Small Caps Rose Again as 3 Major Averages Fell
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The small cap indexes again posted gains while the 3 major averages finished lower on Monday. The S&P lost 11 points to 2105. The NASDAQ slipped 11 points to 4,993. The volume totals were reported lighter than the prior session totals on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE. Decliners led advancers by nearly a 2-1 margin on the NYSE while advances narrowly led decliners on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 45 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 49 stocks. New 52-week highs contracted yet still outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 4 of the 11 high-ranked companies currently on the Featured Stocks Page.
Concerning the M criteria, according to the newspaper the market earned the label of being in a "correction" following Wednesday's action - due to distributional action in the major indices and waning leadership (fewer stocks hitting new 52-week highs). New buying efforts should be avoided until a new confirmed rally with a follow-through day under the guidelines the fact-based investment system.
PICTURED: The Dow dropped 86 points to close at 18,105, consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and finishing -1% off its all-time high.
The major averages lost ground after approaching all-time highs at the end of last week. Domestic stocks were hurt by falling oil prices while international bond markets traded lower on worries surrounding the Greek debt negotiations.
All 10 S&P 500 sectors traded lower on Monday's session. Energy experienced the sharpest decline, down more than -2%, as oil prices fell. Exxon (XOM -1.68%) fell, and Noble Energy (NBL -6.21%) fell harder after reaching a deal to buy Rosetta Resources (ROSE +27.19%) for $2.1 billion.
On the earnings front, Actavis (ACT +3.05%) rose after posting positive results. Dean Foods (DF +6.5%) rose after profits beat analyst expectations. In other news, shares of Monster Beverage (MNST +4.31%) rose following an analyst upgrade.
The bond market saw a selloff on fears of an impasse in Greek debt negotiations. Treasuries had the largest one-day slide in two months, with the ten-year note dropping a point and 5/32 to yield 2.28%.
Commodities traded mostly lower on the day. NYMEX WTI crude was down 0.3% to $59.23/barrel. COMEX gold lost 0.5% to $1183.00/ounce.

Found Support at 50-Day Moving Average During Ongoing Ascent
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Palo Alto Networks (PANW +$0.72 or +0.48% to $151.82) found support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($146.08) recently. That important short-term average has acted as support throughout its ongoing advance. The volume totals have been below average while consolidating, however it has made little headway since triggering a new technical buy signal with a volume-driven gain on 4/21/15. Subsequent damaging losses below the 50 DMA line may trigger a technical sell signal. Keep in mind that 3 out of 4 stocks follow the direction of the broader market averages (M criteria).
The Computer Software - Security firm was last shown in this FSU section with annotated graphs on 4/17/15 under the headline, " Consolidating Above 50-Day Moving Average Line". It reported earnings +90% on +54% sales revenues for the Jan '15 quarter, its 3rd consecutive comparison with strong sales revenues increases and earnings above the +25% minimum guideline satisfying the C criteria. It now has an Earnings Per Share (EPS) Rating of 99, the highest possible rating. It has a strong annual earnings (A criteria) history.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 246 in Jun '13 to 700 in Mar '15, a very reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its small supply (S criteria) of 68.3 million shares in the public float is another favorable characteristic.

G - Reported earnings +5% on +16% sales revenues for the Mar '15 quarter, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), a fundamental flaw making it a less favorable buy candidate. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and new annotated graphs. 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."

Y - Pulled back today, and it reversed into the red on the prior session after touching a new 52-week high. Highlighted in yellow and pivot point is cited based on its 3/31/15 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent volume-driven gains may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Found support when recently consolidating above its 50 DMA line ($70.29) defining important near term support to watch on pullbacks.

G - Color code is changed to green after slumping below support at its 50 DMA line ($154.73) with today's 4th consecutive loss raising concerns. Only a prompt rebound above the 50 DMA line would help its outlook improve. Technically, it broke out on 4/23/15 with a volume-driven gain for new highs, and healthy stocks rarely fall more than -7% below their pivot point in favorable market environments. Reported earnings +29% on +64% sales revenues for the Mar '15 quarter.

Y - Recent slump below its pivot point raised concerns. Pulling back after triggering a technical buy signal on 4/28/15 with a gain above its pivot point backed by +47% above average volume. Consolidating near its 50 DMA line ($38.62) which defines near-term support. Disciplined investors always limit losses if a stock falls more than -7% from their purchase price. Annual earnings (A criteria) have not been strong and steady.

Recent lows near $93.50 define important chart support where more damaging losses may raise concerns and trigger worrisome technical sell signals.
