Gains Came With Lighter Volume Totals on Exchanges
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished higher in a volatile trading session on Monday. The volume totals were lighter than the prior session volume totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 11 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from the prior session total of 6 stocks. A healthy level of leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) is necessary for any sustained rally. New 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains from 8 of the 12 of the high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page. The market (M criteria) deterioration appeared to earn the label of a "correction" last week as the technical damage became significant to chart readers, however, the newspaper's experts have described it thus far as an "uptrend under pressure". Disciplined investors limit losses and reduce market exposure during rough market periods by selling any stocks which fall more than -7% from their purchase price.
PICTURED: The NASDAQ was up 31 points to 4,383, halting its slide at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line after undercutting prior lows.
The major averages advanced following their worst week since 2012. Dow rose 75 points to 16,569. The S&P 500 increased 13 points to 1,938. Reduced fears of a debt crisis in Portugal helped stocks recover after the country handed its largest bank a $6.6 billion bailout. Nine of the 10 S&P 500 sectors gained ground. Energy and consumer discretionary were two of the best performing groups. Anadarko Petroleum (APC +4.84%) rallied on news of an agreement to remove anti-fracking initiates from a voting ballot in Colorado.
Among consumer stocks, Amazon (AMZN +2.15%) jumped while Disney (DIS +2.18%). Financials also helped lift the market. Berkshire Hathaway's class B shares (BRKB +3.09%) rose after the company posted a second-quarter profit that beat analyst estimates. Shares of AIG (AIG +1.17%) edged higher before the insurer reported earnings results after the closing bell. The more defensive utilities sector retreated. Duke Energy (DUK -1.01%) and American Electric Power (AEP -1.74%) declined.
Treasuries finished mixed. The 10-year note rose 1/32 to yield 2.49%. The 30-year bond declined 8/32 to yield 3.29%.

Retail, Tech, Financial and Energy-Linked Groups Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Energy-related shares had a positive bias as the Oil Services Index ($OSX +1.62%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +1.75%) were among the standout group gainers. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.19%) lost ground and was a clear laggard. The Retail Index ($RLX +1.30%) was a positive influence on the major averages and the financial groups had a slightly positive bias as the Bank Index ($BKX +0.32%) and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.59%) both edged higher. The tech sector saw modest gains from the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.41%), Networking Index ($NWX +0.77%), and the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.95%).

Damaging Gap Down Hurt Technical Stance
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Buffalo Wild Wings Inc (BWLD -$0.67 or -0.46% to $145.59) recently gapped down for a damaging loss on heavy volume, violating its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and triggering a technical sell signal. It has been trading near its 200 DMA line which may act as support, but overhead supply is likely to hinder any upward price progress for the near term. It will be dropped from the Featured Stocks list tonight. It reported earnings +42% on +20% sales revenues for the Jun '14 quarter, satisfying the C criteria. Its Relative Strength rating has slumped to 71, well below the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates. It was last shown in this FSU section on 7/14/14 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Slump Into Prior Base Negated Recent Breakout", as it encountered distributional pressure.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 333 in Sep '13 to 410 in Jun '14, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Prior reports cautioned members - "Its small supply of only 18.9 million shares (S criteria) outstanding can contribute to great price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling."

Y - Pulling back from its 52-week high with a loss today on below average volume. Color code was changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 6/30/14 high plus 10 cents while building on a short flat base. Subsequent volume-driven gains to new high territory may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Its 50 DMA line and prior highs define important support where subsequent violations would raise serious concerns and trigger technical sell signals.
