Major Averages Fell With Lighter Volume Totals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks moved lower on Monday. The Dow was off 62 points to 16370. The S&P 500 declined 8 points to 1953. The NASDAQ lost 16 points to 4805. The volume totals were reported lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, revealing a lack of conviction from the institutional crowd. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and an 8-5 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as 14 stocks made it onto the BreakOuts Page, up from 11 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made a new 52-week high on the prior session. There were gains for 2 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 Dow Jones Industrial Average fell on Monday. Its MACD indicator has recently turned bullish. Last 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 retreated ahead of the highly anticipated FOMC meeting later this week. Fed members will decide on Wednesday and Thursday whether or not to raise interest rates for the first time since 2006. As of this morning, 46% of economists surveyed believe the Fed will hike rates while futures show that traders are only pricing in a 25% probability.

Nine of ten sectors in the S&P 500 declined on the day. Materials and energy stocks lagged once again while the utilities sector was the lone gainer.

In corporate news, Apple (AAPL +1.0%) rose after the tech giant announced that iPhone 6 sales are on pace to surpass last year’s record haul. M&A was back in the play as Solera Holdings (SLH +8.5%) rose after receiving a $6.5 billion buyout offer from Vista Equity Partners.

Treasuries lost momentum as the session went on. The benchmark U.S. 10-year note gained 03/32 to yield 2.174% while the 30-year bond only advanced 1/32 to yield 2.95%.

Commodities were mixed. WTI crude slipped 1.2% to $44.10/barrel. COMEX gold was up 4.2% to $1107.50/ounce. In FOREX, the dollar index was little changed as the greenback gained on the Euro but ebbed against the yen.

Semiconductor Index Posted Small Gain While Most Groups Fell
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Retail Index ($RLX -0.36%) and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.86%) both fell on Monday and the Bank Index ($BKX +0.07%) finished flat. The tech sector was mixed as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.30%) inched higher, but the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.08%) and the Networking Index ($NWX -0.17%) both suffered small losses. Commodity-linked groups were the weakest as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.69%) ended lower and the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.91%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -1.19%) both sank.

PICTURED: The Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.08%) rebounded above its 200-day moving average (DMA) line after undercutting its prior lows. It faces near-term resistance at its 50 DMA line.

Found Support Above 50-Day Moving Average
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

A M N Healthcare Svcs (AHS -$0.24 or -0.68% to $34.98) is perched within striking distance of its 52-week high, consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and prior highs defining important near term support. AHS was last shown in this FSU section on 9/04/15 with an annotated graph under the headline, " Finding Support Above 50-Day Average and Prior Highs". Damaging losses would raise greater concerns, especially if slumping to a close back in the prior base.

AHS was highlighted in yellow with new pivot point based on its 7/01/15 high plus 10 cents in the 8/05/15 mid-day report (read here). It reported earnings +80% on +40% sales revenues for the Jun '15 quarter, its 3rd consecutive quarterly comparison with earnings above the 25% minimum guideline (C criteria), helping it better match the fact-based investment system's winning models. Sequentially, its quarterly comparisons have shown encouraging acceleration as earnings rose +35%, +67%, and +81% on the Dec '14, Mar and Jun '15 periods, respectively. Sales revenues rose +12%, +36%, and +40% over that same span.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 282 in Sep '14 to 339 in Jun '15, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.1 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under slight accumulation over the past 50 days. It currently has a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship Rating of B. Its small supply of only 47.7 million shares outstanding (S criteria) can contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
