Indices Rose With Mixed Breadth and Less Leadership
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks extended their winning streak Tuesday. The Dow rose for a sixth straight session, gaining 39 points to a record 22370. The S&P 500 added 3 points to an all-time high at 2506. The Nasdaq Composite increased 7 points to 6461. Volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was mixed, with a slightly positive bias on the NYSE, but decliners edged out advancing issues on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 72 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 84 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE. The Featured Stocks Page provides the latest analysis on noteworthy high-ranked leaders. Charts used courtesy of www.stockcharts.com
 PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index is perched at a record high after tallying gains in 6 of the past 7 sessions.
The major averages' (M criteria) uptrend endured recent pressure however leadership has remained healthy. Investors should buy stocks meeting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system on a case-by-case basis as they trigger technical buy signals.
The major averages advanced as the Fed convened its policy meeting. While expectations are for no change in interest rates, investors are anticipating the central bank will announce plans to start unwinding its $4.5 trillion balance sheet. Geopolitical tension was a focus as President Trump went before the UN to rally support for harsher sanctions against North Korea. Also garnering attention was Hurricane Maria approaching the Caribbean and a 7.1 magnitude earthquake hitting Southern Mexico. On the economic front, import prices rose 0.6% in August versus a projected 0.2% increase. Housing starts unexpectedly fell 0.8% while building permits rose 5.7% last month.
Telecom was the best performing sector on the session. Sprint (S +6.77%) and T-Mobile (TMUS +5.86%) both rallied on reports the two resumed merger talks. American Tower (AMT -2.62%) fell on the news. Post Holdings (POST +0.6%) edged higher after the cereal maker agreed to buy Bob Evans (BOBE +6.14%) for $1.5 billion. AutoZone (AZO -5.01%) fell despite posting positive quarterly results.
Treasuries were lower with the 10-year off 4/32 to yield 2.24%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude lost 0.6% to $49.59/barrel. COMEX gold was up 0.3% to $1311.00/ounce. |

Financial Indexes Underpinned Major Indices' Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
On Tuesday the Retail Index ($RLX -0.46%) again edged lower while the Bank Index ($BKX +0.88%) and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.53%) both posted solid gains. The tech sector was led by the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.35%), but the Networking Index ($NWX -0.33%) and the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.92%) both fell. Energy-linked groups were mixed as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.64%) edged lower and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.540%) posted a modest gain. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.45%) also ended slightly higher. Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com
 PICTURED: The Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.540%) has rebounded to its 200-day moving average (DMA) line. That long-term average acted as resistance in late-April and May, during its ongoing consolidation since its peak in Dec '16.

Extended From Any Sound Base After Additional Volume-Driven Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Arista Networks Inc (ANET -$0.96 or -0.53% to $181.72) is perched near its all-time high following additional volume-driven gains, extended from any sound base. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($166.17) and prior highs in the $162 area define important near-term support to watch on pullbacks. Fundamentals remain very strong.
It was last shown in this FSU section on 8/23/17 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Gapped Up After Earnings Repairing 50-Day Moving Average Violation". Strength returned and it gapped up for new highs on 8/04/17 after it reported Jun '17 earnings rose +81% on +51% sales revenues versus the year ago period. ANET has shown strong and steady increases in quarterly sales revenues while earnings have routinely been well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Its annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong, however, its history is limited since its $43 IPO in June of 2014.
ANET traded up as much as +97.6% since first highlighted at $93.80 in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 2015 high plus 10 cents in the 11/21/16 mid-day report (read here).
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 360 in Dec '15 to 590 Jun '17, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. The high-ranked Computer - Networking firm has a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship Rating of B. Its small supply of 45 million shares (S criteria) in the public float may contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

Y - Quietly touched a new 52-week high but ended the session weak. Current Relative Strength Rating of 79 is just below the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates under the fact-based investment system. Very little resistance remains due to overhead supply up to its $115.74 all-time high. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.

Y - Still consolidating in a tight range near its 50 DMA line ($249) after enduring distributional pressure. Recent lows define the next important support in the $238-240 area. Subsequent violations would trigger more worrisome technical sell signals. Fundamentals remain strong. It has not produced volume-driven gains since highlighted in the 8/24/17 mid-day report - "Subsequent volume-driven gains above the pivot and for new highs may trigger a technical buy signal."

It is only -8.6% off its all-time high, but its Relative Strength Rating has slumped to 52, below the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates. Fundamentals remain strong.

Y - Gapped up today for a gain with light volume. The new pivot point cited was based on its 8/07/17 high plus 10 cents. Faces some near-term resistance. Subsequent volume-driven gains above the pivot point are needed to trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Recent low ($185.80 on 9/05/17) and its 50 DMA line ($182.53) define important near-term support where violations would trigger technical sell signals. Fundamentals remain strong.

Y - Quietly hovering near its all-time high. New pivot point cited is based on its 8/01/17 high plus 10 cents. Recent gains above the 50 DMA line helped its outlook improve. Subsequent gains above the latest pivot point with at least the minimum +40% above average volume may trigger a proper new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Fundamentals remain strong.

Y - A new pivot point is cited based on its 7/26/17 plus 10 cents. Subsequent volume-driven gains for new highs may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Consolidating above its 50 DMA line ($36.32). Subsequent losses below the recent low ($34.41 on 8/18/17) would raise more serious concerns and trigger a technical sell signal.
