Indices Showed Little Decisiveness While Hovering Near Record Highs
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major averages finished little changed on Monday's session. The volume was reported lighter than the prior session total on the Nasdaq exchange and volume was reported slightly higher on the NYSE. Advancers led decliners by a narrow margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership expanded as there were 38 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 25 stocks on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 7 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 Dow Jones Industrial Average is consolidating well above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and above an upward trendline defining near-term support to watch on pullbacks.
The major averages ended a choppy trading session modestly higher as investors weighed the increased violence in Iraq against encouraging updates on the U.S. economy and M&A news. Before the open, reports that showed industrial output improved in May and activity in the Fed's New York region expanded at a faster pace in June. An update on the housing market revealed homebuilder sentiment improved this month to its best level since January.
On the M&A front, Covidien (COV +20.5%) was up significantly after Medtronic (MDT -1.10%) agreed to purchase the company for $43 billion. Williams Company (WMB +18.74%) spiked higher after announcing it would acquire the remainder of Access Midstream Partners (ACMP +1.85%) it doesn't own for $6 billion.
Seven of 10 sectors in the S&P 500 were up on the session. Utilities and energy were the best performing groups as Exelon (EXC +1.09%) and Chevron (CVX +1.01%) rose. Financials and materials were down the most as Bank of America (BAC -1.04%) and Alcoa (AA -1.17%) declined.
In fixed-income trading, the benchmark 10-year note was up 2/32 to yield 2.60%.

Retail, Semiconductor, and Biotech Indexes Were Positive Influences
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
On Monday the Bank Index ($BKX -0.71%) created a drag on the major averages and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.09%) finished flat. The Retail Index ($RLX +0.52%) was a positive influence, and the tech sector saw modest gains from the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.48%) and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.55%). The Networking Index ($NWX -0.18%) edged lower. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.44%) finished with a small loss while energy-related groups held their ground as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.14%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.08%) both finished flat.
Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The Retail Index ($RLX +0.52%) is consolidating below its upward sloping 200-day moving average (DMA) line. That long-term average is currently above its downward sloping 50 DMA line.

Recent Lows and 50-Day Moving Average Line Define Near-Term Support
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Trinity Industries Inc (TRN +$3.13 or +3.85% to $84.50) gapped up today for a solid gain and finished near the session high, ending a streak of 4 consecutive losses. Recent lows define near-term support that comes into play above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($77.79). Subsequent deterioration below those levels would raise concerns and trigger technical sell signals.
TRN 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. The high-ranked Transportation - Equipment Manufacturing firm was last shown in this FSU section on 6/02/14 with annotated graphs under the headline, "Extended From Prior Base After +15% Rally in One Month".
It has earned high ranks and reported earnings +213% on +57% sales revenues for the Mar '14 quarter. 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 1.3 is an unbiased indication that its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. Its fairly small supply of 77.5 million shares outstanding (S criteria) can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

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.
