Nasdaq Exchange Showed Positive Bias While NYSE Was Negative
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

For the week, the Dow was down -0.9% and the S&P 500 fell -0.7%. The NASDAQ was essentially flat declining less than -0.1%. Volume totals on Friday were higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by an 8-7 margin on the NYSE, yet advancers led decliners by a 9-5 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 46 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the BreakOuts Page, up from the prior session total of 27 stocks. The new 52-week lows list swelled and outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE, meanwhile, the new 52-week highs list expanded and outnumbered new lows on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 12 of the 14 high-ranked companies currently on the Featured Stocks Page.

The increase in healthy leadership (more stocks hitting new 52-week highs) on Wednesday's session provided fresh and reassuring proof that investors have a favorable market environment (M criteria). The fact-based investment system encourages only buying stocks meeting all of the key fundamental and technical criteria.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index is consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Stocks ended a choppy session mixed on Friday. The Dow fell 56 points to 17849. The S&P 500 slipped 3 points to 2092. The NASDAQ Composite rose 9 points to 5068.

The major averages finished broadly lower as investors took a positive employment report as an indication the Fed may begin raising interest rates later this year. Nonfarm payrolls rose 280,000 in May, topping a projected 226,000 increase. The unemployment rate edged up to 5.5% from 5.4% while participation and hourly wages improved modestly last month. Market action was also attributed to Greece deferring a debt payment to the IMF as talks with creditors stalled.

Telecom and utilities were down the most on the session as AT&T Inc (T -1.98%) and Edison International (EIX -1.97%) both fell. Energy and financials were the best performing sectors. Transocean (RIG +3.34%) rose as oil prices recovered from a pullback on OPEC maintaining its production levels. Citigroup (C +1.64%) also rose.

Treasuries declined following the encouraging update on the labor market. The benchmark 10-year was down 27/32 to yielding 2.41%.

In commodities, NYMEX crude was up 1.4% at $58.83/barrel. COMEX gold slid 0.6% to $1167.80/ounce.

Financial, Energy,and Tech Groups Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.17%) and the Bank Index ($BKX +1.75%) both posted gains and had a positive influence on the major averages, meanwhile the Retail Index ($RLX -0.51%) ended modestly lower. The Networking Index ($NWX +0.44%), Biotechnology Index ($BTK+0.87%) both rose, but the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.07) finished flat. Energy-linked groups had a positive bias as the Oil Services Index ($OSX +1.66%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.58%) traded higher.

Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.34%) ended lower for a 3rd consecutive session. Its met resistance at its 200-day moving average when trying to rebound in May, and it met resistance recently at its 50 DMA line when trying to rebound before slumping further toward prior lows. This argues that very few gold and silver producers' stocks have been doing well in recent weeks. The fact-based investment system requires investors to focus on only buying stocks from leading industry groups (L criteria), and never to speculate on stocks in industry groups which are currently out of favor in the marketplace.

Volume Totals Cooling While Consolidating After Breakout
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Epam Systems Inc (EPAM +$.025 or +0.35% to $71.50) has seen volume totals cooling while stubbornly holding its ground near its 52-week high. That is a sign that few investors have headed for the exit following its recent technical breakout, meanwhile, it remains below its "max buy level.

A big gain on 5/28/15 backed by +117% above average volume as it rallied above its pivot point triggered a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Three pivot points were identified this year thus far, and the most recent was cited on 5/18/15 based on its 4/13/15 high plus 10 cents. Prior highs in the $70 area define initial support. The next important support is defined by its 50-day moving average DMA line ($66.93). Damaging losses leading to violations would raise greater concerns and trigger a technical sell signal.

The high-ranked Computer - Tech Services firm was last shown in this FSU section on 5/15/15 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Consolidating Above Support at Prior Highs and 50-Day Moving Average". Fundamentally it is strong, with a 95 Earnings Per Share Rating, well above the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates.

It reported earnings +33%, +40%, +29%, and +30% in the Jun, Sep, Dec '14 and Mar '15 quarterly comparisons versus the year ago periods, respectively. Sales revenues rose +31%, +38%, +28% and +25% during that span. Its streak of 6 consecutive quarters with earnings above the +25% guideline makes it a solid match concerning the C criteria. Annual earnings growth (A criteria) has been strong. Its Relative Strength rating of 96 is now well above the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates.

It completed Secondary Offerings 8/30/13 and 9/17/13. Its Up/Down Volume ratio of 1.4 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 254 in Dec '13 to 349 Mar '15, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its small supply of only 37.2 million shares (S criteria) in the pubic float can contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
