Breadth Positive as Nasdaq Hit Another New Record High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished little changed on Tuesday. The Dow rose 24 points to 18144. The S&P 500 gained 1 point to 2124. The NASDAQ advanced 6 points to 5160. The volume totals were slightly lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by nearly a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and by 4-3 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 98 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the BreakOuts Page, down from the prior session total of 135 stocks. The new 52-week highs totals solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 10 of the 15 high-ranked companies currently on the Featured Stocks Page, an encouragingly better positive bias than the broader market.
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 Nasdaq Composite Index hit another new record high. Its MACD indicator recently turned bullish.
The major averages closed marginally higher as investors weighed economic data and Greek debt talks. Economic data in May showed orders for capital and durable goods both failed to meet expectations. While home prices rose less than anticipated in April, new home sales in May topped projections. A preliminary reading on Manufacturing in June fell from April, but remained expansionary.
Five of 10 S&P 500 sectors finished higher with telecom up the most. AT&T (T +2.48%) rose on positive analyst commentary, and Verizon (VZ +0.50%) edged higher on the heels of completing the AOL (AOL) acquisition. In discretionary, Amazon.com (AMZN +2.22%) rose near an all-time high. Financials were lifted by a gain from Bank of America (BAC +1.14%). Tech was a relative underperformer. Blackberry’s (BBRY -4.24%) fell after earnings, and reports of unfavorable rulings pushed NVIDIA (NVDA -2.55%) lower.
Treasuries fell with the 10-year note down 11/32 to yield 2.41%. Amid a $26 billion auction, the two-year security lost 1/32 to yield 0.67%.
Commodities were mixed. WTI crude climbed 1.2% to $61.11/barrel. COMEX gold declined 0.6% to $1176.20/ounce. In FOREX, the dollar gained with the euro off 1.5% to $1.1173/EUR and the yen 0.4% lower to ¥123.91/USD.

Consolidating Near 50-day Average and Just Above Prior Lows
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Nxp Semiconductors N V (NXPI -$1.18 or -1.13% to $103.42) pulled back today with below average volume. It has been quietly consolidating near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line which has recently acted as support. More damaging losses undercutting the 50 DMA line and prior lows ($101.15 on 6/09/15) may raise concerns and trigger worrisome technical sell signals.
NXPI stalled soon after it triggered a technical buy signal with 3 consecutive volume-driven gains into new high territory. It was last shown in this FSU section on 6/01/15 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Quietly Perched at All-Time High Following Volume-Driven Gains", as it touched a new high but reversed into the red for a small loss on light volume.
It has reported earnings +36%, +54%, +59%, +36%, and +38% for the Mar, Jun, Sep, Dec '14, and Mar '15 quarters, respectively, versus the year ago periods. The strong and steady earnings above the +25% minimum guideline satisfy the C criteria. Sales revenues rose +15%, +14%, +21%, +19%, and +18% during that same span of time. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history is a good match the investment system guidelines.
NXPI traded up as much as +49.15% since highlighted in yellow at $76.43 with a pivot point based on its 11/28/14 high plus 10 cents in the 1/05/15 mid-day report (read here). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 683 in Mar '14 to 1,041 in Mar '15, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. The Elec - Semicondctor Fablss group has a high 98 Group Relative Strength Rating and leadership from others in the industry group is a reassuring sign concerning the L criteria. It completed a Secondary Offering on 5/14/14 and earlier Secondary Offerings on 2/04/13, 3/08/13, 9/13/13, and 12/10/13.

Y - Churned above average volume this week while making little progress above April highs, a sign of distributional pressure. Recent lows ($38.00 on 5/06/15) define the next important support where a violation would trigger a technical sell signal.

Y - Gapped up today and hit a new 52-week high, rallying near its "max buy" level with no resistance remaining due to overhead supply. Subsequent losses leading to a close below its old high close ($97.27 on 3/20/15) would raise concerns by completely negating the recent breakout.
