Major Averages Posted Small Gains With Lighter Volume Totals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Despite Friday's advance, the Dow lost -0.9% this week and the S&P 500 fell -0.7%, snapping three-straight weeks of gains. The NASDAQ declined for the first time in five weeks, finishing with a weekly loss of -0.3%. The session's volume was reported lighter than the prior session totals on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE. Advancers led decliners by almost a 3-2 margin on the NYSE but led by only a narrow margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership contracted as there were only 25 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 32 stocks on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 5 of the 10 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page. The S&P 500 Index and Dow Jones Industrial Average recently surged into new high territory with healthy leadership (new 52-week highs) sending 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 gained 6 points to 1,936, consolidating well above prior highs, its 50-day moving average (DMA) line, and an upward trendline defining important support.
The major averages advanced on Friday to trim their weekly losses. The Dow rose 41 points to 16,775. The NASDAQ was up 13 points to 4,310.
Stocks climbed higher as nine of the 10 S&P 500 sectors rose. Energy paced the advance as the price of WTI crude rose amid concerns that violence in Iraq may disrupt oil supplies. Schlumberger (SLB +1.81%). Technology stocks also helped lift the market. Intel (INTC +6.83%) after the company boosted its second-quarter and full-year sales forecasts. M&A activity added to the upside. OpenTable (OPEN +48.35%) after Priceline (PCLN -2.99%) agreed to acquire the company for about $2.6 billion. On the downside, health care was the worst performing group as Merck (MRK -0.10%) edged lower.
Economic data was on the back burner. Producer prices fell last month for the first time since February while a gauge of consumer confidence declined in June to a three-month low. Treasuries were virtually unchanged. The 10-year note lost 2/32 to yield 2.60%

Chemical Firm Quietly Posted 7th Consecutive Weekly Gain
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Westlake Chemical Corp (WLK +$0.22 or +0.27% to $82.41) remains quietly perched at its 52-week high. It is extended from any sound base after tallying 7 consecutive weekly gains. Very few investors have headed for the exit as the daily volume totals have been below average while it has held its ground stubbornly since last shown in this FSU section on 5/30/14 under the headline, "Extended From Prior Base After 5 Weekly Gains". Prior highs near $77 define important near-term support to watch on pullbacks. It is well above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line, the next familiar and very important support level for chart readers.
It finished Friday's session up +13.2% from when it was first featured in yellow at $72.79 rallying from a "double bottom" base in the 4/29/14 mid-day report (read here). It reported +28% earnings on +19% sales for the Mar '14 quarter, and it has earned great ranks as its quarterly earnings increases have been above the +25% minimum (C criteria). Its annual earnings growth rate (A criteria) has also been strong after a downturn in FY '08 and '09. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 381 in Sep '13 to 409 in Mar '14, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria. The small supply of only 40 million shares (S criteria) in the public float is ideal, while it can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of new institutional buying or selling.
The Chemicals - Basic industry group has seen its Group Relative Strength rating rise from 65 to 86 since shown in this FSU section on 4/29/14 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Technical Breakout From Double Bottom Base Pattern". Strong action and leadership from others in the group is a reassuring sign concerning the L criteria.

G - Rebounded from early lows back into positive territory. On the prior session its 50 DMA line violation triggered a technical sell signal as it suffered a damaging loss backed by heavy volume amid widespread losses in the industry group. Only a prompt rebound above its 50 DMA line would help its outlook improve. Disciplined investors limit losses by selling any stock that falls more than -7% from their purchase price.

Y - Pulled back today for a 3rd consecutive loss, quietly retreating from its all-time high. It stalled since triggering its latest technical buy signal. Prior highs in the $43-42 area define initial support to watch. Disciplined investors avoid chasing stocks extended more than +5% above their pivot point, and they always sell if any stock falls more than -7% from their purchase price.
