Major Averages Halt Losing Streak With Positive Reversals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The S&P 500 Index, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and the Nasdaq Composite Index overcame deep losses and managed unanimous positive reversals on Wednesday's volatile session. The indices remain below their respective 200-day moving average (DMA) lines after a well-noted and damaging streak of losses. Fans of the fact-based investment system may recognize the major indices below their 200 DMA lines as a worrisome sign of an "unhealthy" market environment (M criteria). Volume totals were reported higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, and the positive finish may be considered Day 1 of a new rally attempt. New 52-week lows solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by nearly 3-2 on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 14 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, down from the prior total of 15 stocks. There were 14 gainers out of the 17 high-ranked leaders currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

Traders may have been ready for some bargain-hunting after extremely nervous early trading pushed the S&P 500 Index to its lowest level of the year. Suggestions the Fed may consider a new round of economic stimulus supposed helped the market respond favorably. The ISM non-manufacturing index, a reading of the services sector, dropped in July to its lowest level since February 2010. Also, ADP Employer Services said U.S. job additions in July were slightly better than analysts expected, but the numbers did not indicate major improvement.

Gold prices hit yet another record high, meanwhile crude oil sank to a 5-week low below $92 per barrel in response to the weak economic data and an increase in U.S. stockpiles. Technology stocks helped lead the market's comeback, while energy stocks lagged. Research in Motion Ltd (RIMM) +4.9%) rallied as the company overhauled the Blackberry and announced three new models. MasterCard (MA +13.4%) spiked to a new high after second quarter profit beat analyst estimates. The strong outlier has an impressive earnings track record and returned to the Featured Stocks list after highlighted in the mid-day report.

The current market correction leaves disciplined investors in a defensive stance, looking toward protecting capital rather than adding more market exposure. A new rally confirmed by a solid follow-through day would be an important reassurance worth waiting for before new buying efforts may be justified.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average managed a positive reversal from deep losses to finish with a small gain on higher volume after 8 consecutive losses undercut its 200 DMA and June lows.

Surge To New Highs Makes Mastercard an Outlier to Watch
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Mastercard Inc Cl A (MA +$39.98 or +13.39% to $338.47) gapped up today and hit a new all-time high after a 4-week consolidation that may be considered a "square box" base. It has been showing sales revenues acceleration and strong quarterly earnings increases, with the latest June 2011 quarter showing a +36% earnings increase on +22% sales revenues. It also has maintained a strong annual earnings (A criteria) history. Its color code was changed to yellow with a pivot point cited based on its prior high plus 10 cents. It held its ground well above prior highs and its 50-day moving average (DMA) line since the considerable 6/29/11 gain on heavy volume after the Federal Reserve set a higher cap on debit-card fees (mentioned in the 6/29/11 Market Commentary - read here). In a handful of mid-day report appearances in June and July of this year it was noted -"It survived but failed to impress since it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 7/02/08 after an ominous 'double top' pattern triggered a technical sell signal." A follow-up article dated 12/16/08 had last revisited MA and summarized the action under the headline, "Multiple Sell Signals Prompted Profit Taking; Serious Damage Followed".

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.

Most Recent Note - 8/2/2011 4:26:48 PM Y - Dipped further below its pivot point today. No resistance remains due to overhead supply after the 7/25/11 "breakaway gap" triggered a technical buy signal, but any subsequent close below its old high close ($152.37 on 4/16/11) would completely negate the breakout and raise more concerns. Weak market (M criteria) environment is currently a concern, since 3 out of 4 stocks tend to go in the direction of the major averages. >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 7/28/2011.
