Major Averages Had Mixed Session With Lighter Volume Totals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major averages were mixed and little changed on Monday's session. The volume was reported lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by an 8-7 margin on the NYSE and by more than a 3-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 64 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from the total of 52 stocks on the prior session. New 52-week highs easily outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 5 of the 10 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished at a new all-time high. The Blue Chip index is up +1% year-to-date. Many individual issues have managed more substantial rallies in recent weeks. The latest surge into new high territory coupled with an expansion in leadership (new 52-week highs) helped signal that the market direction (M criteria) is in a "confirmed uptrend". Any new buying efforts should be selective and focused in stocks meeting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system.
The major averages finished mostly higher on the first trading day of June as investors weighed data on the U.S. economy. This morning’s update by the Institute for Supply Management was later corrected to show U.S. manufacturing activity expanded at a faster pace in May. Another release revealed construction spending rose 0.2% in April, less than a projected 0.6% increase.
In M&A news, ARC Healthcare (HCT +9.65%) after Ventas (VTR -2.80%) said it would buy the company for $2.6 billion. Protective Life (PL +11.87%) rallied amid reports it is in talks to be acquired by Japan's second largest life insurer.
Materials and industrials were the best performing groups as Dow Chemical (DOW +0.75%) and Caterpillar (CAT +1.50%) rose. Technology was down the most on the session as Apple (AAPL -0.69%) fell after unveiling new mobile software at its annual World Developers Conference.
Treasuries were lower with the 10-year note down 14/32 to yield 2.53%.

Bank and Semiconductor Indexes Led Group Gainers
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Bank Index ($BKX +0.54%) was a positive influence on the major averages on Monday while the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.08%) finished flat. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.54%) posted a modest gain while the Networking Index ($NWX -0.91%) and the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.28%) ended lower. Commodity-linked groups had a slightly negative bias while the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.51%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.26%) tallied small losses. The Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.06%) and the Retail Index ($RLX -0.04%) both were essentially unchanged.

Extended From Prior Base After +15% Rally in One Month
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Trinity Industries Inc (TRN -$0.04 or -0.05% to $86.49) is extended from its prior base. It traded up as much as +15.57% since first highlighted in yellow in the 4/30/14 mid-day report report (read here). Disciplined investors avoid chasing stocks extended more than +5% above prior highs and they always limit losses by selling any stock that falls more than -7% from their purchase price. Prior highs in the $75-76 area define near-term support to watch on pullbacks.
TRN was last shown in this FSU section on 5/12/14 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Rose Beyond "Max Buy" Level With 7th Consecutive Gain". The Transportation - Equipment Manufacturing firm reported earnings +213% on +57% sales revenues for the Mar '14 quarter, and prior quarterly comparisons were above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) have improved following a downturn in FY '08-10. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 2.0 is an unbiased indication that its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.

Y - Relative Strength rating has slumped to 78, below the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates, raising concerns. Finding support at its 50 DMA line, but deterioration below that important short-term average would raise more concerns and trigger a technical sell signal. A breakout above the pivot point with at least +40% above average volume is needed to trigger a new technical buy signal. Reported earnings +56% on +54% sales revenues for the Mar '14 quarter, and prior quarters were also well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). See the latest FSU analysis for more details and annotated graphs.

Y - Today it tallied a 2nd consecutive volume-driven gain above its pivot point. Faces some remaining overhead supply through the $80 level. Highlighted in yellow in the 5/29/14 mid-day report (read here) as its gap up gain with 5 times average volume completed a bullish "double bottom" base. Prior highs near $72 define important support above its downward sloping 50 DMA line.
