Major Averages Rose With Lighter Volume Totals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks pushed higher on Monday. The Dow gained 165 points to 17828. The S&P 500 was up 24 points to 2104. The NASDAQ advanced 73 points to 5127. Volume totals were reported lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 4-1 margin on the NYSE and nearly 4-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 50 stocks that made it onto the BreakOuts Page, up from the prior session total of 45 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made a new 52-week high. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 5 of the 8 high-ranked companies currently on the Featured Stocks Page.
PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index finished -1.4% off its all-time high.
The major indices have established a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Coupled with a reassuring expansion in leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) big gains helped the S&P 500 Index, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq Composite Index unanimously rally above their respective 200-day moving average lines. The market environment is technically in healthier shape. New buying efforts may be considered in stocks meeting all key criteria, and some new candidates have met the strict guidelines of the fact-based investment system in the recent recovery.
The major averages rallied on the heels of their best monthly performance since 2011 in October, investors focused on economic data and earnings as well as a flurry of M&A activity. In economic news, Markit and ISM manufacturing numbers were both slightly above analyst projections, as was September construction spending. M&A news remains at the forefront with Dyax (DYAX +28.41%) surging after agreeing to a takeover offer from Britain’s Shire (SHPG -1.04%). In earnings, Visa (V -3.04%) fell after missing profit forecasts but slightly exceeding revenue expectations. The company also confirmed the expected $23 billion purchase of Visa Europe. Este Lauder (EL +8.09%) rose after exceeding analyst projections on both the top and bottom line. All ten sectors in the S&P finished higher on Monday. The energy, financials and healthcare sectors paced the gains, with each climbing more than 1.5%. Treasuries moved lower on the day. The benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury note lost 10/32 to yield 2.18%. Commodities were mostly lower. WTI crude was off 1.0% to $46.12/barrel while COMEX gold declined 0.7% to $1133.40/ounce. In FOREX, the dollar was little changed with mild weakness against the euro and strength against the yen. The Featured Stocks Page saw some new names recently added.

Prior Highs Define Support Following Recent Breakout
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Manhattan Associates Inc (MANH +$1.12 or +1.54% to $73.97) is consolidating above its "max buy" level following volume-driven gains. Prior highs in the $69 area define initial support to watch on pullbacks. It was last shown in this FSU section on 10/21/15 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Finished Strong With Gain Backed By Heavy Volume". The considerable gain helped it rise from a choppy 3-month base. It was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 7/23/15 high plus 10 cents in the 10/21/15 mid-day report (read here). It reported earnings +31% on +13% sales revenues for the Sep '15 quarter, its 4th consecutive quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Earnings were +25%, +31%, +28%, and +31% in the Dec '14, Mar, Jun, and Sep '15 quarters, respectively, versus the year ago periods. Sales revenues rose +21%, +18%, +14%, and +13% during that same span. The Computer Software group has shown a good leadership (L criteria). MANH has a 98 Earnings Per Share (EPS) rating. Its Relative Strength line recently rallied to new highs ahead of the shares' move into new high territory, a reassuring sign. It has a small supply of 73.1 million shares (S criteria) outstanding, which can contribute to volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its share rose from 422 in Dec '14 to 512 in Sep '15, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.6 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. MANH was previously noted on 7/22/15 - "Patient investors may watch for a new base or secondary buy point to possibly develop and be noted in the weeks ahead. Following a downturn in its FY '09 earnings (A criteria) it has shown strong earnings growth." Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com

G - Rallying further into new high territory above its "max buy" level with today's 4th consecutive volume-driven gains.
