Breadth Positive as Indices Inch Higher With Lighter Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow added 25 points, reversing earlier losses. The S&P 500 capped a third consecutive day of gains with a 0.2% advance. The Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.4% amid strength in mega-cap tech stocks. All three major averages are now within 0.5% of their record closing levels and remain on track for weekly gains. The volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and nearly 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 42 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 44 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted yet still outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices (M criteria) are in an uptrend that has come under pressure. Investors are reminded to always make buying and selling decisions on case-by-case basis under the strict criteria and rules of the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average found prompt support near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. More damaging losses would raise concerns.

U.S. stocks finished higher on Thursday as investors digested a deluge of economic data and corporate earnings results. Six of 11 S&P 500 sectors ended in positive territory, with gains in the Technology and Health Care sectors offsetting losses from the lagging Energy and Financials groups. In earnings, Texas Instruments fell 5.3% with its current-quarter revenue projections disappointing analysts as the global chip shortage hinders the semiconductor manufacturer’s ability to meet pent-up demand. Domino’s Pizza (DPZ +14.55%) powered to a new all-time high after being the subject of positive analyst comments following a top and bottom line beat. In the Industrial space, rail operator CSX Corp. (CSX +3.48%) gapped up above its 50 DMA line after its quarterly earnings more than doubled. American Airlines (AAL -1.12%) and rival Southwest Airlines (LUV -3.46%) both slumped.

Treasuries strengthened, with the yield on the 10-year note down three basis points to 1.26%, holding above Monday’s closing level of 1.19% when rates dropped on growth concerns. On the data front, weekly initial jobless claims unexpectedly increased to 419,000. Separately, the leading index of economic indicators rose for a fourth consecutive month in June (+0.7%). Another release revealed existing home sales rebounded 1.4% in June, increasing for the first time in five months.

Retail Index Rose; Financial, Tech, and Commodity-Linked Groups Fell
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.33%) and Bank Index ($BKX -1.59%) both lost ground while a gain for the Retail Index ($RLX +0.97%) helped offset the negative pressure. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.88%) and Networking Index ($NWX -1.21%) both lost ground while the Biotech Index ($BTK -0.08%) finished flat. Commodity-linked groups had a negative bias as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.77%), Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.98%), and Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.85%) ended unanimously lower.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.33%) remains below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line which has recently acted as resistance.

Churned Heavy Volume While Testing 50-Day Moving Average
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Pool Corp (POOL -$7.17 or -1.57% to $450.52) churned heavy volume today while finding support near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. It reported Jun '21 quarterly earnings +66% on +40% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Recent losses have tested prior highs in the $449-444 range and its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($446) which define important support. More damaging losses would raise concerns and trigger a technical sell signal.

POOL was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 5/10/21 high plus 10 cents in the 6/11/21 mid-day report (read here) and it was shown in more detail with an annotated graph that evening under the headline "Volume-Driven Breakout After Orderly Consolidation". The gain and close above the pivot point was backed +87% above average volume helping clinch a technical buy signal.

It has an Earnings Per Share Rating of 99. The past 4 quarterly comparisons were well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), helping it match the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines.

The high-ranked Retail - Leisure Products firm has seen the number of top-rated funds owning its shares rise from 813 in Jun '20 to 1,418 in Jun '21, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.0 is an unbiased indication its shares have been neutral concerning accumulation/distribution over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness rating of A and Sponsorship Rating of B. Its small supply of only 40.1 million shares outstanding (S criteria) can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
