Major Averages Rose Following Encouraging Economic Data
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks advanced on Thursday. The Dow was up 76 points to 16330. The S&P 500 gained 10 points to 1952. The NASDAQ finished 39 points higher to 4796, The volume totals were reported mixed, higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and lower on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by an 8-7 margin on the NYSE and 4-3 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership was more elusive as only 8 stocks made it onto the BreakOuts Page, down from 19 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made a new 52-week high on the prior session. There were gains for 3 of the 5 high-ranked companies currently on the Featured Stocks Page. The total number of new 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange.
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index posted a gain on Thursday. Its MACD indicator has turned bullish. Tuesday's follow-through day marked the beginning of a new "confirmed rally". Repeatedly, members have been reminded that at least 2 of the 3 major indices should be trading above their respective 200-day moving average (DMA) lines in order for a market environment to be considered technically "healthy". A lot of recovery work must be done to get the indices back into healthy shape, and that improvement could require some considerable time and patience.
New buying efforts may only be considered in stocks meeting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system. Disciplined investors always limit losses by selling any stock that falls more than -7% from their purchase price.
The major averages experienced mild gains as investors digested economic data. Jobless claims last week fell 6,000 to 275,000. In August, import prices declined 1.8%, topping expectations of a 1.6% drop.
Nine of ten S&P 500 sectors finished in positive territory. Tech and healthcare were the relative outperformers. Apple (AAPL +2.20%) rebounded and QUALCOMM (QCOM +1.86%) rose in sympathy. Health care also rebounded as Gilead (GILD +3.30%) posted a solid gain. The zeal to deal returned as XPO Logistics (XPO -11.03%) fell after agreeing to buy Con-Way (CNW +33.80%) for $3 billion. In the energy patch, higher oil prices helped Exxon (XOM +0.72%) climb. In earnings, Palo Alto Networks (PANW +7.40%) rebounded above its 50-day moving average line following a positive report, but lackluster results pushed Krispy Kreme (KKD -11.73%) lower.
Treasuries extended losses after a $13 billion 30-year treasury auction. The benchmark 10-year note lost 7/32 to yield 2.22% while the 30-year bond fell 18/32 to yield 2.99%.
Commodities advanced. Higher oil inventory reports were overshadowed by production cut expectations, helping NYMEX WTI oil climb 3.5% to $45.68 per barrel. COMEX gold was up 0.7% to $1109.80 per ounce. In FOREX, the U.S. dollar ebbed against the euro.

Retail, Financial, Tech, and Energy-Linked Groups Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Retail Index ($RLX +0.35%) and financial shares were positive influences on the major averages as the Bank Index ($BKX +0.65%) and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.14%) rose on Thursday. The tech sector saw unanimous gains from the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +1.49%), Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.41%), and the Networking Index ($NWX +0.32%). Energy-linked groups were positive as the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.71%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.68%) posted gains. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.10%) ended slightly lower.
PICTURED: The Networking Index ($NWX +0.32%) remains below its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines, while recently rebounding after undercutting prior 2015 lows.

Rebound Near 50-Day Moving Average Following Deep Shakeout
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Ulta Salon Cosmetics & Fragrance, Inc. (ULTA +$1.43 or +0.88% to $164.83) is trading near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line following an impressive rebound indicative of institutional support. That important short-term average has acted as resistance after a deep shakeout below its 200 DMA line. It has not formed a sound base pattern. It also reported earnings +22% on +19^ sales revenues for the Jul '15 quarter, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), raising fundamental concerns.
ULTA was last shown with an annotated graph in this FSU section on 9/01/15 under the headline, "Needs Rebound Above 50-Day Average For Outlook to Improve". It found prompt support after undercutting its 200-day moving average (DMA) line on 8/24/15 amid broad market (M criteria) weakness. It had tallied a gain on 8/18/15 with solid +54% above average volume, but it stalled immediately afterward and soon triggered technical sell signals. It made limited headway since highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 4/24/15 high plus 10 cents in the 5/29/15 mid-day report (read here).
It reported earnings +34%, +26%, +22%, and +35% in the Jul '14, Oct '14, Jan '15 and Apr '15 quarterly comparisons, respectively. Its strong earnings have been underpinned by steady sales revenues increases in the +21-22% range during that span of time. Its solid annual earnings (A criteria) history is very reassuring. It has a small supply (S criteria) of only 62.7 million shares in the public float. The number of top-rated funds with an ownership interest has grown from 566 funds in Jun '14 to 807 funds as of Jun '15, which is a very encouraging sign of increasing institutional interest (the I criteria).
