Concerning the M criteria, ongoing gains for the major averages have established a confirmed uptrend with a healthy crop of stocks hitting new highs.  New buying efforts should only be made in stocks meeting all of the fundamental and technical guidelines the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index has recently wedged into new all-time high territory, with gains lacking great volume conviction. The move into new high ground looks much like the S&P 600 Small cap Index shown in the previous  report (read here).

The Retail Index ($RLX +0.61%) posted a modest gain and helped the major averages along with modest gains from the tech sector. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.26%), Networking Index ($NWX +0.27%), and the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.54%) posted unanimous gains but each rose less than +1% on the session. The Bank Index ($BKX -0.17%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.07%) finished mixed and little changed. Commodity-linked groups fell as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -2.34%) was a standout decliner and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.94%) and Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.23%) both lost ground.

PICTURED: The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.26%) is perched at all-time highs.

United Insurance Holding (UIHC -$3.02 or -11.86% to $22.44) violated its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and triggered a technical sell signal. Today's 2nd consecutive volume-driven loss was noted as action indicative of distributional pressure. It reported earnings +22% on +20% sales revenues for the Dec '14 quarter, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), raising fundamental concerns.

UIHC traded up as much as +30.63% since first highlighted in yellow at $20.64 with pivot point cited based on its 11/05/14 high plus 10 cents in the 12/05/14 mid-day report (read here). It was last shown in this FSU section on 1/29/15 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Extended After Tallying More Volume-Driven Gains". 

Annual earnings (A criteria) have been strong. It completed a new Public Offering on 2/27/14. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 30 in Dec '13 to 174 in Dec  '14. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.3 still hints that its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. Still, disciplined investors might consider looking for a fresh buy candidate without flaws developing with respect to the fact-based investment system's guidelines.
