Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks turned south in the final minutes of trading. The Dow lost 3 points to 18050. The S&P 500 fell 1 point to 2107. The NASDAQ retreated 5 points to 5098. Volume totals were reported mixed, higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and slightly lower on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and by nearly 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 78 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 97 stocks. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and more convincingly on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 5 of the 12 high-ranked companies currently on the Featured Stocks Page.

The Nasdaq Composite Index's solid gain on Monday of +1.48% can be considered a follow-through day on Day 5 of a new rally attempt, confirming a new uptrend. Broad strength has helped the major averages (M criteria) rebound above their respective 50-day moving average (DMA) lines while leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) expanded impressively. 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.

Extended From Prior Base and Perched at High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Acadia Healthcare Inc (ACHC -$0.58 or -0.71% to $80.65) is holding its ground above its "max buy" level and it touched a new all-time high today. Prior highs in the $74-75 area define near-term support to watch above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($73.90). It was last shown in this FSU section on 6/19/15 with an annotated graphs under the headline, "Signs of Demand With Volume-Driven Gain for New Highs". Its strong gain was backed by +97% above average volume as it rallied above the pivot point cited and triggered a technical buy signal.

ACHC has a small supply of only 50.8 million shares (S criteria) in the public float. Leadership in the Medical / Outpatient/Home Care industry group is a reassuring sign (L criteria) as the group has earned an 90 Group Relative Strength Rating. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 364 on Jun '14 to 475 in Jun '15, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It completed a new Public Offering on 5/05/15, and such offerings typically hinder a stock's progress for the short-term, however, the upshot is that the underwriters help companies attract greater interest from the institutional crowd.

It reported earnings increases of +23%, +53%, +59%, and +54% in the Jun, Sep, Dec '14 and Mar '15 quarters, respectively. Having 3 or 4 quarterly comparisons with increases above the +25% minimum guideline satisfied the C criteria. Sales revenues increases during that span were also up +20%, +59%, +55%, and +82%, showing encouraging acceleration. Keep in mind that it is due to report earnings on 7/27/15, and volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. Since tallying a loss in FY '11 its annual earnings (A criteria) have been strong.
