Major Averages Quietly Ended With Weekly Gains

For the week, the Dow added 1.4%, the S&P 500 climbed 1.3% and the NASDAQ advanced 2.1%. Stocks finished higher on Friday. The Dow rose 102 points to 16433. The S&P 500 advanced 8 points to 1961. The NASDAQ climbed 26 points to 4822. The volume totals were reported lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, revealing a lack of serious buying conviction from the institutional crowd. Breadth was slightly positive as advancers led decliners by an 8-7 margin on the NYSE and a 5-4 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership remained rather elusive while 11 stocks made it onto the BreakOuts Page, up from 8 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made a new 52-week high on the prior session. There were gains for all 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 S&P 500 Index posted a gain on Friday. 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 erased earlier losses to finish higher as investors digested economic data ahead of next week’s Fed meeting. Producer prices, excluding food and energy, climbed 0.3% in August, topping expectations. However, volatility in September spurred a decline in consumer sentiment.

Eight of 10 S&P 500 sectors were in positive territory. Consumer discretionary stocks were outperformers as PulteGroup (PHM +2.20%) and Target (TGT +1.05%) rose. Apple (AAPL +1.46%) reversed course to finish higher, helping lift tech stocks. Commodity producers weighed on the index. In materials, AngloGold (AU -3.15%) fell. Meanwhile, Hess (HES -2.96%) dragged energy lower. In earnings, Restoration Hardware (RH +9.32%) rose after topping estimates, but Marvell Technologies (MRVL -16.21%) retreated on the heels of reporting an internal investigation.

Treasuries rose in advance of the Fed’s interest rate policy meeting. The 10-year note advanced 10/32 to yield 2.19%.

Commodities were mostly lower. WTI crude fell 2.5% to $44.77/barrel on bearish comments from Goldman. COMEX gold finished 0.2% lower to $1106.60/ounce.

Gold & Silver, Biotech, and Retail Indexes Posted Gains

The Retail Index ($RLX +0.67%) was a positive influence on the major averages on Friday. Meanwhile, the Bank Index ($BKX -0.13%) inched lower and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.02%) finished flat. The tech sector was mixed as the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +1.62%) rose, the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.08%) was little changed, and the Networking Index ($NWX -1.44%) fell. Energy-linked groups were weaker as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -2.34%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -1.09%) both fell. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +1.33%) ended higher.
Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Retail Index ($RLX +0.67%) remains just below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. It found prompt support at its 200 DMA line.

Quiet Gain to Finish Above 50 Day Moving Average

B O F I Holding Inc (BOFI +$2.03 or +1.72% to $120.03) rebounded above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line with a gain on below average volume. The finish above the 50 DMA line helped its outlook to improve, however it has not formed a sound base pattern, and it faces resistance up through the $134 level.  It was last shown in this FSU section on 9/02/15 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Damaging Losses Triggered Technical Sell Signal", after violating its 50-day moving average (DMA) line during its streak of damaging volume-driven losses. 

It reported Jun '15 quarterly earnings +41% on +42% sales revenues, above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) again. Earnings rose by +35%, +40%, +41%, +38%, and +35% in the Mar, Jun, Sep, Dec '14, and Mar '15 quarters, respectively, versus the year ago periods. Sales revenues were up +21%, +24%, +39%, +41%, and +41% during that span. Following a downturn in its FY '11 earnings its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong.
 
The number of top-rated funds owning share rose from 261 in Sep '14 to 279 in Jun '15. Leadership from other Finance - Savings & Loan issues has been reassuring concerning the L criteria. It has earned a Timeliness rating of A, and a Sponsorship rating of B. Keep in mind that its small supply of only 13.8 million shares (S criteria) in the public float can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. BOFI was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 3/23/15 high plus 10 cents in the 6/10/15 mid-day report (read
here) while noted - "It clinched a technical buy signal with a gain backed by +55% above average volume on the prior session."
