Major Averages Rose Again With Lighter Volume Totals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major averages continued their winning ways on Tuesday. Volume totals were lighter on both major exchanges. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by nearly a 2-1 margin on the NYSE but by a narrower 7-6 margin on the NASDAQ exchange. Leadership expanded as there were 68 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 56 stocks. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 5 of the 11 of the high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page. The improved action in the broader market (M criteria) has been considered significant enough to shift back to a "confirmed uptrend" while leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) has remained healthy. Remember that disciplined investors buy stocks with superior fundamentals only after they have triggered a proper technical buy signal.
 PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index moved closer toward its all-time high as it gained 9 points to 1,981.
The NASDAQ increased 19 points to 4,527. Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 80 points to 16,919. Stocks advanced thanks to better-than-expected economic data. Housing starts unexpectedly jumped to an eight-month high in July while a separate report showed building permits increased the most since last April. As a result, homebuilders staged a rally for a second day. Toll Brothers (TOL +2.23%) and PulteGroup (PHM +1.49%). Other data revealed consumer prices rose at the slowest pace in five months.
Nine of the 10 sectors in the S&P 500 advanced. Utilities and energy were among the best performing groups as Dominion Resources (D +1.32%) and Chevron (CVX +1.05%) rose. Gains in consumer discretionary also helped lift the market amid some positive retailer profit tallies. Home Depot (HD +5.55%) and TJX Cos. (TJX +8.65%) rose after both companies posted second-quarter earnings results above analyst estimates. In tech, Apple (AAPL +1.38%) rose above $100 for the first time since its stock split as the iPhone maker advanced.
Treasuries erased early gains and finished lower. The 10-year note declined 2/32 to yield 2.40%. The 30-year bond fell 9/32 to yield 3.21%.

Retail, Tech, and Energy-Related Groups Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Retail Index ($RLX +1.89%) was a influential group gainer and the Networking Index ($NWX +1.18%) led the tech sector higher while the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.64%) and the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.43%) posted smaller gains. The Bank Index ($BKX +0.06%) finished flat and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.45%) lost ground creating a slight drag on the major averages. Commodity-linked groups were mixed as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.85%) fell while the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.93%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.97%) both rose.
Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The Bank Index ($BKX +0.06%) is rebounding toward its 50-day moving average (DMA) line after finding support near its 200 DMA line.

Encountered Distributional Peressure Near Prior High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
YY Inc (YY -$2.02 or -2.28% to $86.62) was highlighted in yellow with a new pivot point cited based on its 3/06/14 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). The Chinese Internet - Content firm reversed into the red today after again challenging its 52-week high, a sign it was encountering distributional pressure near its prior highs. Subsequent volume-driven gains for new highs may trigger a new technical buy signal. There is no advantage to be gained by getting in "early" before fresh proof of heavy institutional buying demand, so patience and proper discipline are paramount.
Fundamentals through the Jun '14 quarter remain very strong. The Internet - Content firm reported earnings +100% on +103% sales revenues for the Jun '14 quarter, and its great record of strong earnings and sales revenues increases in quarterly comparisons satisfies the C criteria. Its limited annual earnings (A criteria) history is a concern and it is up considerably from its $11 IPO on 11/21/12. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 58 in Sep '13 to 163 in Jun '14, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.
It rebounded after a deep consolidation since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 1/27/14 amid widespread weakness in China-related companies. It was last shown in this FSU section on 1/03/14 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Finished Strong With High Volume After Featured in Mid-Day Report". Disciplined investors avoid chasing extended stocks more than +5% above prior highs and always limit losses by selling if any stock falls more than -7% from their purchase price.

G - Reversed into the red today after hitting yet another new 52-week high following 9 consecutive gains. Has the look of a "climax run" after getting very extended from its prior base. Its 50 DMA line ($54.30) defines important near-term support to watch on pullbacks.

G - Its 50 DMA line acted as a resistance level. Subsequent gains above that important short-term average are needed to help its technical stance improve. Reported earnings +37% on +21% sales revenues for the Jun '14 quarter, an improvement after 2 sub par quarterly earnings comparisons.
