Major Averages Ended Mixed and Little Changed

The major averages ended mixed and little changed on Thursday. The volume was reported mixed, higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and lower on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a 9-7 margin on the NYSE but decliners led advancers by about a 5-4 margin 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, up from the total of 48 stocks on the prior session. New 52-week highs swelled and easily outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 6 of the 11 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 near all-time highs and up +2% year-to-date. Near-term support is at its upward trendline and its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

The major averages ended a choppy session mixed as investors weighed the latest economic data releases. Before the open, weekly jobless claims fell 6,000 to 312,000, slightly better than the 313,000 consensus estimate. A separate release revealed activity in the Fed's Philadelphia region unexpectedly expanded at a faster pace in June. The index of leading indicators rose +0.5% in May versus expectations to increase +0.6%.
On the earnings front, Kroger (KR +5.06%) rose after quarterly results beat analyst projections and the company increased its full-year forecast. Blackberry (BBRY +9.65%) jumped as the smartphone maker posted a narrower-than-expected loss. Shares of Coach (COH -8.93%) slumped after providing a reduced sales outlook for its North American stores.
The defensive utility and consumer staples sectors were the best performing in S&P 500. Dominion Resources (D +1.5%) and Philip Morris International (PM +1.62%) rose. Financials and materials were down the most on the session. JP Morgan Chase & Co (JPM -0.83%) and Dow Chemical (DOW -0.86%) ended the day lower.
Treasuries retreated with the benchmark note falling 12/32 to yield 2.63%.

Gold & Silver Index Was a Standout Gainer

The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +4.66%) was a standout gainer on Thursday while other industry groups had difficulty making headway. energy-related groups had a positive bias as the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.54%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.68%) both edged higher. Meanwhile the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.94%) and the Bank Index ($BKX -0.35%) edged lower while a loss from the Retail Index ($RLX -0.73%) also created a drag on the major averages. The Networking Index ($NWX -1.29%) fell while the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.06%) and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.12%) finished flat.

PICTURED: The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +4.66%) rallied above its April high with a considerable gain on Thursday.

Perched Near Highs With Strong Fundamentals

Buffalo Wild Wings Inc (BWLD +$1.41 or +0.91% to $157.12) was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 3/21/14 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). It challenged its 52-week high with today's 3rd consecutive gain while working on the right side of a 13-week base. Subsequent volume-driven gains above the pivot point are still needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal.

It reported earnings +71% on +21% sales revenues for the Mar '14 quarter, well above the +25% minimum earnings (C criteria) guideline, an improvement after a slightly sub par quarter. It found support at its 200-day moving average (DMA) line then rebounded since last noted with caution in the 4/03/14 mid-day report - "Reported earnings +24% on +12% sales revenues for the Dec '13 quarter."

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 337 in Jun '13 to 356 in Mar '14, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its small supply of only 18.9 million shares (S criteria) outstanding can contribute to great price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
