Concerning the M criteria, the major averages recently endured distributional pressure and leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) waned, putting the rally under pressure. New buying efforts should only be made in stocks meeting all of the fundamental and technical guidelines the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The S&P Small Cap 600 Index recently slumped below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line with volume-driven losses.

The major averages fell for a second day following disappointing economic data. A report before the open showed private payrolls rose 169,000 in April, below a projected 200,000 gain. Another release revealed U.S. productivity declined during the first-quarter. Weakness was also attributed to Fed Chair Janet Yellen raising concerns over equity and bond market valuations.

The Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.69%) eked out a modest gain while the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.14%) and the Networking Index ($NWX -0.14%) both ended the session slightly in the red. The  Retail Index ($RLX -0.06%) finished flat and modest losses from financials weighed on the major averages as the  Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.48%) and the Bank Index ($BKX -0.40%) both edged lower. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.91%) was a standout decliner. Energy-related shares had a slightly negative bias as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.32%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.13%) both edged lower.

PICTURED: The Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.13%) has recently rebounded near its 200-day moving average (DMA) line.

Akamai Technologies Inc (AKAM -$0.32 or -0.42% to $75.04) held its ground today, ending with a small loss on lighter (near average) volume. It recently reported earnings +5% on +16% sales revenues for the Mar '15 quarter, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), raising concerns. The new fundamental flaw makes it a less favorable buy candidate under the fact-based investment system's guidelines. The 3 prior quarterly comparisons were near or above  the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria).

AKAM churned heavy volume last week while retreating from its 52-week high. Prior reports cautioned - "It did not produce gains above the pivot point backed by at least the +40% above average volume necessary to trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Its 50 DMA line defines near-term support to watch."

The high-ranked Internet - Network Solutions firm was last shown in this FSU section on 4/13/15 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Quietly Consolidating Above 50-Day Moving Average Line", Now it is consolidating well above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($72.23) defining near-term support to watch on pullbacks. It was first highlighted in yellow with pivot point based on its 11/28/14 high plus 10 cents in the 2/13/15 mid-day report (read here).  Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been steady.  The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 941 in Mar '14 to 1,094 in Mar '15, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.
