Leadership Improves as Rally Resumes
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Markets closed higher on Monday. The Dow rose 304 points to 16776. The S&P 500 climbed 35 points to 1987. The NASDAQ added 73 points to 4781. Solid follow-through gains for the major indices signaled a new confirmed uptrend (M criteria). The volume totals on Monday were reported mixed, higher than the prior session total on the NYSE, but slightly lower on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was convincingly positive as advancers led decliners by a 7-1 margin on the NYSE and by more than 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved meaningfully as there were 35 stocks that made it onto the BreakOuts Page, up from the prior session total of 10 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made a new 52-week high. New 52-week highs improved on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, outnumbering a shrinking list of new 52-week lows on both exchanges. There were gains for all 5 high-ranked companies currently on the Featured Stocks Page.
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average rebounded near its 50-day moving average (DMA). Monday marked its highest close of the recovery.
PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index's +1.4% gain on Friday with higher volume marked a follow-through day on Day 4 of a new rally. Its MACD indicator turned bullish. It faces near-term resistance at prior highs and its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.
All 3 major averages (M criteria) remain well below their 200-day moving average lines. Members have been repeatedly reminded in recent weeks 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.
The major averages advanced on Monday as traders speculated the Fed may hold off on any potential rate increases. Economic data from both ISM and Markit showed slower-than-anticipated services sector improvement during September. Meanwhile, the labor market conditions index last month fell to 0, missing estimates for a drop to 1.4.
All 10 sectors of the S&P 500 finished in positive territory. Industrials posted the best profit. New labor contracts pushed Deere & Co (DE +6.31%) higher. Nelson Peltz announced a $2.5 billion stake in General Electric Co (GE +5.30%). Commodity producers gained in sympathy with raw material prices, as Exxon Mobil (XOM +1.23%) and Freeport-McMoRan (FCX +5.27%) rose. In tech, FireEye (FEYE slumped -3.57 on the heels of bearish analyst remarks. After negotiating with United Auto Workers, Ford Motor Co (F +1.43%) rose.
The number of stocks listed to the Featured Stocks Page waned during deteriorating market conditions.

Rebounding Near Prior High After "V" Shaped Consolidation
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
B O F I Holding Inc (BOFI +$3.41 or +2.62% to $133.54) rebounded to a best ever close today. No resistance remains due to overhead supply, however the "V" shaped consolidation over the past 10 weeks is not recognized as an ideal base pattern. Recent market strength (M criteria) gave a reassuring sign arguing in favor of new buying efforts under the fact-based investment system. BOFI was last shown in this FSU section on 9/18/15 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Slumped Below 50-Day Average With Higher Volume Loss".
It reported Jun '15 quarterly earnings +41% on +42% sales revenues, above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). 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 288 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 C. 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."
