Indices Rallied With Greater Leadership and Volume Conviction
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Stocks finished higher on Monday. The Dow rose 217 points to 17977. The S&P 500 gained 22 points to 2099. The NASDAQ advanced 73 points to 5071. Advancers led decliners by an 11-4 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership expanded impressively as there were 108 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 37 stocks. New 52-week highs swelled and outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 10 of the 12 high-ranked companies currently on the Featured Stocks Page.

The Nasdaq Composite Index's solid gain of +1.48% can be considered a follow-through day on Day 5 of a new rally attempt, confirming a new uptrend. Broad strength helped the major averages (M criteria) rebound to and above their respective 50-day moving average (DMA) lines while leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) expanded impressively during Monday's session. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 Index both found prompt support near their respective 200 DMA lines, a reassuring sign that the institutional crowd still has an appetite for buying stocks.

Disciplined investors may now stand ready to buy only the strongest stocks meeting all of the key fundamental and technical criteria. New matches with the fact-based investment system will be added to the Featured Stocks Page as market action dictates.

Widespread Gains Boosted All Groups
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Gains from the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.88%), Bank Index ($BKX +1.15%), and the Retail Index ($RLX +1.77%) collectively had a positive influence on the major averages on Monday. The Oil Services Index ($OSX +1.11%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.55%) also rose. The Biotechnology Index ($BTK +1.18%), Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.77%), and the Networking Index ($NWX +0.68%) posted unanimous gains.

Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.81%) also ended higher, but a streak of losses recently sent it to new 2015 lows. Year-to-date it is -13.52% while sputtering in the red and clearly lagging. This argues that very few gold and silver mining-related stocks have been doing well in recent months. Meanwhile, as the table below shows, the best gains thus far into 2015 have come from the Biotech (+22.83%), Retail Index (+14.02%), and Broker/Dealer (+8.35%) indexes. 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.

Sputtering After Damaging 50-Day Moving Average Violation
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Apogee Enterprises (APOG +$0.67 or +1.29% to $52.50) is still quietly sputtering below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($54.89). A rebound above the 50 DMA line is needed to help its outlook improve. Subsequent damaging losses below recent low ($50.07 on 7/07/15) would raise greater concerns.

APOG wedged higher with gains lacking great volume conviction then it encountered damaging distributional pressure since last shown in this FSU section on 6/12/15 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Extended From Prior Base and Perched at High".

APOG traded up and much as +23.1% and is still up +5.4% since highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 2/26/15 high plus 10 cents in the 4/09/15 mid-day report (read here). By comparison, the benchmark S&P 500 Index is virtually unchanged over that same timespan.

Quarterly earnings rose +80%, 50%, +67%, +42%, 74%, and +95% in the Feb, May, Aug, Nov '14, Feb and May '15 quarterly comparisons, respectively, consistently well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) in the 5 latest quarterly comparisons. Following a downturn and losses for FY '11 it has been showing better annual earnings (A criteria) growth. The Bldg- Constr Prds/Misc group has shown leadership (L criteria) and has a 89 Group Relative Strength Rating.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 272 in Jun '14 to 345 in Jun '15, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. But its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.7 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under distributional pressure over the past 50 days. Its small supply of only 28.1 million shares (S criteria) in the publicly traded flat can contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
