Breadth Negative and Volume Totals Higher as Major Averages Ended Mixed
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major averages were mixed and little changed on Wednesday after spending most of the session in the red. Volume totals were reported higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was clearly negative as decliners led advancers by a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and by 3-2 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 76 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, down from the prior session total of 81 stocks. The list of stocks hitting new 52-week highs easily outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 6 of the 12 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average gave up 25 points to 15,542 after being down by as many as 70 points earlier. Stocks traded in a narrow range throughout the session as investors digested a batch of corporate earnings and several global economic reports. On our shores, economic data was largely positive with July manufacturing and June new home sales topping expectations.

Nine of the 10 sectors on the S&P ended lower, led by declines in utility stocks including Duke Energy (DUK -1.14%). Tech stocks were the best performing group. Apple Inc (AAPL +5.14%) rallied after the company posted better-than-expected quarterly earnings and sales. On the downside, Caterpillar inc (CAT -2.43%) fell after falling short of analysts' estimates and lowering their full-year earnings guidance.

Turning to fixed income markets, Treasuries were lower along the curve. The benchmark 10-year note was down 21/32 to yield 2.59% and the 30-year bond gave up over a full point to yield 3.64%.

The market (M criteria) has flashed substantial strength and leadership. Now in a confirmed rally, odds are considered favorable for investors' success with new buying efforts. Investors should be disciplined and selective while looking to be proactive and focused exclusively on the individual leaders best matching the winning models of the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index is consolidating above prior highs and ended the session up +18.5% year-to-date.

Medical Groups Edged Higher; XAU Led Decliners
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.56%) and the Healthcare Index ($HMO +0.44%) eked out small gains on Wednesday's mostly negative session. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -4.52%) was a standout decliner as it was smacked with a large loss. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.83%) was hit hard and led the tech sector lower, meanwhile the Networking Index ($NWX -0.43%) and the Internet Index ($IIX -0.33%) each edged lower. Energy-related shares cooled as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.27%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.88%) both fell. The Retail Index ($RLX -0.43%) created a drag on the major averages and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.15%) finished the session slightly in the red.

Faltering Near 50-day Moving Average While Relative Strength Wanes
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Stratasys Inc (SSYS -$1.02 or -1.16% to $86.67) finished the session -10.1% off its 52-week high as it slumped near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line with a loss on light volume. That is an important support level recognized by chart readers. More damaging losses would raise concerns and trigger technical sell signals. It failed to make headway above the previously stubborn resistance in the $94 area since last shown in this FSU section on 7/08/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Finished Lower Following 'Negative Reversal' After Challenging High". Members were cautioned - "After challenging its prior high it ended near the session low with a loss on higher volume - action which is technically termed a "negative reversal". When poised for a best-ever close, and while the broader market showed mostly positive action, the weak finish was a clear sign that it was encountering distributional pressure. Disciplined investors will watch for a proper technical breakout and more reassuring from the broader market (M criteria) before considering new buying efforts."

In the interim, more encouraging positive action in the major averages (M criteria) has helped reassure investors that odds are favorable for new buying efforts. However, the stock's Relative Strength Rating has slumped to 77, below the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates under the fact-based investment system.

Its strong quarterly earnings history above the +25% minimum guideline satisfies the C criteria. Reported earnings +54% on +116% sales revenues for the Mar '13 quarter versus the year ago period. The company will release financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 before the market open on Thursday, August 8, 2013. Price volume action leading into the next earnings release may likely give investors a hint as to its earnings outlook, and certainly its reaction to earnings news will be closely watched. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news.

SSYS was highlighted in yellow in the 7/08/13 mid-day report with a pivot point cited based on its 5/14/13 high plus 10 cents (read here). Volume-driven gains had it rallying toward multi-month resistance in the $92-94 area with little resistance due to overhead supply. Following its negative reversal on 7/08/13 it surged higher with heavier volume while challenging its pivot point. Its best close was on 7/15/13, and although it ended that session above its pivot point the volume on that session was below average and not sufficient to trigger a proper technical buy signal. Keep in mind that a volume-driven breakout is a critical sign of the heavy institutional buying demand which can lead to a sustained and meaningful advance in price. It didn't flash that sign of buying demand, but it was then smacked again for a loss with heavy volume on 7/16/13, and its subsequent gains lacked volume conviction.

A downturn in its FY '09 earnings was previously noted as a flaw with respect to the investment system's A criteria. It found support near its 200 DMA line during a deep consolidation earlier this year. Ownership by top-rated funds rose from 246 in Sep '12 to 286 in Jun '13, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It is an interesting turn around story with a small supply of 36.7 million shares (S criteria) outstanding. Longtime members may recall that SSYS was long ago (2003) featured in reports.
