Volume Totals Reveal Less Conviction as Major Averages Post Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks rose on Tuesday’s session. The Dow was up 113 points to 17904. The S&P 500 gained 12 points to 2096. The NASDAQ Composite was 26 points higher at 5055. Volume totals were lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, a sign of less potent institutional buying demand. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by nearly a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and 4-3 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 55 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 35 stocks. New 52-week highs still outnumbered new 52-week lows on the Nasdaq exchange, but new lows again outnumbered new highs on the NYSE. There were gains for 12 of the 15 high-ranked companies currently on the Featured Stocks Page. Healthy leadership (many stocks hitting new 52-week highs) remains a reassuring sign 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 Dow Jones Industrial Average recently slumped after meeting resistance at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. It posted a gain with lighter volume while consolidating above its 200 DMA line and above prior lows.
The major averages snapped a two-day decline even as concerns remain over Greece securing a debt deal with its creditors. Investors were also focused on the Fed as it began its two-day policy meeting. On the economic front, readings on the real estate market were mixed. Housing starts unexpectedly fell 11.1% in May, more than the consensus estimate for a 4% decline. Building permits grew a surprising 11.8% last month versus projection to decrease 3.5%.
All 10 sectors in the S&P were up on the session. Consumer staples and energy contributed the most to the advance. Procter & Gamble (PG +1.25%) rose on reports the company is close to selling its beauty products businesses to fragrance maker Coty. Shares of Coty (COTY +19.3%) rallied on the news. Exxon (XOM +1.2%) as oil rebounded from a three-day retreat. Health care was up with Aetna (AET +4%) higher amid merger speculation. Industrials performance was muted as United Rentals (URI -2.6%) and American Airlines (AAL -1.5%) fell.
Treasuries were higher with the 10-year note up 12/32 to yield 2.31%. In commodities, NYMEX crude rose 0.8% to $60.01/barrel. COMEX gold slipped 0.4% to $1180.50/ounce.

Retail, Financial, Tech,and Energy Groups Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Retail Index ($RLX +0.56%) and financials had a positive influence on the major averages while the Bank Index ($BKX +0.55%) and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.60%) finished Tuesday's session modestly higher. The Biotechnology Index ($BTK+0.75%), Networking Index ($NWX +0.55%), and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.34%) were unanimously higher. Energy-related shares also had a positive bias as the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.43%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.61%) posted gains, meanwhile, the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.43%) was a laggard as it lost ground.
Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.61%) remains trading below its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines.This argues that very few energy-related 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.

Latest Consolidation is Not a Sufficient Length Bade
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. (VRX -$1.86 or -0.81% to $228.70) is consolidating well above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($221.62) which defines near term support. It has not formed a sound base. It was last shown in this FSU section on 5/22/15 with annotated daily and weekly graphs under the headline, "Very Extended Following 7 Consecutive Gains".
There is good leadership (L criteria) in the Medical - Ethical Drugs group. VRX reported earnings +34% on +16% sales revenues for the Mar '15 quarter, an improvement after Dec '14 earnings below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Prior quarterly comparisons were routinely above that minimum threshold.
It completed an new Public Offerings 3/17/15 and 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. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,056 in Mar '14 to 1,265 in Mar '15, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.5 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. A downturn in FY '07 and '08 earnings (A criteria) was followed by a strong earnings rebound in recent years.

Y - It was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 3/23/15 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report.

Y - Hitting new highs with today's gain above its pivot point and no resistance remains due to overhead supply. Highlighted in yellow with new pivot point in the 6/08/15 mid-day report (read here). Gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. Disciplined investors use a tactic called pyramiding which the fact-based system suggests to help investors to allow the market action to dictate their purchase decisions.

Most Recent Note - 6/10/2015 5:59:07 PM
G - Managed a best-ever close today with a gain on near average volume. It is very extended from any sound base. Prior highs in the $158 area define initial support above its 50 DMA line where subsequent violations would raise concerns and trigger technical sell signals.
