Major Averages Rose Again With Lighter Volume Totals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks rose on Monday's session. The Dow was up 16 points to 16,569. The S&P 500 added 5 points to close at 1,936. The NASDAQ climbed 30 points to 4,401. Volume totals were lower on both major exchanges, however, revealing a lack of institutional buying demand. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by nearly a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 26 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, doubling the prior session total of 13 stocks. New 52-week highs made a meaningful improvement and outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 10 of the 11 of the high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page. The market (M criteria) deterioration recently earned the label of a "correction" as the technical damage became significant to chart readers and leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) waned. 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 1: The Dow Jones Industrial Average halted its slide at its 200-day moving average (DMA) line. Monday's gain marked Day 2 of a new rally attempt. Confirming gains are needed for the market outlook to turn favorable for any new buying efforts, meanwhile it is an ideal time to keep worthy buy candidates on your watchlist.
The major averages finished higher attributed to easing geopolitical concerns. U.S. equities advanced after Russian President Putin said the country is coordinating with the Red Cross to provide humanitarian aid to Ukraine. Investors also appeared cautiously optimistic that airstrikes against Islamist militants in Iraq and negotiations between Israel and Palestine will stem conflicts in the Middle East.
It was quiet on the data front with no scheduled economic releases today. Among earnings, Sysco (SYY +3.2%) after posting in-line quarterly results. Priceline (PCLN +2.2%) rose as bookings in the most recent period topped projections. Dean Foods (DF-3.9%) as the milk producer's profits missed estimates. In other news, Kinder Morgan (KMI +9%) rose after announcing it would consolidate its energy businesses in a deal valued at $70 billion.
Consumer staples were the best performing sector in the S&P 500 as Pepsi (PEP +1.7%) paced the group's advance. Utilities were down the most on the session as Southern Company (SO -1.1%) fell.
Treasuries were little changed. The benchmark 10-year note was flat to yield 2.42%.
PICTURED 2: The Nasdaq Composite Index's gain helped it rebound above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line, helping the tech-heavy index's technical stance improve.

Building on New Base Pattern Above 50-Day Average
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Palo Alto Networks (PANW +$1.73 or +2.16% to $81.92) is perched within close striking distance of its 52-week high. Subsequent volume-driven gains to new high (N criteria) territory may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Its 50 DMA line ($78.98) and recent low ($76.86 on 8/01/14) define important near-term support where subsequent violations would raise serious concerns and trigger technical sell signals.
The high-ranked leader hailing from the Computer Software - Security industry group has been building a base-on-base pattern since last shown in this FSU section with annotated graphs on 7/22/14 under the headline, "Found Support Above 50-Day Average Near Prior Highs". The Group Relative Strength rating is currently a mediocre 57, however leadership from other stocks in the group is reassuring concerning the L criteria). PANW was first highlighted in yellow at $75.95 with pivot point cited based on its 4/22/14 high in the 5/29/14 mid-day report (read here). Strong sales revenues increases and earnings through the Apr '14 quarter above the +25% minimum guideline satisfy the C criteria. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history is a bit limited, but growth has been strong since its July 2012 IPO at $42. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 246 in Jun '13 to 424 in Jun '14, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its small supply (S criteria) of only 50.9 million shares in the public float is another favorable characteristic.
