S&P 500 Index and Dow Jones Industrial Average Hover at All-Time Highs

Stocks finished flat on Tuesday. The volume was reported lighter than the prior session totals on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE. Decliners led advancers by a almost a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and 5-4 on the Nasdaq Exchange. There were 55 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, down from the total of 113 stocks on the prior session. New 52-week highs contracted yet still easily outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 4 of the 10 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page. The S&P 500 Index and Dow Jones Industrial Average continued their surges into new high territory. The expansion in leadership (new 52-week highs) is a reassuring 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.

 

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is perched at an all-time high and up +5.5% year-to-date.

Investors took a breather following the recent rally. Economic data garnered some attention. Wholesale inventories increased for the 10th consecutive month in April and a gauge of small business optimism unexpectedly rose last month to the highest since September 2007. On the earnings front, RadioShack (RSH -11%) after posting its ninth-straight quarterly decline in sales. In other news, Best Buy (BBY +2.4%) rose after raising its quarterly dividend for the first time in two years.
Overall, sectors were mixed. Consumer discretionary and utilities were the worst performing groups as Target (TGT -1.3%) and Duke Energy (DUK -0.6%) fell. Gains in health care and technology helped limit losses as Johnson & Johnson (JNJ +0.9%) rose. Facebook (FB +4.6%) rallied following news that it hired eBay's (EBAY ) PayPal president to lead the company's mobile messaging business.
Treasuries declined for a third session and the government sold $28 billion in three-year notes at the highest yield since May 2011. The 10-year note fell 10/32 to yield 2.64%.

Gold & Silver Index a Standout Group on Indecisive Session

The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.69%) was a negative influence and it outpaced the Bank Index ($BKX -0.11%) to the downside while the Retail Index ($RLX -0.06%) finished flat on Tuesday.  The tech sector showed a slightly positive bias as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.29%), Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.27%), and Networking Index ($NWX +0.13%) edged higher. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +2.02%) was a standout gainer while the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.04%) finished flat and the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.41%) suffered a small loss.

PICTURED: The Networking Index ($NWX +0.13%) rose above prior highs after finding support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Relative Strength Line's Downward Slope a Discouraging Sign

Michael Kors Hldgs Ltd (KORS +$0.45 or +0.48% to $94.38) has still been finding support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. Subsequent losses leading to 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.

KORS faces some resistance due to overhead supply up through the $101 level. Its Relative Strength ratting of 82 is above the 80+ minimum for buy candidates under the fact-based investment system, however the jagged blue Relative Strength line was higher month ago. Historic studies have shown that most big stock market winners saw their Relative Strength lines hitting new high territory prior to the stock price technically breaking out to new high. Downward slope of its Relative Strength line in recent months is therefore considered a discouraging sign. 

KORS was last shown in this FSU section on 5/27/14 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Earnings News May Prompt Volume and Volatility". On that session it encountered distributional pressure as it erased early gains and finished lower after a "negative reversal". The fact it has found support above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line since is an encouraging sign that institutional owners are still looking at the company with favor. However, damaging deterioration below that important short-term average would raise more serious concerns and trigger a technical sell signal and would hint that institutional owners were turning skeptical.

Fundamentals remain favorable with respect to the fact-based investment system (C and A criteria). This high-ranked Apparel - Clothing Manufacturing firm has headquarters in Hong Kong. It completed Secondary Offerings on 9/25/12 and 2/20/13, each time while perched near its all-time highs.  Prior reports noted - "Such offerings often are a short-term hindrance to upward price progress yet typically result in broader institutional ownership interest."  The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 668 in Jun '13 to 1,093 in Mar '14, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.
