Concerning the M criteria, the major averages have seen less distributional pressure in recent weeks and there has remained a healthy level of leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week 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 Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.41%) has tallied 5 consecutive gains and rebounded above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Linkedin Corp (LNKD +$9.21 or +3.60% to $265.35) gapped up today, rebounding above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line, helping its technical stance improve. It found support while consolidating above prior highs in the $243 area. Its color code was changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 2/26/15 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent volume-driven gains for new highs may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. 

LNKD was last shown in this FSU section on 3/19/15 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Stalled Following 'Breakaway Gap' 6 Weeks Ago ". It has made no progress since the considerable "breakaway gap" noted in the 2/06/15 mid-day report (read here).

It reported earnings +56% on +44% sales revenues for the Dec '14 quarter. That marked its 3rd consecutive quarter with earnings above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria), following sub par Dec '13 and Mar '14 earnings results. It has maintained a strong annual earnings (A criteria) history. 

The high-ranked leader from the Internet - Content group's Return On Equity of 9% is still below the 17% guideline, which is a minor concern. Its Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.6 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. Ownership by top-rated funds has been on the rise from 885 in Jun '14 to 1,116 in Mar '15, an encouraging sign concerning the I criteria.
