Concerning the M criteria, the major averages recently endured distributional pressure and leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) waned, putting the rally under pressure. New buying efforts should only be made in stocks meeting all of the fundamental and technical guidelines the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The Dow fell 142 points to 17,928, slumping back below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

The Semiconductor Index ($SOX -2.22%), Biotechnology Index ($BTK -1.98%), and the Networking Index ($NWX -1.40%) suffered unanimous losses on Tuesday, and the tech sector weakness caused the Nasdaq Composite Index to fall harder than its larger peers.  The Retail Index ($RLX -0.92%) created a drag on the major averages along with modest losses in financial shares as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.97%) and the Bank Index ($BKX -0.49%) both slumped.  The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.71%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -1.37%) both lost ground, meanwhile the Oil Services Index ($OSX +1.34%) was a standout gainer.

PICTURED: The Biotechnology Index ($BTK -1.98%) has been slumping below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Apogee Enterprises (APOG  -$0.50 or -0.93% to $53.33) is extended from its prior base. Prior highs in the $48 area define initial support to watch on pullbacks. It was last shown in this FSU section on 4/09/15 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Breakaway Gap Backed With 8 Times Average Volume". It was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 2/26/15 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). It gapped up hitting new 52-week highs (N criteria), then finished the session well above its pivot point, clinching a technical buy signal with 8 times its average daily volume behind the big gain.

APOG reported Feb '15 quarterly earnings +74% on +15% sales revenues. Earnings increases were above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) in the 5 latest quarterly comparisons. Following a downturn and losses for FY '11 it has been showing better annual earnings (A criteria) growth. The Bldg- Constr Prds/Misc group has shown leadership (L criteria) and has a 93 Group Relative Strength Rating.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 272 in Jun '14 to 339 in Mar '15, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.8 is also an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. Its small supply of only 27.5 million shares (S criteria) in the publicly traded flat can contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
