drugs firm was last shown in this FSU section on 3/24/15 with annotated daily and weekly graphs under the headline, "Fundamental Concerns Raised by Weaker Earnings and Sales Increases". It completed a new Public Offering on 3/17/15 while consolidating near its all-time high, very extended from any sound base. It completed an earlier Public Offering on 6/18/13. The upshot of such offerings is that the end result is typically an increase in the total number of institutional owners. Unfortunately, VRX's latest earnings for Dec '14 quarter raised fundamental concerns for fans of the fact-based investment system.

It gapped up on 2/23/15 for a considerable volume-driven gain on news it will acquire Salix Pharmaceuticals (SLXP). It was highlighted at $144.84 in yellow in the 1/05/15 mid-day report (read here) with an annotated weekly graph showing a new pivot point cited based on the 12/22/14 high while building a cup-with-handle base. Subsequent gains above the pivot point on 1/08/15 were backed by +71% above average volume triggering a new technical buy signal.

A downturn in FY '07 and '08 earnings (A criteria) was followed by a strong earnings rebound in recent years. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.5 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,056 in Mar '14 to 1,201 in Mar '15, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria.

Color Codes Explained :
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.
