Breadth Positive and Volume Totals Higher Behind Indices' Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major averages posted unanimous gains again on Tuesday. The volume totals were higher on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, a sign of increased institutional buying demand. Advancers led decliners by nearly a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and on the NASDAQ exchange. 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, matching the prior session total of 68 stocks. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 9 of the 12 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 Dow Jones Industrial Average hit another new all-time high.
The major averages advanced for a second straight day following a round of encouraging economic data. Durable goods orders jumped 22.6% in July due to a sharp increase in commercial aircraft bookings. Consumer confidence rose to its best level in seven years. The pace of home price increases slowed to an 8.1% annualized rate in June.
In M&A news, Tim Hortons Inc (THI +8.47%) rose again after Burger King Worldwide (BKW -4.32%) agreed to buy the Canadian donut shop for $11.4 billion. On the earnings front, DSW (DSW +9.24%) advanced after the shoe retailer's quarterly results topped estimates and raised its full-year guidance. Best Buy (BBY -6.85%) fell as sales missed analyst projections.
Energy was the best performing sector in the S&P 500. Exxon (XOM +0.9%) rose as the price of crude oil rebounded from a seven month low. Utilities were down the most on the session. Exelon (EXC -1.58%) declined.
Treasuries were little changed. The 10-year note slipped 4/32 to yield 2.40%. In commodity trading, gold futures were up +0.5% to $1,283.80 an ounce. The October contract for West Texas Intermediate crude gained +0.5% to $93.84 a barrel.

Holding Ground Near All-Time Highs Despite Fundamental Concerns
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Under Armour Inc (UA +$0.37 or +0.54% to $69.22) is stubbornly holding its ground near its all-time high and no resistance remains due to overhead supply. Fundamental concerns were recently raised as the Apparel - Clothing Manufacturing firm reported earnings +0% on +34% sales revenues for the Jun '14 quarter, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), yet the company raised its guidance. It was last shown in this FSU section on 7/30/14 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Bullish Action Despite Latest Earnings Below +25% Minimum Guideline".
It has been stubbornly holding its ground at its 52-week high following a considerable "breakaway gap" on 7/24/14 with more than 4 times average volume. A breakaway gap is the one noted exception where investors may chase a stock more than +5% above prior highs, but the risks increase the further above prior highs one buys that an ordinary pullback may prompt investors into selling based on the fact-based investment system's rule of always selling if any stock falls more than -7% from the purchase price. However, fundamental concerns were raised by its sub par earnings growth in the most current quarter.
UA was highlighted in yellow with pivot point based on its 7/01/14 high in the 7/10/14 mid-day report (read here). Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 637 in Dec '13 to 7565 in Jun '14, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.5 is an unbiased indication that its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
