Major Averages Fell With Higher Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Stocks moved moderately lower on Wednesday. The Dow lost 68 points to 17851. The S&P 500 closed off 5 points to 2114. The NASDAQ declined 36 points to 5171. Volume totals were reported higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by nearly a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and by a narrower 7-6 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 67 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 57 stocks. However, the total number of new 52-week lows expanded and outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 9 of the 12 high-ranked companies currently on the Featured Stocks Page.

The Nasdaq Composite Index and other major averages recently rallied to new highs or near their record highs. Coupling the indices' improvement with an expansion in leadership (stocks hitting new highs), the latest market (M criteria) action has shown investors reassuring proof that the institutional crowd has a healthy appetite for buying stocks.

Disciplined investors know to buy only the strongest stocks meeting all of the key fundamental and technical criteria. New matches with the fact-based investment system's strict guidelines will be added to the Featured Stocks Page as market action dictates.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index is consolidating after a sharp rally from below its 50-day moving average line to new record highs.

The major averages retreated as investors digest a slew of disappointing earnings reports. In positive news, a release showed existing home sales were up 3.2% in June, exceeding analyst expectations of a 0.9% increase. A separate, unconfirmed report suggested lawmakers in the United States are considering overhauling the nation’s tax laws regarding multi-national corporations.

Five of the ten sectors in the S&P 500 finished in positive territory. Tech stocks were the laggard amid disappointing quarterly reports from sector stalwarts. Apple (AAPL -4.23%) fell after its release showed slowing iPhone sales and lowered guidance. Microsoft (MSFT -3.68%) fell after posting a quarterly loss, mostly attributable to the company’s Nokia (NOK -0.89%) purchase. Financials were the best performer, led by Citigroup (C +2.10%). Chipotle (CMG +7.84%) pushed consumer discretionary higher, rallying after a positive report highlighted by lower food costs.

The treasury curve flattened as longer maturity bonds experienced strength. The benchmark U.S. 10-year note was unchanged on the day, currently yielding 2.327%.

Commodities were mostly lower. WTI crude tumbled near bear market territory, down 3.4% to $49.13/barrel on the day. COMEX Gold continued to extend losses, retreating 1.1% to $1091.90/ounce. The dollar index moved 0.2% higher.

Bank Index Rose; Semiconductor Index Suffered a Standout Decline
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Bank Index ($BKX +1.14%) rallied while the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.09%) finished flat and the Retail Index ($RLX +0.35%) edged higher on Wednesday. The Biotechnology Index ($BTK) was unchanged, meanwhile the Networking Index ($NWX -0.64%) edged lower and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -2.52%) was a standout decliner weighing the tech sector down. The Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.72%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.75%) both faced additional pressure, and the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.72%) also fell.

Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Bank Index ($BKX +1.14%) rallied hitting new record highs. The strength from the financial group is a reassuring "leading indicator" which bodes well for the current market rally (M criteria). Longtime readers of this commentary know that the major averages have been prone to their worst downdrafts when financial stocks are weak.

Recent Gains Lacked Volume Conviction; Earnings Report Soon Expected
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Jones Lang Lasalle Inc (JLL +$0.53 or +0.31% to $173.75) has seen its volume totals cooling while consolidating near its all-time high and above support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($171.66). Recent gains above the pivot point lacked the minimum +40% above average volume necessary to trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Keep in mind that it is due to report Jun '15 earnings on 7/29/15, and volume and volatility often increase near earnings news.

It last appeared in this FSU section on 6/29/15 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Did Not Trigger a New Technical Buy Signal", slumping near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line while broader market weakness (M criteria) raised concerns. Prior lows ($166.68 on 6/09/15) define the next important near-term support to watch where violations would raise greater concerns and trigger a technical sell signal.

Very little resistance remains due to overhead supply, however, it has made limited headway since highlighted in yellow in the 2/03/15 mid-day report (read here) and noted - "Has the look of a valid Secondary Buy point up to +5% above prior highs."

Earnings rose +46%, 55%, +29%, and +147% in the Jun, Sep, Dec '14 and Mar '15 quarterly comparisons versus the year ago periods, respectively, above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 513 in Mar '14 to 720 in Jun '15, which is a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its small supply (S criteria) of only 44.4 million shares in the public float contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

Color Codes Explained :
Y - Better candidates highlighted by our staff of experts.
G - Previously featured in past reports as yellow but may no longer be buyable under the guidelines.
