Major Indices Posted Small Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
For the second quarter, the Dow tumbled 0.9%, the S&P 500 declined 0.2% and the NASDAQ gained 1.8%. For the month, the Dow and S&P 500 lost 2.1% while the NASDAQ was down 1.6%. Stocks were moderately higher on Tuesday. The Dow gained 23 points to 17619, the S&P 500 climbed 5 points to 2063 and the NASDAQ advanced 28 points to 4986. The volume totals were mixed, higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and slightly lower on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership waned as there were 18 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 20 stocks. New 52-week lows solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE. There were gains for 14 of the 16 high-ranked companies currently on the Featured Stocks Page. Monday's damaging action prompted greater caution! Technical weakness in the major averages (M criteria) earned the label of a "correction" as the Nasdaq Composite Index violated its 50-day moving average (DMA) line, joining the Dow and S&P 500 Index, both of which already had recently slumped below their respective 50 DMA lines. Investors should closely watch individual issues and be ready on a case-by-case basis to sell any stocks triggering technical sell signals. This is precisely how the fact-based investment system encourages investors to reduce exposure during uncooperative markets. Keep a watch list of the strongest stocks meeting all of the key fundamental and technical criteria while waiting for the market to eventually produce a new confirmed rally. ![]() 
PICTURED: The Dow slumped below its 200 DMA line on the prior session.
The major averages finished June on a positive note as investors monitored
the ever-changing Greek debt negotiations. News out of Europe was more
optimistic, as the embattled Greek government asked creditors for a last minute
bailout extension. On the domestic front, a release showed housing prices rose
by less than expected in April. A separate report showed consumer confidence for
June was better than anticipated.
Seven out of ten sectors in the S&P 500 finished higher. Energy was the
best performer while telecom stocks lagged. Phillips 66 (+2.6%) rode higher oil prices for a gain. AT&T (T -0.7%) declined to lead the
losses in telecom. In corporate news, Juno Therapeutics (JUNO +15.2%) surged
after striking a partnership deal with Celgene (CELG ). Sony (SNE -6.4%) fell
after the company announced $4 billion in new shares to finance R&D.
Treasuries gave back some of Monday’s gains, with the benchmark 10-year
note falling 8/32 to yield 2.353%.
Commodities were mixed. WTI crude advanced 1.8% to $59.38/barrel. COMEX gold
declined 0.6% to $1171.80/ounce.

50 DMA Line Defines Support
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Epam Systems Inc (EPAM +$1.65 or +2.37% to $71.23) is consolidating above its 50 DMA line. Subsequent damaging losses leading to a 50 DMA line violation would raise greater concerns and trigger technical sell signals.
The high-ranked Computer - Tech Services firm was last shown in this FSU section on 6/05/15 with annotated graphs under the headline, "
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. The next important support is defined by its 50-day moving average DMA line. Damaging losses leading to violations would raise greater concerns and trigger a technical sell signal. 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. 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.

Y - Pulling back near prior highs in the $41 area after wedging to new highs with gains last week lacking the great volume conviction indicative of serious institutional buying demand. Recent lows ($38.00 on 5/06/15) define the next important support where a violation would trigger a technical sell signal.

G - Loss on 2 times average volume indicated distributional pressure behind today's 5th consecutive loss. Extended from any sound base. Its 50 DMA line ($163.04) defines support where a violation would trigger a technical sell signal. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.

G - Violated its 50 DMA line and prior highs in the $30 area today with a 2nd consecutive volume-driven loss and its color code is changed to green. Disciplined investors waited and did not see the volume-driven gains for new highs that it needed to trigger a technical buy signal.
