Major Indices Posted Gains in May
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
For the month of May, the benchmark S&P 500 Index rose +1.1%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained +0.9%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index rallied +2.2% while reaching new record highs. Stocks retreated on Friday. The Dow lost 115 points to 18010. The S&P 500 declined 31 points to 2107. The NASDAQ fell 27 points to 5070. The volume totals were higher than the prior session total on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE, a sign of distributional pressure or selling from the institutional crowd. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by more than 2-1 on the NYSE and by 9-5 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 28 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the BreakOuts Page, down from the prior session total of 40 stocks. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the Nasdaq exchange, however new lows outnumber new highs on the NYSE. There were gains for 8 of the 14 high-ranked companies currently on the Featured Stocks Page.
Concerning the M criteria, stocks have endured distributional pressure after making little headway following the bullish action on 5/14/15 which met the definition of a "follow-through day". Investors still have a favorable market environment for buying stocks meeting all of the key fundamental and technical criteria, however, any sustained rally requires healthy leadership (more stocks hitting new 52-week highs).
 PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average slumped to a close below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.
The major averages consolidated as investors focused on a report showing the U.S. economy shrank 0.7% and personal consumption rose 1.8% in the first quarter. Two gauges of manufacturing for May missed expectations, and consumer confidence decreased to a six-month low.
All 10 S&P 500 sectors were lower. Financials were off the most. After announcing job cuts, JP Morgan (JPM -0.63%) fell and Bank of America (BAC -1.02%) ended lower. Industrials were notable underperformers as Kansas City Southern (KSU -2.06%) and United Rentals (URI -6.36%) tumbled. Abercrombie (ANF -7.38% retraced some of Thursday's gains.
In M&A, Altera (ALTR +4.00%) rose on speculation Intel (INTC +1.32%)may succeed in attempts to acquire the company. Avago (AVGO +4.00%) added to the prior session's advance. A positive earnings report lifted GameStop (GME +6.09%).
Treasuries gained but finished off intraday highs. The 10-year note climbed 4/32 to yield 2.12%.
Commodities were mostly higher. WTI crude rallied 4.4% to $60.20/barrel on lower rig counts. COMEX gold finished 0.2% higher to $1190.20/ounce. .

Negative Reversal Today After Touching New Highs
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Ulta Salon Cosmetics & Fragrance, Inc. (ULTA -$3.65 or -2.34% to $152.62) touched a new 52-week high, but it finished weak today after a "negative reversal". That worrisome distributional action is easy to see on the 6-month daily graph included below. It was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 4/24/15 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). It was noted - "A volume-driven gain and close above its pivot point may trigger a proper technical buy signal. Found support near its 50 DMA line while building on an orderly flat base."
It reported earnings +34%, +26%, +22%, and +35% in the Jul '14, Oct '14, Jan '15 and Apr '15 quarterly comparisons, respectively. Its strong earnings have been underpinned by steady sales revenues increases in the +21-22% range during that span of time. In 3 of the past 4 quarterly comparisons results have now been above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria).
Its advance has been choppy since last shown in this FSU section on 12/21/12 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Relative Strength Rating Sub Par For Buy Candidates After Retreat ". The 2-year weekly graph below illustrates the previously noted deep consolidation below its 200 DMA line, then gradual progress back to new high territory since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 1/07/13.
Its solid annual earnings (A criteria) history is very reassuring. It has a small supply (S criteria) of only 63 million shares in the public float. The number of top-rated funds with an ownership interest has grown from 566 funds in Jun '14 to 757 funds as of Mar '15, which is a very encouraging sign of increasing institutional interest (the I criteria). Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.4 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.

Y - Reversed into the red after hitting another new 52-week high today following 3 consecutive gains. On the prior session it rallied above its pivot point with volume +117% above average triggering a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Important support is defined by its 50 DMA line ($65.93) where more damaging losses would raise greater concerns and trigger a technical sell signal.

G - Gapped up today and rallied above its "max buy" level for a new 52-week high and its color code was changed to green. Highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 3/23/15 high plus 10 cents in the 5/28/15 mid-day report (read here). This Singapore-based Electronics - Semiconductor firm spiked to a new 52-week high, technically breaking out of a riskier "late stage" base. It announced plans to acquire Broadcom (BRCM) as mentioned in the 5/27/15 commentary (read here). The Apr '15 quarter marked its 6th consecutive quarterly earnings increase above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) and its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong.

Y - Rallied further into new high territory today after prior volume-driven gains triggered a technical buy signal. No overhead supply remains to act as resistance. Its 50 DMA line and recent lows near $93.50 define important chart support where more damaging losses may raise concerns and trigger worrisome technical sell signals.

G - Loss today on higher volume was indicative of distributional pressure while still consolidating near its 52-week high. Reported earnings +5% on +16% sales revenues for the Mar '15 quarter, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), a fundamental flaw making it a less favorable buy candidate. Prior reports cautioned - "It did not produce gains above the pivot point backed by at least the +40% above average volume necessary to trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Its 50 DMA line defines near-term support to watch."

Y - Finished near the session high today and just above its 50 DMA line with a gain on lighter volume. Subsequent volume-driven gains above the pivot point are needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal. Reported earnings +28% on +29% sales revenues for the Mar '15 quarter, helping its quarterly and annual earnings history (C and A criteria) better match the guidelines of the fact-based investment system. Made gradual progress following the previously noted "breakaway gap" on 2/12/15. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and an annotated graph.

G - It is extended from its prior base and disciplined investors avoid chasing stocks more than +5% above their pivot point or prior highs. Prior highs in the $158 area define initial support above the 50 DMA line. Subsequent violations would raise concerns and may trigger a technical sell signal.

| Subscriber Question: |
May 22, 2015 |
Dear Ken,
I miss the old charts. Is there some reason you're using the charts from stockcharts.com instead? I used the additional information provided on the old charts to help me make buy decisions.
Thank you,
Robin |

Dear Robin:
I am thankful that you wrote in with your feedback. Input from our members has helped to shape the services provided since the beginning in 1996. I am pleased to know that you are among our members who did appreciate the high-quality charts previously included in our articles under license.
Hopefully you will specify to us all of the most important information that is useful to you in making your buy and sell decisions, then we might expound on these points more thoroughly in future articles to satisfy your needs and more. If there is something we are inadvertently leaving out which is considered "absolutely necessary" to you in your own fact-based investing, please know that we will strive to include it.
We made a mistake, to some degree, years-ago after we upgraded from simple price/volume graphs with 50-day and 200-day moving average lines. Surely, the data-packed graphs included under license from 2005-2015 were helpful to some, however, their complexity created some confusion for many people who are not very familiar with the various ratings. Many folks do not know how to interpret and make good use of the additional information, and the inclusion of the busier graphs turned out to not be as much of a selling point as we had expected. Honestly, half of our customers might prefer a simple TEXT-ME-THE-PICKS service providing ticker symbols with scant other details.
Stock charting services on the Internet are numerous. But services specifically providing expert real-time help with the day-to-day application of the fact-based investment system are uncommon.
Let me share something with you that might be a helpful way to frame things up with regard to the graphs and text of our service. Back when I was a kid, my father used to watch the Miami Dolphins on television. However, my dad would turn the volume all the way down! Instead, he tuned in and listened to the AM radio announcers giving the play-by-play of the very same football game. The radio guys did a much better job than the television announcers. The television announcers were lazy and less effective with their words because they assumed you could also see the action happening. Sometimes the television broadcast was delayed or interrupted by a news flash, and we would hear the plays on the radio and be looking more closely a few seconds later to watch it on the screen.
Providing superior value in the timeliness of the graphs and detailed text of our services is how we hope to score more touchdowns with members like you. If you are a more successful investor with our service, then we will have reached our goal.
I would love to hear from you concerning the above. I will appreciate your patience, as before, for my professional response. Hopefully you understand that we are doing our utmost to satisfy our members' needs while applying proven fact-based investment tactics.
Best regards,![]()
