Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow surged 372 points, posting its best session in at least two months. The S&P 500 added 1.5%, while the Nasdaq Composite was up 2%. Volume totals reported were higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by a 5-2 margin on the NYSE and more than 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 39 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 40 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and outnumbered shrinking new 52-week lows on the NYSE. New highs also expanded on the Nasdaq exchange but they were outnumbered by new lows. The Featured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leaders.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index posted a big +1.95% gain on Day 6 of the rally attempt, and the volume total reported was higher while the number of stocks hitting new highs rose. The follow-through day marked a bullish shift concerning the M criteria of the fact-based investment system, giving investors a green light to make carefully selected new buying efforts.

Stocks finished firmly higher Tuesday, snapping a two-day losing streak amid easing trade tensions. The major averages reversed early session declines amid reports the U.S. will delay the implementation of the proposed September 1st tariffs on Chinese imports. Popular holiday shopping items, such as phones and toys, are set to be excluded until mid-December.

Treasuries declined, with the yield on the 10-year note up five basis points to 1.69%. The spread between two- and 10-year yields touched the narrowest since 2007. On the data front, core consumer prices (excluding food and energy), increased at an annualized pace of 2.2% in July, notching a six-month high. A separate release revealed small business optimism improved last month. In commodities, WTI crude climbed 4% to $57.10/barrel, while COMEX gold erased early session gains to finish 0.2% lower at $1,502.20/ounce.

Technology shares paced gains, with the sector rallying 2.5% following the positive trade rhetoric. Apple (AAPL +4.23%) climbed, while the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index also outperformed, up nearly 3%. The news of potential tariff delays on Chinese goods also provided a tailwind to retailers, with Nike (NKE +2.05%) . In earnings, JD.com (JD +12.89%) rose after topping analyst profit and revenue estimates. In other corporate news, Constellation Brands (STZ +1.80%) rose after announcing the sale of its Canadian whiskey business for $266 million.

Volume Totals Cooling as Bullish Action Continues
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Audiocodes Ltd (AUDC +$0.31 or +1.72% to $18.32) has seen volume totals cooling while consolidating below its "max buy" level and well above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($16.61). Bullish action came after it reported earnings +57% on +14% sales revenues for the Jun '19 quarter, continuing its strong earnings track record for a 10th consecutive quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings growth has been strong and it has a 99 Earnings Per Share Rating.

AUDC was highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 4/24/19 high plus 10 cents in the 7/15/19 mid-day report (read here). This Israel-based designer of advanced voice-over-IP products shown in this FSU section on 7/15/19 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Posted a Gain With Average Volume for Best Ever Close".

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 33 in Mar '18 to 77 in Jun '19, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.6 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of B and Sponsorship Rating of A. The small supply of 22.8 million shares (S criteria) in the public float can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
